Disappointed! Too expensive and the quality was very poor. I had the scallops which were overcooked and very dry and the broccoli was cold and it wouldn't melt butter. They need to clean up their act.

Food was ok. Not a really good selection. Ribs had way too much bbq sauce and no options for the baked potato, only butter and sour cream. Not to mention you only get one side. Paper covering table is bothersome. Leave it off and just wipe the table down.

I finally got to the crab shell after so many years for the last day of the season. It was a perfect day with all my friends. Stu was great at the bar. Lobster roll was delicious. So mad I didn't go all summer.

The food was well below par for the area. No flavor, tasteless seafood on the water?? Such a waste of a great location. Stop serving frozen seafood when fresh is a block away.

Good food, all 3 of us agreed. Not too many people there when we came in for an early dinner. Location is real good, if around in summer make your way there for sure.

Nice by the water but they really need better food/chef. It’s such a shame because the location is great. The only good food is the lobster roll.
We come all the way to the crab shell restaurant from Long Island because of your AMAZING waiter Pako. He is the absolute BEST!!! We never had a waiter like him before. He’s beyond attentive, he remembers our order, and he always greets us with a smile. He is the absolute BEST!! Thank you Pako for always making our experience five stars!

My sister and I had gone to the Sound on Sound music festival a couple weekends ago and decided to stop by on our way to the airport. It did not disappoint one bit. I had a lobster roll (which was divine) and sweet potato fries (perfectly crisp on the outside and deliciously fluffy on the inside). We shared a sautéed crab cake and some cocktail shrimp - they both absolutely slapped. So good. Highly recommend!

An exceptional dinner with a beautiful view and excellent service! What else could you ask for? I've been to the Crab Shell several times now, and every single time, the food and service have been excellent! Highly recommend if you're in the Stamford/Greenwich CT area you stop by!
