Shaking Crab

"We have visited this restaurant for a family dinner. The food is very tasty and mouth watering. Lobster recipe is delicious and all the ingredients are perfectly balanced. The dine in area is very good and decorated well. The service is polite and quick. I will recommend this restaurant who wants to have authentic seafood."

"Tuesday night and the place was dead. Staff seemed confused as to why I even was there. Good portions and friendly staff that being said food was very middle of the road, not good but not bad. Staff, while friendly, seemed to not know the menu at all and had to continually ask the chef about anything that was ordered, while the other server just sat on his phone. Rice pudding dessert was just bad, thought for second they just brought out a bowl of milk, barely any rice at all in it and tasted like how a bowl of cereal tastes after the cereal is gone. I'm not sure why the restaurant is spreading their menu so wide, reading through it is a bit confusing so I can't imagine how the servers feel. Would probably help everyone to focus on just one concept and go from there. Also why is there a club inside of what feels like a Chili's? After reading this places Facebook reviews and the owners.... interesting interaction with one of the guests I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this place was a front for something else."

"A Hidden Gem Serving Excellent Seafood Delights! I recently had the pleasure of dining at Shaking Crab, a hidden gem tucked away in New London, CT. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a delightful dining experience. Here's my review of this fantastic restaurant. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by our server, Louna, who exuded a friendly and helpful demeanor throughout our meal. Her attentive and personable service added an extra touch to our dining experience, making us feel right at home. The star of the show, of course, was the food. We opted for a pound of Alaskan crabs and an impressive four pounds of snow crabs. The seafood was incredibly fresh, and every bite was a burst of flavor. We decided to try the signature Cajun-flavored boil, and it did not disappoint. The perfect blend of spices and seasonings added a tantalizing kick to the seafood, leaving our taste buds craving more. The restaurant's location is a bit secluded, but once discovered, it's truly a hidden gem. The cozy ambiance and tastefully decorated interior create a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Whether you're looking for a casual night out with friends or a cozy dinner for two, Shaking Crab offers a perfect setting. Overall, I highly recommend Shaking Crab to anyone visiting the New London area. The combination of exceptional food, friendly service, and a unique dining experience make it a must-visit restaurant. Whether you're a seafood lover or simply looking for a memorable culinary adventure, Shaking Crab will not disappoint. Plan your visit and prepare to be delighted by the mouthwatering flavors that await you at this hidden gem."

"You really can't complain at all about this place. The staff was wicked nice, the food was really good. Drinks were very strong and in cute mugs. They even have robots to help their staff with serving. Decor was pretty neat and themed with great information about species of crabs. 10/10. Way too pricey for what I can afford, but we hope to come back again! (Butter did go cold quickly in the boil bags making it mush up, but peel and soak while you eat and you should be good.)"
