    I decided to go to the Shaking Crab after hearing and seeing a bunch of buzz about it. You get to choose 2 from a list of different seafood options. I went with Crab legs and Shrimp with no heads. I got the Shaking Sauce Mild which is their signature sauce it's 3 sauces combined and then you can choose how spicy you want it. The combo is served with fried rice corn and potatoes. The portion was big it was enough for 2 people. I spend about $21 and it was worth it to me! The only reason I have a 4 and not a 5 is because the service was poor.

    Definitely the best in the city thus far. I live in the Northwest side and make the 30min drive almost weekly because others do not compare. The portion size are phenomenal. The "Shaking Sauce" is not too oily and you can actually see your diced garlic and lemon pepper seasoning vividly. The flavor is bold and the seafood is always fresh. They even throw in a small serving of fried rice which pair nicely with the corn in the boil.

    Just sat down waiting for menus.

    The food is DELICIOUS! I love the crab legs and the crawfish. I will definitely be back and will tell my family/friends about this place.

    The Fountain Room is expensive, but it's excellent. It's part of the old Coke bottleworks building…read moreand the design of the restaurant is exquisite. I laughed though because the bar was playing The Muppet Show on the TV. lol The dinner menu is expensive so I went for brunch. (I believe their brunch is from 10am-2pm on Saturday and Sunday.) I ordered brisket hash (crispy potatoes, cheddar cheese, braised brisket, chimichurri, eggs, toast) and it was outstanding, although expensive at $24. My server was wonderful - just a delightful soul. The customers at the table next to me ordered chicken and waffles and their food looked amazing.

    Service was good here, although this place is definitely on the pricier side, even for lunch. We…read morewere told that without reservations there wouldn't be a table available until 9pm, so we decided to eat at the bar instead. Thankfully, there was an opening for us. The bar area itself was really nice with an elegant ambiance, comfy swivel bar seats, and a more upscale vibe. I also have to mention the restroom because it was impressive. Very clean with thoughtful extras like complimentary mouthwash, tampons, and a vanity area. Small touches like that stand out to me. I ordered the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and it was delicious. I would absolutely order it again. My husband got the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and broccolini. He said the meatloaf was okay but not the best he's ever had. I tried the broccolini though and really liked it. For drinks, I had the Wildfire Smash cocktail which I thought was good and my husband had the espresso martini, and he said it was decent. We enjoyed our experience at the bar and appreciated the friendly service. I'd definitely like to come back and experience a full dinner here sometime, noting that it's probably best to have reservations.
