This is one of the best meals I've gotten in a long time. I got the escargot for an appetizer, the…read morewalleye for a main, and the Tortino for dessert. Loved the escargot. The snails were a little chewier than I had in France, but that's to be expected. The way the little layer of puff pastry soaked up the garlic butter more than made up for it. The cheese was the icing on the cake, er, snails. The walleye was some of the best I've ever eaten. It was perfectly cooked, and a real treat. It had loads of flavor, a touch of heat and was absolutely delicious. I loved the Tortino! It wasn't a big dessert, but it didn't need to be. Big on chocolate flavor and the hazelnuts were a delightful additon.

We were truly looking for a redemptive food experience today. We've been less than pleased with…read moremany places closer to home. VT came through with flying colors today. We had the whole roasted Russian River Trout and Teriyaki beef tips. Started with the warm marinated olives. I'm very objective and have to say the trout was the most superb meal I've had this year away from home. I had to ask how they sourced the fish because I was amazed at how clean, fresh, and flavorful it was. We are both lifelong foodies and skilled cooks so the whole dish service was exciting and not commonly done. The staff were also handling a wedding on the rooftop, but service was excellent regardless. Our waitress really listened to everything we said and ensured our food was served as we preferred. I was also pleased that we're were able to move to an acceptable table away from foot traffic. I would have been bumped on repeat otherwise with the wedding guests coming down. I hope the couple and guests had a great experience as well! Forgot to congratulate them. So happy to finally give 5 stars! Keep up this tempo VT.

On a work trip and stopped in for lunch while staying nearby. The view was definitely the star of…read morethe show! Sitting by the river with that scenery made for a really nice, relaxed meal. The waitress was super friendly and helpful, and she gave some good insight when deciding what to order. The rest of the staff, not so much as a warm hello or goodbye. Definitely made me feel unappreciated as a customer. There was also an ongoing issue that the other staff were arguing about loudly for several minutes. I started with the meatballs, and they were delicious! For my main, I went with the Cajun chicken tortellini. It was good, but I was definitely hoping for more of that Cajun kick. The flavor was a little mild for what I was expecting. I finished with the key lime pie, which was sweeter than I prefer and not quite as creamy or tangy as I was hoping for. Still enjoyable. Overall, it was a laid-back experience. The food was decent, but the river view really made it worth the stop. I'd come back mainly for the scenery, especially if I had someone who wanted a meal with a view! More of a date night spot.

The River Crab is a St. Clair staple. It's a beautiful location on the St Clair River just below…read morethe mouth of the Huron and the Blue Water Bridges. The river seems to sit just beyond your table. Freighters float by and it is a site to see. (If you live here you take for granted how cool this is!) often on summer comings you can find live music either at the indoor bar (which has large group high top tables) or out on the deck a band or solo acoustic set! I have images from two different visits in this review. Managed well this restaurant has great food and good service. Been here a number of times and honestly it's usually high class for the region. On this occasion our party of three had cedar planked salmon, red snapper and shrimp, lemon scented salmon with corn salsa and black beans. We also had a wedge salad, seafood bake appetizer and cup of clam chowder. The chowder is a staple and has lots of chunks of potatoes and clams. Wedge salad is good- not in my top 5 but certainly in the top 10. Made right/ great blue cheese dressing! Personally the red snapper and shrimp was lovely. Crusted with Parmesan cheese the red snapper had a nice exterior. I had double veg and appreciated the asparagus. All the food was great the appetizer was awesome. I could have eaten about 10 more shells with that lovely seafood cheese and butter dream. So head on up or down the river and enjoy a nice night! This is situated with a hotel on property. One day I'll eat, drink, stay and update this review! Thanks as always River Crabs!

Nice little restaurant with both indoor and outdoor d covered outdoor seating. Views of the St…read more Clair River are excellent from almost any seat. In as much as Great Lakes perch was unavailable, (they had European perch) my friend and i opted for the walleye. Walleye was prepared either pan or deep fried. We both chose the pan fry option. Instead of sides, we got Manhattan Clam chowder. The chowder was flavorful and thick like it should be. My serving also had a reasonable amount of clams. My only complaint was way too many large potatoes which take up a lot of space and offer very little to the overall dish. Our walleye was very good. Our wives both ordered Buddha Bowls. My wife thought hers was "too mushy" and her meat choice of carnitas had no flavor even after trying sauce and salt. Service was excellent and attentive.

The food went downhill from there. I ordered the fried perch. I got two and a half, yes, a half, filet of perch. When I questioned it, the waitress said they weigh the fish and two and a half fillets were 4 oz. The fillets were only 2 inches Long! There is no way that two and a half fillets was 4 oz. My husband ordered the ribs, they were dry and chewy. My friend ordered the smashburger which was severely overcooked. Her husband ordered the chicken kabobs. They were the best food we received that day, but the taziki sauce was just tartar sauce. The atmosphere and view are awesome. So maybe consider going there for drinks and appetizers. Seems like the food is hit or miss. Ours was definitely a miss.

Tasted as fresh as if the chef fished them out of the water only an hour earlier. I'm from Florida and fussy about my fish tacos. I rate these as excellent.

On a separate note, we were visiting the lighthouse and asked about the restaurant and the woman at the gift shop recommended it and said the thing that she liked about the restaurant the best was every single item on the menu featured something from Michigan.

I've been there a few times now and what I observe is people eating not people enjoying a unique tasty meal with water views. I saw people eat and leave quickly without really enjoying their meal. Based on our meals, what I saw coming out of the kitchen and how fast it came out, Freighters must be serving a lot of frozen product, basically pub food. The cheese curds were the saddest, greasiest one I ever had (they were squares not curds) and hit the trash when we got home. Service was good. Not sure what the answer is. Perhaps it is just the taste of the people in the area...they like what they like. The Entrees on the menu were somewhat diverse and it looks like they are trying to upscale a little. We vacation to the thumb area often and finding good dining even good pub dining is very challenging.

If we ever find ourselves back in Sarnia, we will definitely stop in at Waggs.
