New restaurant in Dewey (obviously part of the Starboard Group) We had excellent service and the food was exceptional. The new building is reminiscent of the old Two Seas restaurant. You must try it, I am sure you will agree!
$$-$$$. Recommended for date night, special occasion or in the mood to crack crabs. More upscaled in ambiance and presentation of dishes compared to your regular crab house. With offerings of different price targets and options for non-seafood lovers there is always something to find but with the varying price levels options are limited.
While I enjoyed my experience with the staff and taste I felt some dishes to be intentionally overpriced in their offerings to offer that wide range of price varieties (please see scallop entree option and pictures). I left the restaurant feeling that it's still deciding if it wants to be an upscale seafood restaurant or a traditional crab house as they navigate the grey line in between.
All the food and drinks we got here were amazing! Service was great too, overall atmosphere was very cool and beachy. Only wish they had parking, but it’s worth finding a parking spot!
With Starboard opening another restaurant we had to try it out. The restaurant itself is nice and though there's TVs they're not overwhelming for a pricey want to be upscale restaurant. The upstairs bar and outdoor area are loud, so come prepared. There is a fishy smell when you walk in, but then it's called Claw. Had the Peel and Eat Shrimp which was good and the Bread and Cheese Board (not a fan of Harbison after trying it, brie would be better with this mixture). The grapefruit crush was light in the alcohol and the Bloody Claw with a side of lump crab was good but lacked any liquor vibes. The Chicken Ed was a little dry in some pieces (but coudos for keeping a Dewey icon alive and bringing that cook into your fold). The grilled whole fish of the day choices were Bronzino, Red Snapper or Stipped Bass (Sea Bass/Striper) so ordered the Red Snapper. It was presented well, cooked properly as the meat easily came off the bone and tasted good. The market price $55 though for what it was and the Spring Salad that came with it was overpriced and more of a $30-35 meal. The salad with added salmon looked okay.
