We love ceviche but this version had really really soft, almost mushy scallops! No one was a fan of mushy scallops so we ate around them! We're not sure if this is how their scallops always are served, of if we just got a mushy order. Overall the food and service was great and we will be back!

Lots of seafood options - nothing for vegetarians or vegans here though. Kids got popcorn shrimp and a burger which they liked. My husband got the two pounds of blue crab with boiled shrimp and a side of corn on the cob, hush puppies, and roasted potatoes. He said it was OK, but the crab was a little overcooked. I got the grain bowl, with Salmon. All in all it was satisfactory, but just didn't quite hit the mark. I think it needed a little bit more in terms of seasoning. All that to say, it's a decent restaurant with pretty good food. It's beach adjacent and you don't have to walk very far if you're staying at one of the hotels on the waterfront.

2/5 I stopped by…read moreCrazy Buffet recently and left feeling pretty disappointed. The food was okay, not great, not terrible, just average buffet food. What really stood out to me was the condition of the table. The condiment tray was rusty, which honestly wasn't something I expected to see in a restaurant and made me question the overall cleanliness. The service didn't help either. Our server wasn't very friendly and seemed uninterested, which made the experience feel less welcoming. I don't mind a simple buffet if the food is decent and the place feels clean, but between the rusty condiment tray and the lackluster service, it wasn't an enjoyable visit. The food alone wasn't enough to make up for those issues. Overall, I'd rate it 2/5 stars.

I rarely write reviews, but after spending over $250 celebrating my friend's daughter's 16th…read morebirthday at Shaking Crab, I felt compelled to share our experience. From the moment we arrived, the hostess, Milk, was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional. She made us feel valued from the start, and throughout the evening she continued to provide excellent service to every table she assisted. She truly deserves recognition and a promotion. Unfortunately, our assigned server provided one of the worst dining experiences I've had. After taking our food and drink order, she returned only with our drinks and then disappeared for 15-20 minutes without checking on us. My friend's daughter's entrée arrived before our appetizers, and our appetizer--fried hard chicken wings--didn't arrive until about 20 minutes later. When we asked about the delay, the server said it was because we requested the wings to be fried hard. She then made a comment about "Black people in the kitchen cooking." Whether she intended it as a joke or not, the comment was unprofessional and made us uncomfortable. Because of the poor service and attitude, we asked if another server could assist us. While Milk continued to be wonderful, another employee with purple-blue hair was also very rude when we asked for assistance. Her attitude was dismissive and unpleasant. Later in the evening, around 11 p.m., I asked a staff member near the kitchen if they had lids for our seafood buckets. She responded "No" with an attitude. I then asked if they had to-go cups, and she said they did but claimed she was off duty. Less than 30 seconds later, she went behind the bar and began making and serving drinks, which made her response even more confusing. Shortly afterward, she began arguing with my friend at our table for no apparent reason. At that point, we asked Milk to get the manager. The manager came over, sat down with us, listened to our concerns, and apologized. He explained that he was actually off that day but had come in to help support the restaurant. We appreciated that he took the time to hear us out and said he would address the issues with his staff. The food itself was good, but good food cannot make up for poor customer service and disrespectful attitudes. We wanted this to be a memorable celebration for my friend's daughter, not an evening spent dealing with rude employees. Customer service is just as important as the food. Sadly, because of the experience we had, we will not be returning. I hope management invests in better customer service training because employees like Milk show what great hospitality should look like, while others left a very negative impression.

Now let's talk about the FOOD! I ordered the Oxtail Kare Kare, and WOW. The oxtail literally fell right off the bone -- so tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The vegetables were fresh and paired beautifully with the dish. And one of my favorite touches was that the chef makes her own homemade bagoong, which paired SO well with the Kare Kare. That extra touch really brought all the flavors together! But my absolute favorite was the Atlantic Park Sunrise! I haven't had calamansi in such a long time, and it paired surprisingly well with the Prosecco. Such a refreshing and delicious combination! Overall, I'm so happy I stopped by the new Oceanfront location. Amazing food, a welcoming atmosphere, and genuinely friendly service.
