Food was good.
Staff friendly.
Seating outside was damp. Seems that the leather outer layer was dry but the sponge underneath was wet .
Lobster Burger was nice, if a little messy to eat.
Not sure I would rush to go back.
Plenty of other restaurants in the local area to try first
I am thoroughly convinced that the freshest seafood in London can be found on Broadgate Circle, in the center of the dining hub. The food at the Crab Tavern is flavorful and filling, and the entire dining experience is awesome. The restaurant design is quirky, with cartoon crabs decorating the walls next to the booth we sat in. The table was cozy and comfortable, and when our excellent server brought our food to the table, it was so uniquely presented. The chef has found a way to take seafood and plate it so it is almost a work of art.
We ordered a cold platter for the table, and it was overflowing with crab claws, tiger prawns, shrimp and a half of a lobster! The whole crab was served with rapeseed mayo right in the shell, and the crispy croutons were a great addition to balance out the succulent crab. The tender meat of the grilled whole lobster had a melt in your mouth texture that paired perfectly with garlic butter.
The entire night was one of the most pleasant dining experiences I’ve had since I’ve been in London for the last ten years. The staff was welcoming and friendly, and the service was impeccable. We enjoyed custom-crafted cocktails with our dinner, which are one of Crab Tavern’s specialties.
The whole experience was awesome, and I highly recommend Crab Tavern to anyone wondering where they should spend their time in Broadgate Circle. The seafood is not only the freshest, but the service and atmosphere add to the delicious food to make it the ultimate dining experience!
(Don't know why I didn't post this sooner!)
I went here for my 24th birthday last October and the service was amazing. They really made me feel special, gave me a free drink and a birthday cake with my hot platter.
I was convinced I could finish the platter by myself because I'm that much of a seafood lover; but I was more than happy to share with my other guests. I must say the food was seasoned to perfection! I would definitely recommend this to anyone with a great appreciation for seafood X
