“Pretty good - but my expectations were much higher”

We had an okay meal at The Crab House. My husband's meal was wonderful but mine was barely edible. In retrospect I probably should have sent it back, but I was full before it arrived and just didn't feel like dealing with it. We had the Entertainment Plus 2 for 1 card but the waiter also offered us a 10% discount - offering to do whichever would save us more. That was nice. We had a nice table outside on a pleasant evening although it was too cloudy to enjoy the sunset. I imagine on a clearer night the sunset would be specatcular. Overall, it was a decent experience. I was the only one not satisfied with my meal and it might have been a fluke. Overall, not bad, but we'll be trying other restaurants next year.

We were underwhelmed. The food was good and you got a lot of it but it was lacking something. Not sure. We probably will not go back.

We ate here on our last day in Cancun and the food was pretty good. We had the Calamare which was pretty good, crab house chowder which tasted a little blan, main course was pasta linguini with seafood was pretty good and a seafood paella which wasn't that great, 1 sol beer and 1 pina colada. The bill came out to 685.00 in peso and we had a $15.00 USD coupon, (make sure you print out the coupon on there web site). which made the total bill to 475.00 peso and then they added there tip onto the bill, making it a grand total of 546.25 peso, came out to $40.00 USD. Will be back...

The place is expensive compared to some of the local fair. The food was tasty, but later that evening we got ill. May have been from some other place or food, we don't know, but we won't go back if we visit Cancun again.

The food was good, but not spectacular. It was definitely for tourist, and therefore it was pricey, especially the drinks. The view on the patio was nice and the service was great. Actually the portions were large...the seafood combo for 2 was very filling.
