    Garlic Fish
    Jacob V.

    I really enjoyed the overall atmosphere here--the music, the energy, and the general vibe made it feel like the perfect place to eat, drink, and unwind. It has a lively, grown-up feel, so while families are welcome, I'd probably recommend a different spot if you're dining with younger kids. I ordered the garlic filleted fish, and it absolutely hit the spot. It was exactly what I was craving--full of flavor and well-prepared. Pair that with beers by the bucket and some good company, and you've got the recipe for a great time. If you're looking to enjoy authentic Mexican culture through food, music, and ambiance, this place delivers. Definitely worth a visit, especially with friends.

    The food was very good, but the service was terrible; the waitress didn't speak any English and couldn't understand us well. Regarding our order we asked for shrimp ceviche made with "cured" (lime-marinated) shrimp, but she brought us cooked shrimp instead, and she couldn't explain how the shrimp was prepared. We also ordered "Costa Azul" shrimp à la carte, but she brought them with rice, beans, and salad. We left a tip because my brother was the one paying, but personally, I wouldn't have left anything; they really ought to hire staff who are more proficient in the language.

    Yesterday, I drove almost two hours from Calabasas to get there, and it was absolutely worth the drive. The restaurant served incredibly delicious food, and all the staff were so friendly and welcoming. It was exactly the kind of place I was looking for. If you love seafood, I highly recommend giving it a try!

    PULPO ZARANDEADO

    Porciones inconsistentes - requiere mejora Disfruto del Pulpo Zarandeado aquí, pero he notado varios problemas con el tamaño de las porciones y la preparación: * Cuando pido en español, la porción de pulpo parece más grande; cuando pido en inglés, es notablemente más pequeña. * El arroz y las verduras deberían servirse en porciones más grandes para acompañar adecuadamente el platillo principal. * La ensalada fría debería servirse en un envase separado para que se mantenga fría y no se caliente con el platillo principal. El precio es el mismo para todos los clientes, por lo que sería apreciado que las porciones y la preparación fueran consistentes independientemente del idioma. Espero que la administración pueda atender estos puntos para que todos los clientes reciban el mismo valor y calidad. * "Las porciones deben coincidir con el precio -- la consistencia es importante." * "La ensalada fría debe mantenerse fría -- por favor separarla." * "Todos los clientes merecen la misma calidad, independientemente del idioma." * "Pulpo, arroz y verduras deberían servirse en porciones generosas y consistentes."

    It's loud don't bring your little ones or come if you don't like banda on the weekends, it's very loud and may be uncomfortable for some little ones. I recommend adults and banda lovers, norteño or mariachi lovers. The food is fire and the menu is huge!!! I didn't see prices on the menu but our bill was decent multiple beers 3 cocktails and we all had marisco dinners. $220 plus we had then Banda on a Saturday and they sang super good. New songs and the classics that we love! 10/10

    Green burrito

    There's wide food selection. The food such as the burritos and camarón cucaracha were good. The server was attentive. I recommend putting prices on the menu.

    Beware the prices aren't on the menu, make sure to ask beforehand. Over priced for poor food quality, will not return.

    When do they have live music ? Do I have to call and reserve a table for a birthday dinner?

    They have live music after 5 pm Friday night and Saturday night. I was told mariachi plays for Sunday brunch. They take reservations for party's of 6 and more. Also the stage is really close to the tables so I might be loud for some people.

    When do they have live music? What time on the weekendz

    Friday imitador from 7pm to 9 pm Saturday norteño from 5 to 11pm

    Crab Island Seafood Boil & Sushi - Ikura Nigiri

    Crab Island Seafood Boil & Sushi

    4.4(121 reviews)

    Very delicious food, love that it's in our small town only 10 min drive…read more Sushi was 10/10 we got the Torched Salmon Kids meal was 1/2 Ramen fries and fried chicken Ramen is a 10/10 super flavorful Fries 5/10 needs some salt and crispiness Chicken 5/10 Service was great. Small restaurant but great flavors!

    Extremely Disappointing Experience at Crab IslandUnfortunately, our experience at Crab Island was…read moreone of the worst dining experiences we've ever had. This was supposed to be a special day as we were celebrating our 8th anniversary on our way to Glen Ivy Spa. We were looking forward to a nice boiling crab dinner, but the entire evening was ruined from the start. We were told we could walk in and sit anywhere, only to be told the available seating was reserved. Our server appeared very inexperienced and struggled with basic menu questions, orders, drinks, and customer service. Our sodas took about 10 minutes and were flat and overly syrupy. We were also told that if we were to order sushi, it could only be from the front page of a four page sushi menu. The seafood boil was extremely disappointing. The seasoning was overwhelmingly garlicky rather than the lemon-pepper flavor we requested. The shrimp were mushy, the crab legs were unusually small and difficult to open, and the sausage and other ingredients tasted old and overcooked. Service continued to be a major issue. We had to repeatedly ask for utensils, napkins, and crackers, but instead of getting what we asked for, we were handed scissors. The restaurant was nearly empty when we arrived, yet we were frequently ignored while the server focused on phone and new walk-in orders. We also had to beg for basic items like water and butter. The lemon pepper seasoning we asked for were a couple lemon wedges with a teaspoon of salt and pepper in a small plastic to go container. The most concerning part was the restroom situation. The women's restroom was being worked on, so my fiancé was directed to use the men's restroom, where she nearly stepped in human waste on the floor. We quietly informed the staff, who seemed to address it, but the entire situation was extremely unsanitary. At the end, we waited again for our check and discovered we had been charged $5 for a small side of butter that had taken approximately 20 minutes to arrive. When we politely questioned the charge, the situation became uncomfortable, with the owner and another employee coming out to discuss it rather than simply resolving the issue. We remained respectful throughout the entire experience because we understand what it's like to work in the service industry. Unfortunately, the food, cleanliness, service, and overall experience were simply unacceptable. We even felt sick afterward.We have never left a zero tip before, but this was the first time we genuinely felt the service warranted it. Not sure if this place changed owners, but the reviews went from good to horrible, and we are not the only ones with bad food experiences. We are still paying for it, our stomachs have been sour from the food, into the next day, which ruined our Glen Ivy spa day for our anniversary. Do your mind and body and favor a don't not go! Sadly, we cannot recommend this restaurant. For us, it was less "Crab Island" and more "Crap Island."
