I came out for an early dinner on a Friday with my mother and sister. We were seated quickly. Our sever Tom was personable and pleasant. He had excellent suggestions and really made our dining experience special. The food was amazing, of course. The preparation and presentation are always next level. We love the soup 1-1-1 so we can try each of their delicious soups. Even the salad dressing, which is made in-house, is delectable. We finished the meal with a banana cream pie, recommended by our server, which is not to be missed. You don’t leave hungry, but you do leave looking forward to your next visit.

Walking into The Crab Trap for a birthday dinner and immediately dealing with that wall of restaurant noise where you’re half talking and half lip reading across the table. The music was a little louder than it needed to be, so we were leaning in just to hear each other most of the night. That said, the place really delivered where it matters. Service was excellent. Our server stayed on top of drinks, checked in at the right times, and everything moved along smoothly without feeling rushed.

You can trap me at this fabulous restaurant any time! Had a family event on a Saturday so had a preview the night before. The menu says Jersey scallops. The best, period. They didn't lie. Cooked to tender perfection, bathing in butter. Plenty to eat with a baked potato and veggies. The crusted halibut, huge and boy, do they know how to cook fish! Flaky, tender, yet a nice exterior crust. The admiral sautee had everything you could want, shrimp, scallops, and lump crab galore! And, the next day, same! Delicious!!

Fresh, perfectly cooked seafood and excellent service. The lobster tail was tender, the scallops were seared just right, and everything was well-seasoned. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be back!

We hosted a corporate happy hour followed by dinner at The Crab Trap, and Anthony was truly exceptional. He was caring, attentive, and consistently focused on the details that made our experience memorable. His food and drink recommendations were spot on, and everyone in our group loved what they ordered. Even with a packed restaurant, Anthony managed everything smoothly and efficiently. He worked seamlessly with his team, anticipated our needs, and ensured we had a great time from start to finish. Outstanding service, we’ll definitely be back!
