Crab at Bournemouth
We had our dinner at Crab last night.
The made our reservation online two days prior to avoid disappointment as the reviews online are very positive. We were greeted by trained and friendly staffs when we arrived and our table is all setup for us.
We ordered their specials menu which was fish soup and 1/2 lobster and hake on risotto from their normal menu. The taste of food is very nice, risotto is perfect. The fish soup is so so as I would expect there have some fish meat in the soup but no, just two-three croutons in fish and tomato soup. The taste is good but nothing outstanding. Now come to our another main, the lobster. I can say their lobster is not fresh as I can tell from the texture of the lobster meat. It is mushy, not chewy. I feed this back to the waiter and he said “i will let the manager knows” then he didn’t return to us anymore. I feel quite lucky I didn’t order their seafood platter (£115) as m their seafood is not fresh from the day. I think the manager need to review this as Crab is a seafood restaurant and freshness is the most important thing for seafood.
I think I spent the money on their service more on their food. Overall, i think this restaurant is slightly overpriced based on the quality of food.
