Food was amazing. Not that expensive for what you're getting. A small order of mussels is huge. It feels fancy yet stuff. The atmosphere is great but it was the staff that seemed fussy read more

Heard about this place from a few locals while visiting Glasgow. It did not disappoint. We ate lunch on the patio. Great service. The food was delicious, and it was a beautiful, sunny day. read more

We came on a busy Sunday evening but we were still offered seats at the bar in the back and I'm so glad we were! The food was outstanding. Started with the small mussels and crab cakes which were perfect. The mussel broth was garlicky and buttery with a good hint of wine. Perfect to soak bread in. The small size is pretty hefty. The crab cakes are small but filling and pair nicely with the aioli. The spaghetti vongole was packed with clams, pasta cooked al dente, and an amazing lemony garlicky sauce. The scallops were perfectly seared in a delicious anchovy butter. Save room for dessert because the chocolate cake was dense and dark and delicious. Service was impeccable as well. Although the place is small it didn't feel overly cramped and had a nice warm atmosphere. read more

Lovely small restaurant to get some good seafood and wines, albeit a bit pricey. The smoked fish plate was very good and the lobster was decadently bathed in butter. The fish tomato broth was also very tasty. read more

Well known spot for seafood. We just discovered it earlier that day and walked by the resto. Couldn't make reservations so decided to try our luck by walking in. We were seated immediately, didn't have to wait. The place was packed, with only two or three two-person tables open indoors. We sat next to a couple that ordered the seafood platter. And by golly, it was enormous! It's such a good deal for 95 pounds. The crab, mussels, lobster, and all looked soooo good. We weren't that hungry that evening so decided to opt in for half dozen fresh oysters (which were delicious) and each ordered a fish from their special menu of the day. Everything was super well flavoured and seasoned. Beware of bones in the whole fish! The halibut was very meaty. A bit overcooked in one end but acceptable because of the sauce it came with. You can't find a lot of tasty vegetable dishes in Scotland but this dish has squash and broccolini that was perfectly cooked and seasoned (in other words not just smoothered with salt). I'd definitely come here regularly if I were a local! read more

Do yourself a favor and just go ahead and order the crabcakes! They were the best I've ever had. Cooked perfectly and delicious. They are small but quite filling. I also enjoyed the cod tongue stew which sounded off- putting but the ingredients sounded wonderful so I went for it. So glad I did because I would definitely order it again. read more

I give this place a 1 star because food was not horrible + waitress was nice. Sadly even though I told host that it was first time in Glasgow + that I had just arrived after taking long train ride from London, I was given a horrible table. Not only was it near register where servers gathered to talk, it was near a family with three loud kids and even louder mother. After having appetizers, I left. Given reservation details requested, staff likely knew I was traveling from California. I had other options on list. I wish I would bot have picked this place Lastly, my scallops were not evenly cooked. Lettuce from salad wilted. read more

Cool vibe, friendly and service, fresh and delicious seafood! I had oysters which were fresh that day and perfect. Next to me at the bar others had smoked fish platter and fresh scallops. All amazing! It can get busy so reservations are recommended. Highly recommended! read more

We had our eye on the spot for dinner but wasn't here long enough to make a reservation here. Lucky enough to snag a table upstairs for lunch - delicious, delightful waitress who is so friendly. Shared the chowder, bisque, fish and chips and one crab. So fresh ... we, as a group, decided the chowder and fish and chips were our favorites! The crab was cold, broken apart for the most part, and quite meaty. Make a reservation ahead of time and enjoy! read more

Ok - there - I did it! Easily a 5 star from me, absolutely no doubt about it! After searching on Yelp for somewhere truly unique and of good quality to go to dinner with my cousin, I suggested this place and it turns out he was double thumbs up having been here a number of times before. Very intimate, with a feeling of 'grande rustic (I may have just coined this, it may possibly be the name of a loaf of bread from Waitrose...I don't know...) it does kick ass sea food in a comfortable and lively setting. Popping in this Weds for dinner - we looked over the menu and had already decided what we wanted before they brought over the specials board. There were probably 10 specials - all great fishy plates with exciting sides, but for me it was all about the scallops and anchovies (with a side of french fries of course) Great wine list, the beer selection could do with being upped - only Moretti on tap and then Peroni and Bitter and Twisted in bottles (I happily went for the latter) - this went down well and finished off with a shared cheeseboard it ticked all boxes and was somewhere that was also great to have a chat and catch-up. I'd definitely recommend booking (which we did) as it was packed. I'll be back next time I'm in Glasgow! read more

Oh my Crabshakk, why did I wait 5 years between visits?! WHY?! So I first visited Crabshakk in 2009 when I first moved to Glasgow and I believe that Crabshakk wasn't long open. Before Finnieston was even cool! I returned again the following year (I think) for lunch with a visiting friend and always meant to go back again, but somehow time flew by and it ended up being ages between visits. I decided to head here for an early birthday lunch and booked by email which was super easy. We arrived for our booking and were shown upstairs - now as others have mentioned, Crabshakk is a small space and they'd done brilliantly to fit in lots of tables, but it is kind of squashy. So you might get to know your table neighbours pretty well. Upstairs the seating is pretty good though, we were in the corner and had plenty of space on the table for all the food we ordered. We ate: Scallops in anchovy butter. We actually ended up eating two portions of these due to a mix up in the kitchen. Oh what a blow! This dish is amazing - perfectly cooked scallops, swimming in luscious salty butter. Oh yum. Definitely get some fries to accompany this dish to soak up the butter. Crab cakes. I actually only tried a little bit of these as I thought they might be more cake than crab, but I was totally wrong - bursting with crab and not much filler, they were very impressive. Mackerel with wakame salad and soy. This was one of the specials of the day and was probably my favourite dish. The mackerel skin was super crispy and delightful, the salad was just perfect. I felt like I'd hopped on a plane and had been transported to Japan. I very nearly ordered a second portion, I enjoyed it that much. Spoots. Probably the only dish I didn't love. The waitress explained what we could/couldn't eat on the spoots which we really appreciated - I'd had them before, but served differently so I was a little confused. The main (?!) part of the spoot was lovely but overall, the other dishes we tried were better. Grilled langoustines. A really generous portion, really juicy and succulent. I love that they don't do too much to the seafood here, instead they let the food speak for itself. Gravalax. Served with two home made oatcakes, this was some seriously rich salmon which was just lovely. I really liked the little salad that came with it too. With a couple of drinks our bill came to just over £75 which I thought was good value for an indulgent lunch. High praise also needs to go to our exceptional waitress who was super helpful and friendly - we were never left wanting for anything and she diligently explained all the specials to us with helpful pointers and guidance. We left with massive smiles on our faces - Crabshakk is still such a wonderful place to eat at, and I'm so glad we had lunch here. Alongside Table 11 (a few doors down) they are doing some seriously good stuff with seafood and deserve some very high praise. I can't wait to go back. (Note: so what's the difference between Crabshakk and Table 11? Personally, I'd say if you're looking for a long, chilled, grazing & drinking session then Table 11 is where to head. Crabshakk is probably more suited to a starter-main-dessert kind of meal if you've got plans afterwards. I've heard that Table 11 are expanding though, so this advice might change!) read more

Very very yum. Lots of good points about this spot; 1. Giant windows to look out at the outside world while you stuff your face (and allow your smug to radiate through 2. Super friendly and smiley staff 3. Fresh fresh seafood - very simply done - excellent for real seafood lovers 4. An innovative specials menu that changes regularly which offers more complex and unusual arrangements of food I would definitely come back to Crabshakk should I return to Glasgow (which I obvs will, cos like duh, Glasgow is friggin brilliant.) read more

Crabshakk - Impressive list of specials there - Seafood Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

A group of 6 of us went for lunch here last week, I hadn't been in months and was really looking forward to it. We tried to book a table for 12.30 but were asked if we could come at noon instead as they needed the table back for another booking. We arrived and the restaurant was almost empty with just one table of two already there and were shown to a fab table on the mezzanine. Unfortunately the service from that point on, although perfectly friendly, was painfully slow...we waited for drinks...we waited to order...we waited on food. I think it was nearly 1pm before we got our starters. The food was excellent, as ever, I had the grilled langoustines to start and then the monkfish scampi. The monkfish was really good but I wasn't keen on the ketchup it was served with so asked for some garlic mayo, this arrived when I was more than half way through my main course. One member of our group had to wait that long for her main course to arrive! At £186 for lunch for 6, with no wine and only a few pints of beer on the tab, I expect a better experience than members of our group having to rush back to work nearly two hours after we arrive, not being able to stay for coffee or dessert. Still 3 stars because the food was faultless. read more

If you have high seafood standards this is the place for you! What a delicious dinner we had last week - scallops cooked in anchovies butter (they bring them to your table when the butter is still frying, wow!) and crab cakes as starters, monkish cheek scampi with fries and fish and chips as main courses - everything was excellent. Everything was absolutely spot on, i can find a fault in this wee place! Staff are really friendly and helpful and atmosphere is great! I can't wait to be back and try other dishes, just make sure you book because the restaurant is very small and always very busy. read more

I was treated to a meal here as an early birthday treat and it was a perfect meal. The restaurant itself is very small but we didn't feel too cramped or close to other diners. If possible it is better to get a seat on the mezzanine level as it gives a bit more space. The staff gave excellent service even though the restaurant was full. To start we shared a small portion of the moules mariniere and queenies in lobster butter - one of the daily specials. The mussels were some of the biggest I've had and were cooked perfectly. The queenies were divine - the lobster butter was amazing, especially mopped up with bread. To follow I had another of the daily specials - wild salmon with red pepper salsa. My boyfriend had the whole crab and we shared a portion of chips. My salmon was delicious but I can't help thinking that £19.50 was a bit excessively priced. To finish we shared the cheese board - the perfect end. read more

Sea scallops very fresh and nice gentle taste, could use a bit more spice Crab cakes were good and crab meat not watered down with bread Portions are quite small for the money Crabshak bisque wasn't very good. All in all pretty good but didn't meet the hype expectations I had from other reviews read more

I have wanted to go to Crabshakk for literally ever, but never actually made it until last Saturday and to give away the results right at the start, it was as brilliant as I thought it would be! It's not a huge restaurant, so you certainly feel close to all the other diners, but really that is the only negative, everything else about the place is an easy 5 out of 5. I have been to their sister restaurant (Table 11) before and the service and atmosphere is very similar. I would go as far as to say these two restaurants provide the friendliest and best service anywhere in Glasgow. The atmosphere is pretty laid back, but you still manage to feel like you are in a "higher end" restaurant, but without all the boring formality and excessive pricing that seems to appear in other places. They specialise in seafood and the standard menu is absolutely full of tempting dishes, but then when you arrive they pull out the specials board and It looked very much to me like that is where the real goodies reside. The options were interesting, fresh and different from what you get elsewhere and out waitress happily talked us through all of them, letting us know how they were made up in detail. So what did I have? Starters to share - Queenies, which were indulgent and so tasty. Perhaps my favourite dish of the day. We also shared a light Asian squid salad which was again really nice. For mains I actually went with the seafood chowder and bread and butter. I am a huge chowder fan and this was as good as you get anywhere. Thick, creamy and totally lovely. For dessert, Trudie M and I again shared and went with the Panna Cotta.. Panna Cotta is one of my favourite desserts and this was better than most. Really light and fluffy. It was a great sweet bite after a filling meal. All of this was accompanied by a bottle of sauvignon blanc and some water. It all came to 31 quid each, but that is actually really good value for the high level of food and service on offer. Especially when you think that 11 pounds of the 31 was on the white wine. Crabshak is definitely one not to miss if you like seafood. 5 out of 5. read more

I don't know what to say. This was probably one of the best meals I've had in all of Scotland and I get out there almost once a year. High quality local ingredients that are simply and deliciously prepared. It is also a good value as far as I am concerned for the amount of food my wife and I ate, plus a bottle of wine. So what did we eat? Scallops Oysters Crab cakes Langoustines (grilled) Everything was excellent. I'd probably go for the Scottish lobster if I hadn't had it the night before. Also the whole crabs looked excellent. My wife is from Maryland so crab cakes are in her blood and she was really impressed. The place is tiny so get there early or make a reservation. It's worth it! read more

Loved it. Great fresh food, friendly fast service, and a lovely atmosphere. Ate solely from the specials board and devoured it all. Salt and black pepper squid to start, and for main a seared brill with a sort of clapshot base and hollandaise sauce :-) Portions weren't huge, but the quality made up for it. read more

Crabshakk - Salt & Pepper Squid perfection! - Seafood Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

This is becoming an old faithful to me. No matter when I've been, during the week or weekend, the food has always been great. It's not going to be for everyone as the menu is almost exclusively fish based, but for those who do enjoy that, the quality is superb. I personally love the queen scallops with roe butter. The are sever on a sizzling skillet with lemon to add to the butter, which is excellent. They also have a great range of white wines. It's not a huge range, but I've never had a glass that doesn't compliment the fish. Quite a small place, so often not easy to get a table, but that just adds an extra dimension for me. A stand out location in Glasgow that is a real stalwart of the city's restaurant scene. read more

Crabshakk - Squid salad starter - Seafood Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

The restaurant its self is tiny and you have to be very comfortable eating close to other people. We were lucky enough to eat on the mezzanine level where it was a tiny bit more spacious, downstairs however you need to have no concerns with personal space to eat there. The vibe in the restaurant is very fish shop chic - you pass the large white Bar/ Kitchen area as you come in the door. There are lots of white tiles, reclaimed wood & little stools everywhere. The heat in the restaurant was outrageous so beware when choosing your outfit it's HOT. My biggest niggle tho with the decor was the seriously uncomfortable little metal stools. With the heat and painful chairs I was ready to head for the hills before the mains even arrived. Thankfully in spite of how uncomfortable I felt the food was incredible. A word of warning there are literally 2 non-fish dishes on the menu which for me was perfect but not so much if you are not in a fishy mood. To start with we decided to share a small plate of natural Scallops and a small plate of grilled Langoustines. Each serving was of 4, the scallops were beautiful plumb little gems. With the Langoustines I was prepared to do battle with the little suckers - snapping off heads and the like but they were cleverly presented cut in half so you just had to pop the white meat out. I went with a main from the specials board of Monkfish Cheek Scampi served with Shakk Tomato Sauce and Fries. I asked for a portion of the made in-house Garlic Mayo on the side. The portion was massive - 5 large pieces of light, flaky, tasty scampi and a pile of skinny fries which were pretty great. The mayo for me tho made the dish, it was bloody marvelous! The dessert section of the menu is not particularly appealing to my tastes, there was panna cotta, ice cream, ice cream with fresh fruits..etc. In the end I went for the made in-house chocolate cake which the waitress quite rightly described as a brownie like texture. This was served with a beautiful light and creamy banana ice cream. The cake was heavy and dense and the first few spoonfuls were like heaven, then it got really heavy and started to taste quite floury. It's a great dessert but I would maybe recommend splitting the dish with someone else. read more

Best fish meal in our entire 3 week Scotland visit, including western islands where we assumed we'd have better fish. Very warm reception and enthusiasm about our visit from SF, CA, and we booked about 4 days prior and were given the best window seat in the house. Nice wine list and just superb food- from apps to main to dessert. Do not miss it if you are in Glasgow. read more

Excellent Glasgow establishment for seafood. Best lumbar seating in all of Scotland. We were a party of 4 and tried everything, cocktails to dessert, in a lovely setting.

Just had our first meal in Crabshakk & it was absolutely fantastic. Thursdsy evening & we wandered along Argyle St. Tried The Finnieston but told no luck as not booked despite plenty of empty tables. Wandered over to Crabshakk - busy but great atmosphere; very happy to have us; two seats at end of bar. We shared crab cakes & langoustines - superb! Then half lobster & chips along with halibut, fondant potatoes, cauliflower puree & smoked bacon - divine! Lovely bottle of Garganega chardonnay. Superb all round. Will definitely go back. read more

Appearing at 6:45 on a Friday evening I was not expecting to get a seat without a reservation, however luckily for us a couple of seats at the back bar had become available - perfect timing! We were shown to our seats by a friendly waitress who took our order and ascertained we were off to see Doctor Who at the Hydro. This was great service as she knew we needed serving quickly without us having to ask. I'm not sure what I was expecting of the Club Fish Sandwich but it was actually alright to say I'm not a big fan of fish. Smoked white fish on the bottom of the sandwich with both cooked and smoked salmon on the top half, separated and enclosed in what I can beat describe as fried bread. If you're trying to diet you better avoid this! The fries that came with it were lovely, but the salad was pretty boring. I had ordered a bottle of Bitter and Twisted but it just really tasted rubbish, I'll stick to it on draught and avoid bottles in the future - especially at £3.95 for just 330ml (size not indicated on the menu) which made even Birra Moretti look like decent value! What brings this up from 3 stars is the service. If you really love seafood there's no doubt you have to visit, but I don't so I think it'll be a while till I'm back! read more

Oh my word... GREAT seafood. To begin, this place is popular, so unless you have a reservation booked in advance, be happy that you can sit at the bar. Which I did - and never had a complaint about it. It made the service incredibly responsive. When you're sitting three feet from the staff, they check on you regularly. Starter: seasoned crab meat and tiny shrimp, with clarified butter poured over top and chilled - then served with warm toast. Such a great combination of subtle flavors and texture. I'm not a fan of bitter greens, but they did the right job of cleansing my palette after I finished. Main: filet of sole with lemon, capers, and butter - the fish was so fresh that I could still taste the sweetness of the ocean. No lie. It was light and incredibly satisfying. On its own, it could have been insufficient but... It was served with Belgian-style pomme frites and the ABSOLUTE BEST HOMEMADE MAYONNAISE that I have EVER had). Seriously. It was the perfect balance of creaminess and lemony acid. Wow. What a fantastic compliment to the sole. Fish and chips have never been so elevated. I would happily recommend this place to Glaswegians and tourists alike. read more

Been meaning to try this place for so long Decided one rainy day (yeah that could be most days) to pop in for lunch on a work break. A lot smaller than I expected, asked for a table and they checked bookings and told me where I could sit. Ordered the small plate of mussels and the fish club sandwich The mussels arrived and my god - there was more in the small portion here than the large portions in other establishments, mussels where a decent size too, juicy and not shrivelled up again like other places For this reason only I will definitely be back! Club sandwich was delicious, I've no idea what the white fish was however there was also smoked salmon which gave the whole sandwich a destination fishy taste, I thought it was marvellous! There was so much food between the two dishes that the salad and fries i got with the club sandwich just got left as my belly couldn't handle it They lost a star on the sketchy service, 3 on, 4 customers and yet I had to go up and ask for my water I ordered, then sugar for the tea I ordered. This often happens when places are quiet, the team kinda turn off and have a chat with each other and don't turn back on to work mode till there are more customers Same thing happens in my place and every other read more

We hadn't booked a table, but were more than happy to grab a seat at the bar. The service was really friendly and helpful...we ummed and ahhhed over the menu, it's simple but perfectly formed. That's before the specials board appeared and we were incredibly tempted by everything! We settled for the salt and pepper squid and cockles for starters followed by langoustines and scallops in anchovy and sage butter which were absolute heaven, the scallops turn up sizzling away and are genuinely the best I've had. Looking forward to a return visit already! read more

Yowza. Finally hit this place and I am keen to go back soon. Wasn't very ambitious with my choice of main meal, but that didn't stop me sampling grub from my friends where I was pleased to have walked out trying two different types of fish! Big deal for me. Made sure to let the staff know. Tight inside, which I imagine could be nightmarish if it was packed. We went on a cold Sunday afternoon and it was nice sitting up at the bar where you can chat with the staff and see what's happening in the kitchen as it's happening. Really lively and friendly. Loads of specials daily, where the range of different dishes should keep fish fanatics happy. Should note, we hadn't had crab before (when in Rome..) and the staff were super cool giving us the run down of whats-what. Hassle free. Oh, and they do the best garlic bread I have ever tasted. Just saying. New opening hours, including later on Sunday now. GO! read more

I ate here twice on a recent visit to Glasgow because it was so awesome. My wife and I had dinner on our first night. We had scallops, mussels, and a house cured salmon gravlax. It was all excellent and very fresh. I visited on my own while my wife was at the conference she was in town for (guilty little pleasure). I had the razor clams and grilled langoustines. I totally ordered too much food! The razor clams were huge - larger than anything I've had before and were so sweet and soft. The langoustine were also delish! I wish I could have taken this restaurant home with me. Every town needs a fish eatery like this. My wife and I will defo eat here when we're back in town. read more

Seriously love Crabshakk. It's small and usually very busy but never less than perfect food and amazing service. You can book (well in advance is definitely required) or just walk in for a seat at the bar. Have the squid. Make sure you get a whole bowl to yourself! Crab cakes are also amazing. But then, everything here is amazing. Simple menu of old favourites supplemented with great specials. A really special place. read more

This restaurant just oozes effortless cool, and this is obvious from the availability of tables; book early, it's teeny tiny and always jam packed! As one might guess from the name, it does some good seafood; simple and effective, like all good things! They don't really have dishes as such, more like platters, my boyfriend recommends the scallops - just pan fried with a squeeze of lemon! - and the crab, which you can get in half or whole orders. The restaurant prides themselves on the quality of their produce, fresh from the sea, and therefore don't like to bog it down with lots of other flavours, preferring to enchance the natural ones, and boy, does it show. If you're a seafood fan, I reckon you'll be fighting for tables often along with the other regulars too. Hoh yeah. read more

Super fabulous! Last night in Glasgow before flying out, pouring rain. And we had the BEST scallops with anchovies, OMG, soak the bread the in the yumminess! Son had pasta with clams. I had crab cakes. I'm from Washington, D.C., area and these are the BEST crab cakes ever. Dessert: vanilla panna cotta with peaches was the perfect end to the meal. Lovely, friendly staff and darling small restaurant. Just inhale all those aromas, doesn't get any better than this! read more

The food is simply fantastic here!! It was our first visit & I was bowled over. We were seated upstairs in the mezzanine next to the original cornicing overlooking the bar area. We had a mishmash of specials & original menu items. The standouts for me where the special of hake with squid ink paella & red pepper salsa & the crab cakes. I could've eaten a massive portion of each. It is pricey, we were £80 for 2 courses & 2 drinks each but worth every penny!! read more

The food here is top notch. Having been a good few times now, I've yet to be disappointed in the fresh, well cooked and well presented seafood on offer. We went for a celebratory meal tonight courtesy of the other half after I landed my dream job. Suffice to say, I was already elated so the prospect of going to one of my favourite restaurants was the icing on the cake. Tonight we opted for a mixture of starters; peppered chilli squid (from the specials board), whitebait (a firm favourite of ours), and scallops in a anchovies butter. For the main I opted for scampi, which I've had before and adore. Crisp, fresh and served with an abundance of fries. Sounds hard to go wrong, right? I thought so too, until I found what can only be described as a pubic hair amongst my fries. When I alerted the waitress she seemed remorseful and offered to get more scampi cooked for me. Or even a dessert. I declined both on the basis of feeling a bit put off after the whole hair in food thing. I was quite surprised to see at the end of my meal they still charged me the £13 for the main course which I had stopped eating. When I queried the waitress on why I had been charged for my meal which had included said public hair she replied "I don't think it was that, so we'll have to agree to disagree". LIKE WHAT? What kind of service is that? I was quite taken aback to be honest and embarrassed in front of the other half (who is a stern fan of not complaining). I wasn't rude, so to get that reaction was upsetting and ruined what should have been a great meal. That being said, poor service and questionable hair accompaniment aside, I can't fault this place. Top notch food, decor and for the most part great staff. I doubt I'll be back after that off putting experience however. read more

We went to Crabshakk last Friday before going on to Clyde Auditorium to see Limmy Live! We each had two starters (it was only half 5) from the specials menu, including salt and pepper squid, crab claws, mussels and seafood chowder. It was all lovely and well be back soon to sample some mains! read more

I love seafood. So I love the Crabshakk. It is an unassuming place, always seeming to be packed, with fast service despite the high quality and imaginative menu: it has a loud but friendly atmosphere and I have noticed that I am not the only one who keeps coming back. Since I visit relatively rarely, I am going to assume that these are local regulars- a rare bird in Scotland's cuisine empires. It is a real treat for me to hit the platters, but I make sure that I am with someone who knows me well- I don't want to look like a greedy pig to a new friend, or someone whom I am trying to impress... read more

So does this place need another positive review? Great seafood, well executed, friendly staff, central location, reasonable prices. Okay, so it's not the most spacious of venues and it's so popular you need to book but these are no bad things. The answer is no, it doesn't need one but it certainly deserves one. read more

There's nothing "shack" about this place. Great modern seafood dishes at decent prices. My friend got the mussels and the fish bisque and adored both. The fish & chips weren't the absolute best I've EVER had but rank up there. Great batter. Great ambiance, though a tad cramped. I'd recommend to anyone in town. read more

I found this seafood restaurant nearby Kelvingove museum (less than 10 minutes drive), very convenient. As other reviews indicated, it's cozy and tiny, so if you prefer spacious seating, this is not for you. Staff are friendly. I went there right after 5pm on Thursday, not busy, but quite some customers. I had a half draught beer, 3 oysters and half Scottish lobster. Came with a small salad, the grilled lobster is fresh and tasty! Total bill GBP 35.75. Slightly pricy for such a small restaurant. But overall, food is good. read more
