   I celebrated my birthday at the Crab House with my husband. We were running a little behind but when we arrived the staff were so welcoming and accommodating. Our reservation was at 11:00 pm and the service all around was amazing. Nathan the bar tender made awesome spicy margaritas which are my favorite. And our servers Gabriel and Alfredo were incredible. Everything came out hot and in great timing. Even though it was closing time we never felt rushed to leave or hurry up. They were attentive to us as if it was the busiest time of the night. I absolutely loved the crab linguini and Rockefeller oysters. It was just an amazing experience from the food to the ambience and ultimately the service experience. Would definitely recommend. 10/10.

   Service excellent. Seafood good. On the more expensive side though for Mexico.

   The service and the food were outstanding. The sauces for the oysters were not ideal for us, personally but everything else was epic. We had the cold seafood platter and the octopus. The octopus was some of the best I've ever had and the stone crab was so tender. I would skip dessert, though.

   Super rude staff. It was 31st of December and only the special menu is offered. I then asked for looking at the regular menu and the staff is super impatient and says you have to purchase the champagne to order the regular menu. He came back and left the champagne in front of us while providing us with the regular menu. The champagne alone cost 4000 peso. But of course the server never mentioned it except when we ask for it. Eventually Spent 500 + USD on the special menu and ate some crab cakes , raw steak ,crab legs that are baked with cheese and cheesecakes . Super memeorable experience and really made my year . Go try yourself if you are ready to be treated that way.

   We chose this because it was one of the only restaurants that had regular menu options for NYE. First off, the hostess tried to sit us in the small indoor area even though we had reserved a table outside. After arguing a bit, they placed us at a table right in front of the band / dj. After about a minute, we smelled a terrible toilet smell that never went away. We asked to be moved, assuming it was the location near the edge of the patio area. We were relocated to a more central table, but the smell was nearly as bad there. We noticed an employee walking around with a can of air freshener by her side - discreetly spraying it. The wait staff seemed to be preparing for something all night, as they moved tables and rearranged things the entire time. It was hard to relax. The food was just ok, definitely not worth the price.

   Dined here while visiting Cancun during Christmas. The restaurant sits on the water and has a nice view. Overall the food was pretty good and the service was good as well.

   Tuna empanizado no estaba crunch, lobster estaba duro, fish and chips demasiadamente caro. El resumen: muy malo sazón y el precio demasiadamente desfavorable para lo que comemos. Por eso estaba con poco movimiento. It is a pitty.

    Great service. The seafood is fresh and tasty but you will pay way more for it than at the best seafood restaurants outside of Cancun.

    Had a problem with a meal, we weren't looking for anything just letting them know it was overcooked and the manager blamed it on the server. He did give a dessert for the issue but his explanation was more of a problem then the overcooked salmon itself. Just take responsibility and be done don't explain away the fact the the food was overcooked to a fellow cook.

    For being on the water these prices are literally outrageous. The service was great but I will say anywhere ANYWHERE in that area will serve you perfect. Our bill was over $200 drinking water, we had muscle appetizers, seafood pasta and a half platter that consisted of 1/2 pound crab legs 1 lobster tail and some shrimps. After the sticker shock we enjoyed our meal atmosphere and service was perfect. We got the bill from our waiter and was told 15% gratuity was the normal and that is what we tipped. After looking at my bill translated to English we tipped 50% which made the bill over $300. I have been watching my billing statements waiting for that tip to come out but I imagine someone looked at it and decided that wasn't correct especially without us drinking any alcohol. So all in all the experience wasn't the best, the food was good but not $$$ good and the service was great but anyone working in Cancun is there to serve you very well.

    Cons: The food was horrible quality. Sent back the fried calamari and the seafood platter for two was over $200 and only had two king crab legs, some shrimp, a piece of lobster, and stone crab that was not good quality. Way over priced for bad food. Our bill was $500 for two adults and two kids!!!! The only pro was the service was great however and the drink man was awesome.

    Ok so was just in Cancun the week of 10/3 and made reservations at Crab House. Read the prior reviews and wanted to check it out myself. I was celebrating a birthday and was excited to arrive and promptly greeted by the hostess. I was led to a wonderful table with a beautiful view of the sunset. The waiter followed and introduced himself and we were off and running. Music was playing and the place was nice an lively. I liked the level of the energy in the restaurant. Looking at the menu I was guided and if there were any questions their staff had all the answers and more. We made our selections for dinner and was surprised at how great everything turned out. I had a large lobster tail (16oz) and it was the best. Oh and the drinks...yes there was a mixologist that comes around with a cart and crafts anything you want. I let him make me a drink he suggested and it was great. Overall my girlfriend and I had a wonderful time...met the head cook...the manager and other patrons. It was nice. I would say that the prices are very American and you can run into some $$$ but the quality is great. Just go and have fun and you too will be writing a wonderful review. When in Cancun I will be back at Crab House for yet another great time!!!

    Food was good. When we got there the music was a little loud. Felt like you were in a night club. When the dj was done, out came a performer. Then the music loudness was better. The server was good, but he spent more time indoors than his tables on the patio. Overall it was a nice experience and we will be back when back in Cancun.

    Nathan the mixologist is the man made us some incredible drinks. He’s from Australia and knows his stuff extremely accommodating. The food was great but for us it was all about the food. We chose to sit on the patio and it didn’t disappoint saw a beautiful sunset and got some great pictures. This is a nice shorts and shirt kind of place. Food was great we had the king crab and the coconut shrimp. Both were great and we had the calamari to start. Overall fantastic experience.

    Table side Caesar salad was delicious. Shared the 1/2 mixed seafood plate with hubby - it was fine, but not spectacular. Crab cake appetizer was very good. Kids had the Carbonara Linguini (comes with shrimp) and the Seafood Linguini (server offered tomato or Alfredo sauce - daughter chose tomato but servers came back to say chef advised Alfredo would be tastier so she switched). Both pastas were good - quite rich. Bottle of Pinot noir. Meal was $$$$ but that’s what they advertise. Was good.

    We went there with a group of 7 for my wife’s 50th birthday. Everything was absolutely perfect. The service, the view, the food, and the overall ambiance. We ordered a Caesar salad and the waiter made the dressing from scratch table side. I had the Paella which was the best I have ever had. My wife had mussels for an app and Citrus Glazed Salmon for her Entree. Both were delicious. the put on a full fledge show for her birthday presentation to include the DJ playing a birthday song. It was really nice. I highly recommend this place.

    Es un lugar normal un poco viejo con bonita vista a la laguna y servicio bueno, pero la comida nada del otro mundo bastante regular pero con los precios de lo ma caro que he visto en Cancún respecto a su competencia y que no justifican en absoluto los platillos recibidos, si vienes prepárate a gastar una pequeña fortuna en comida sosa, hay otros lugares muy caros de comida mala pero tiene show o ambiente en este lugar no hay ese valor agregado lo siento no lo recomiendo
