    Went here last night, one of my coworkers was craving fish. I'm always down for fish or beter said, Seafood. I had not heard of this establishment and I'm always game to try a new spot. So Crafty Crab it was. The menu looked mouth watering...but I picked the 1/2 lbs headless shrimp and the crab meat fries. The shrimps were amazing, and the fries were alright in my opinion. Next time I rather go for the full pound of shrimp or make a combination meal. Service was helpful in guiding us through the menu, and friendly. Overall a good experience at Crafty Crab, and I'll be back for some more seafood.

    Dine In, Bib Up, Glove Up, and Dig In! It's always a Super chill, laid back feel on Friday or Saturday. The locals and the tourists enjoy great seafood, wings and drinks. I love the huge bar and the DJ always sets the mood for the weekend baby!!! It's a pretty big restaurant so the wait time has never been an issue, which is always a plus. This Crafty Crab location is a for sure try, try, try!

    The restaurant was easy to find. It has a big parking area. The restaurant was larger inside than I thought. It's a good place for groups. They do karaoke here one day of the week. It's nice inside. It is colorful and beachy inside. With many crabs all around. The menu was pretty good. I chose to build my own plate. Which means I choose the amount of heat and what I like. I was happy with my meal. They didn't have the instrument to crush the crabs. They gave me scissors and told me to use the handle. That didn't work for me. The staff was great. I found the customer service very good. We did not have to wait long for the food.

    This place is an absolute 10 out of 10, I specifically like going to this location because it's not as super busy, the servers are always checking on you, seafood boils are DELICIOUS and truly worth the price!

    First time here for lunch with my husband. CC opened about one month ago. We were greeted by a sweet hostess who took us a nice booth. Server came right over with two ice waters. Friendly and asked if we needed help or suggestions, nice! We said we're good, just going to look over the menu. Beautiful, casual, large restaurant, a big bar with the largest TV I've ever seen! Husband had the shrimp boil and I had the one lobster tail boil with potatoes. All delicious. It was two o'clock and quiet ,I'm sure it picks up for dinner, and season is coming! My couple of suggestions... Offer butter with zero garlic. Offer a chilled shrimp cocktail and shrimp that's been peeled, oh and unsweetened iced tea! We enjoyed very much and five minutes from our house, yay!

    First time here and it was above my expectations. We ordered a large bag of shrimp and three different types of crab, corn and potatoes were included. This was our first southern crab boil. The crab was sweet and succulent, and the shrimp were large and plentiful. We ordered one dish for under $50 and it was a lot of food but we finished every bite. The sauce was spicy but not hot, with tons of flavor! It was good. Ambiance and service were fine.

    Good food very happy with our visit. The cosmopolitans are delicious. Never had one before so for my first time trying a cosmo it was pretty good and the boil was even better, that lobster tail was everything we ordered the boom seasoning.

The ambiance is very upscale, welcoming, and sets the tone for a memorable visit. Joey the bartender was very professional, kind, extremely welcoming and very apologetic for the Happy Hour lounge being closed the day I visited which was bit disappointing.

As we were leaving, we met Tommy the manager, who was just as nice & gave us a tour of the dinner area which I would love to try one day. He briefly chatted with us and gave us his business card. Everything about this place was top-tier. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a classy night out with exceptional service or just a few appetizers & a cocktail.

I was impressed how the food actually was tasty and was not merely a vessel for entertainment and did well with the pairings. Ultimately family had a great time and we are looking forward to come back! I hope this place is really successful given its proximity to Boca hopefully more people will be able to come and enjoy a unique experience that we otherwise don't have in the area!

We chose to sit outside to enjoy the view. It was a little warm, but definitely worth it for the scenery. We ordered the shrimp sushi roll and the fresh catch branzino. The shrimp roll was excellent and definitely our favorite. The branzino was fresh and well prepared, though it wasn't our favorite dish of the meal. Our friends ordered the burger with fries, and they absolutely loved it. The service was friendly and attentive throughout our visit, which made the experience even better. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would definitely come back for the views, great service, and delicious food.

    We've been told that it's better to eat here in the winter because it's nicer to eat on the patio,…read moreso we will be back! We landed in Ft. Lauderdale and drove over here since we were in the area. Their fish tacos were one of their popular dishes so I opted for that and my husband got chicken cordon bleu. We also got the trout dip with pita bread but I didn't get a picture of that because we were all starving and then dessert was key lime pie and pistachio gelato. I did not expect the tacos to be so big. I also got this place mixed up with another place called the beach house so I was looking at the completely wrong menu! I took a pic for anyone looking and didn't feel like clicking 4x to get to it on their website. Back to the tacos -- the slaw was very juicy so don't forget to place your napkin! The mango salsa was not too sweet to overpower the rest of the taco and the beans and rice -- we were told was cooked in beef broth so it was very flavorful! It was way too much food to eat in one sitting (although I somehow managed to down 7/8 of that gelato it's a stomach mystery! And I don't like keylime pie so I didn't try it but the crust looked AMAZING! See ya in March! We're coming for you, patio! *side note: even though it was 94 degrees outside, they had a ton of fans blowing indoors and I was really cold. Goosebumps cold. My husband went to get my hoodie from the car and it's valet parking so he made a trek!

SOLD! I gathered my husband and son and headed off for a new experience. First off the atmosphere is very nice and peaceful. We love the colorful buildings and the views. We entered and met Sandy, the nicest yet down to earth hostess. She greeted us and walked us to tables toward the back which would accompany 3 people. This was away from the Steel Drums which was the main reason we were visiting the establishment. I mentioned I had called previously to make sure the steel drums were definitely playing tonight and we really wanted to be seated closer to watch and hear the entertainment. All the seats close to where he was were 2 top tables or the bar but my son is 12- so that was a "no." She then said we could sit at 2 tables but we couldn't move the chairs. We said that was GREAT as it was close to the music and we didn't mind sitting in a "line" as that's kinda like sitting at the bar. We were very pleased and had the nicest server who was very attentive and helpful. I think the manager was a little confused as to why Sandy sat our family like that but what she did was provide excellent customer service and helped our family have a peaceful relaxing evening. And, for that - Sandy is the best and say "Hi" to her next time you go there. She will do her best to assist you. We will be back to the Nauti-Dawg. The food was really good and very filling. Customer service was outstanding. And, the atmosphere is very relaxing. 5 stars from our family!

Fast forward to today, and it's a completely different story. Everything we ordered was outstanding. The steaks were massive, juicy, and cooked to perfection, easily some of the best I've had anywhere, and I've paid top dollar at high-end steakhouses. The Hawaiian ribeye, in particular, was incredible, tender & juicy. The wings were huge and packed with flavor, honestly some of the best wings I could ask for. They've also stepped up their starters. The new bread with honey butter is insanely good, and the avocado eggrolls with tamarind sauce are absolutely next level. I added on the crab cake which is of insane quality, big lump pieces, it's actually hard to find breading. Service was just as impressive, attentive, smooth, and genuinely welcoming. I even had the chance to speak with the manager, Dani, who explained they made a major shift away from distributors that were hurting their quality. They went back to basics, focused on what made them great in the first place, and it shows in every bite. This was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time, across any cuisine. J. Mark's is back, and better than ever.
