The host on greeting my husband and I was very nice and welcoming. The restaurant is very grand with a lovely atmosphere. We were seated at a lovely window seat and our order was taken. The drinks arrived in a timely fashion, unfortunately however, the same could not be said for the food. Our order took at least 40minutes and no word of an explanation was offered by the serving staff. When food came it was very cold including the fries. There also was a mix up as we ask if fries came with a dish and it turned out to be rice and the server didn't attempt to address it. He simply shrugged his shoulders. Sorry No return for us and no recommendation either.

It was not that busy but their staff were not attentive and the food took forever to come. We had our food delivered to the table 45mins after the starters. Given that I am pregnant I was not impressed. The food was also luke warm suggesting that it may have been sat there for a while. I’ve been to fancy crab before and had a good experience but after this I won’t be returning.

The service was below par, bad, after the starters, there was sauce drop on the table, the waiter did not bother to clean up as he was setting the fork and spoon for the main course, I was having the chilli crab, there is no plate for me to put the shell, we have to ask for dessert menu, and no body bother to come back to ask if we want any dessert, after a while, we just ask for the bill.

Disappointed with the lobster linguine. Hardly any lobster meat (2cm worth of lobster tail which was very dry) and no claw. Premiere Seafood Plater was overpriced.

The food took so long to arrive (more than 30min). Also, waiters did not help refill water and again took too long to give us the bill. However, overall the food quality is very nice, just need to hire more waiters or give them training.

We sat downstairs near the bar area and minutes into ordering we could smell acrid cigarette smoke. The door near the back was left open and the smell was unpleasant. The waiter kindly moved us upon request. For starters, we had scallops and burrata with kind crab. Both dishes we’re delicious and would highly recommend ordering these. We had the Singapore crab for mains and it didn’t disappoint. The smell of cigarettes was quite strong towards the end of the night and I couldn’t enjoy the evening as much as I wanted to because of this.

On arrival we were told there was no crab and lobsters!! The whole point of going fancy crab was to eat crabs. A member of staff should have called us before attending to inform us about this so we could decide if we still wanted to attend the bookings. For the price we paid for the other food it did not worth the money as other places give you value for your money. Wouldn’t go back here or recommend it either

I never write reviews and actually feel bad about writing this as my first. However, the service was so MEH! They did not pay any attention to us, we had to wait half an hour for our starters to be taken away once we had finished them. Even at the start the glass of tap water took about 20 minutes. I had to walk inside and ask twice as to where the mains were, I almost cancelled the main as it had just taken so long! They could also work on being more welcoming! The food, however, was fine! But the service ruined the experience.

We had a lovely evening and staff were very friendly but just not enough of them. The starters were spot on but we both ordered the Singapore crab and it was more like a makhani curry but very tasty. Definitely would go back though as the sea food was amazing but only for lunch as not a date night type of place,

Lovely venue (used to frequent the venue when it was Black and Blue Steak house many years ago) Food was amazing as expected, love crab and there was a really good affordable lunch time menu. Some staff could have been a little bit more friendlier, chattier albeit they were not rude at all, but all round a great place to visit and eat, perfect portions, good quality wine (we had a bottle of the rosè) would definitely visit again for lunch or dinner
