The Crab Pot

We have not been here for a long time and decided to give it another try as our previous visit was not good. Great location and view, friendly service, our server took care of us but again the seafood is not fresh and overcooked. The seafood is frozen . It's my birthday dinner and disappointed. I got a happy birthday greetings from the server but decided not to get any dessert.

We were there for a birthday dinner and the crab pot did not disappoint! We had a couple of large 1 L beers that lasted the whole meal, and then a nice clam bake that was correctly dumped on the table that had been covered with some paper for easy cleanup. The service was real nice and the marina ambience was excellent with the fading light of the day.

Location was AWESOME!! So peaceful, relaxing and the weather was amazing. Service was outstanding! Each employee we contacted was very friendly and professional. The venue overall is very nice. Other than the clam chowder which was EXCELLENT! The food here was mediocre at best. The calamari was bland, the shrimp had no flavor whatsoever, the chicken tenders were extremely salty and the fries were cold for every person in my party. One visit here was enough for my party and I as I don't have $250.00 to throw away a second time

Delicious food!! Service was great and speedy t! View was amazing and so was the sunset :) we got lucky came in right before the rush started so we had a view from the inside but by the window!

The staff were all great and our server was amazing. Thank you Andre P. We sat outside on a beautiful day and enjoyed the dock views. They had the baseball games on the TV's and the bar was packed. Based of other reviews I can see what they mean about the food but no one in my party had any issues with flavor. Fish and chips were good. Only slip up would be timing the food to come out closer together. Half our table had food getting cold while waiting for the rest to come out. Overall it was a good lunch and worth trying once if in the area. The establishment itself has lots of character. Plenty of parking with security.

Okayyyyyyyy Crab Pot! You officially have my attention! Although located in the busy Alamitos Bay Marina Center this place is kind of "off broadway" and has its own corner of the market. Because of its isolation it has plenty of parking and almost never full, so you can come anytime! If you're coming, come during the happy hour, so you can enjoy fabulous fried seafood and margaritas! Our server was super quick and shout out to the kitchen for making delicious food. There's a vast variety of seating: from outdoor to indoor to patio to seaside to lounge to bar to banquet! Feels like you're dining in a western-movie-themed log cabin that floats on the ocean!

Had a bite to eat for Happy Hour here with the family. Great times! They had a good number of selections on the happy hour menu, including some delicious fried fish tacos & a spicy mango margarita. For about $65 before tip, we got 4 drinks, 3 tacos, calamari and chips, mozzarella cheese sticks, and some good service. I especially liked the mango margs because they use real jalapeño and garnish nicely. The restaurant itself is nice, big with lots of wooden things. Wood makes me feel really cozy for some reason! Felt at home here. Only thing I'd change is the calamari , which is deep fried and kinda tough. It's not the high end lightly breaded tender calamari that I was expecting. Glad there's plenty of parking and specials. Will return !

We had the most spectacular and personable service ever! Nate took such great care of us! We had a lovely seat by the water, an incredible meal, wonderful chats, and Nate's charming personality and attentiveness. We will definitely be back! Thanks, Nate! Happy New Year!

The location and views here are awesome! We sat outside and it was nice, you can eat and enjoy the marina views. I like that they have a fire pit and chairs around it so you can enjoy a nice fire at night. The food was good. I ordered the wild Salmon tacos and they were really tasty. I like the blacken seasoning on them. My boyfriend ordered the shrimp tacos, those were ok. I had a bite of his taco but I preferred my salmon tacos. The works Bloody Mary was good. It was loaded with a soft shell crab, prawn, andouille sausage, bacon, and olives. $15 for a big chalet is a pretty decent. Service was good. The staff were nice and friendly. Definitely a better spot to go to versus waiting 2 hours at Scooner than later.

We've been here before, but recently came back to celebrate my wife's birthday and had a great time! Krystal was our hostess and she was extremely warm, welcoming, and understanding when we called to say that we were running late for our reservation. We sat outside and enjoyed the great view of the bay. Dylan was our server and he was helpful, attentive, and professional. We had a great time talking to him and he did a great job balancing between checking in on us while giving us our space. We ordered fresh oysters, two Westport seafood boils/seafeasts, drinks, and dessert. The food was delicious and the restaurant comped our dessert for my wife's birthday - thanks so much for that! As a tip to others who order the boils/, I recommend getting some extra seasoning on the side for dipping as it goes great with the shellfish.God bless!
