    Laughing Crab serves seafood boil in bags. I ordered 4 pounds of clams homemade juicy and extra spicy. I was excited to try Laughing Crab because the restaurant has phenomenal Google reviews and I am new to Milwaukee. I eat seafood boil all the time. I eat seafood boil at least once a week. I have tried seafood boil in Orlando, Cleveland, Columbus, Los Angeles, San Diego, New York City, Syracuse, Akron, Kent, Charlotte, and Atlanta. Depending on your location, the seafood boil will taste different. In Orlando, the seafood boil is savory and sweet. In Los Angeles, the seafood boil has a strong garlic flavor. Regardless of the different flavors, my experience is great! The average price for seafood boil varies depending on the location. In Cleveland, the price of clams ranges from $10.00-$11.00 a pound. In Los Angeles, the price of clams ranges from $10.00-$11.00 a pound. At Laughing Crab the clams are $12.00 a pound. This price is extremely inflated. The size of the seafood boil bag (pounds) and the price do not correlate. The customer service was below par. The restaurant did not have proper social distancing guidelines and rules. I watched several customers come in close contact with each other. Also, several customers entered the restaurant without face masks. This could expose and spread COVID to vulnerable populations. Still, I had hope. I thought that the food must be excellent since it cost so much and the reviews on Google are excellent. Instead of pure satisfaction, I was overwhelmed with disappointment. The sauce tasted like pure butterfat. I ordered extra spicy and my order was not spicy at all. I did not taste a mix of flavors. After forcing myself to eat it because of the price, my hands were coated in butter. The next morning, I had a stomach ache and I could still taste the excessive butter. Overall, I would not recommend the Laughing Crab because the food is below par and the price is too high.

The interior was very cozy and cute. They have a "larger" seating area next to a smaller nook-like room by the bar. The bar area, had shelves of tin fish, wine, cookbooks, and sauces that you could buy. I only got their oyster shooter and the oysters. I'm not gonna lie, I wasn't a fan of the oyster shooter but mostly because I'm not the biggest fan of bloody Mary's. The combo was very interesting to say the least. The oyster that came with the shooter was pretty big but a little grainy. The yappy hour oysters were perfect and fresh. They came with three different sauces and lemons (I think a pickled onion, a green sauce, and a red one.) Just as fast as it came out, they were gone! The food, ambiance, and service was great. Definitely will come again!

That kind of freaked me out though. I don't like cucumber, so i took the cucumber out of the sushi, and i didn't finish an egg roll because it was too chewy (not crunchy at all). That didn't seem to be a problem. I didn't try everything. I liked the noodles I got. The sushi was decent (I had the cooked sushi). They had a nice selection of desserts. My friend said she'll come back with her kids. I don't think I will. I'd rather have everything cooked fresh. The fried things I tried (gyoza and eggrolls) were too chewy, they didn't taste bad, but the texture was off. The exception was the rangoons, they were crispy. The desserts were ok. The best was the prepackaged ice cream. I'm glad i tired l tried it. It looked like the families with kids were really enjoying it. I'm sure, as a kid, I would have too.

I made a reservation for 6PM on a Wednesday evening and requested a seat for two by the window for a spectacular view. When we arrived, we had cocktails at the bar first before we decided to sit for dinner. I have to laugh because one man went to pull out a barstool for his date and the backrest came off and he was so embarrassed! I did notice some of the barstools were wobbly and uneven. Other than that, the bar experience was fine. When the hostess brought us to our table, she seated us at a large booth away from the window. When I mentioned my reservation request, which I made weeks in advance, she was able to switch it. The view we had was amazing, we could see the water and the art museum. The service was top-notch at dinner and the food was 5-stars!!! I was greeted with a beautiful, handwritten birthday card, which I truly appreciated. We ordered the tomato salad for an appetizer to share (it was fresh and light), clam chowder (which was amazing and creamy), and we both had the Filet Mignon & Crab Oscar. The entree was FABULOUS! The steak was cooked to my liking and the crab Oscar was soooo delicious! We both loved it! To end the evening, we shared a birthday dessert thanks to Harbor House and it was delicious! Despite the hiccup with the reservation seating, I had a memorable and fabulous birthday and I will continue to celebrate each year at Bartolotta's!

Ambience was cools and laid back at night, there was some soft jazz playing. Order 2 jerk salmon burgers and some wings with the "crab it your way" sauce. Flavor was on point for both. Wings were delicious and super crispy, just like I ordered. The burgers, although they were good, they were small for $18. Fries were decent, but a bit on the greasy side. Took 2 stars off because we waited 45 minutes for our food, when we were told 20 minutes, the burgers were small for the price and they charge an automatic 18% gratuity even for carry out ( I don't mind dine in). Also the girl at the front didn't seem too knowledgeable about the menu. Although I'm not a big fan of The Q, I would definitely go back for Crab It Your Way. I already know their seafood boils are bomb.
