    Didn’t care for the escargot. I preferred it when it was served in the aluminum heavy tray with puff pastry. The lobster was overcooked. Asparagus was tough. Potatoes were cold. First time I have to be critical but need to do better for the price. Server was nice, needs a little more experience

    We always enjoy dinner at the River Crab. Our server Rhonda does a wonderful job and makes the evening special. She knows the menu and wine list and helps with any questions. She is always very courteous and timely when serving our meal. THANK YOU RHONDA! The manager Martha Collins and her staff do a fabulous job. And thank you to the bartender and chef and kitchen gang. This group keeps us coming back.

    Our waitress, Angie, is an outstanding waitress. She takes the time to explain everything. Whatever question you have about the menu, she can answer for you. She comes back after your meal has been delivered to check on you to make sure everything is prepared properly. The food is always excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    We loved the restaurant but prefer when Debbie is there to get attentive and great service. The new staff just isn’t as fabulous. Lastly, Drinks were notably spectacular!
