Same seafood deal compare to captain boil but the sauce here is not as co distant nor flavourful. Shrimps seems to be smaller in size .
Fried calamari was descent good size & much better than most restaurants but compare to Marvin's in Montreal still not tender enough. Yet, still a 4/5.
Headline: Unacceptable Service & Insulting $3 Resolution on a $118 Order
'I spent $118 on a takeout order at Seau de Crabe, & unfortunately, the experience was a major disappointment. They completely forgot the rice-a staple for a seafood boil-& when I called to resolve it, I was offered a measly $3. For an order this expensive, that is an insulting response.
Worse, they suggested they would only give me the missing rice if I ordered through Uber next time. Expecting a customer to pay for a new delivery & service fees just to get what was already paid for is a scam. Between the mediocre food & the horrible customer service, I cannot recommend this place. I am still waiting for a proper refund for the missing items & the poor handling of this situation.'

1st time going with my daughter this evening. It was our 1st seafood boil experience. Ordered the crab mix bucket with the seau de crab sauce. Loved it. I always pass by the location saying I should try it out. Next time I will be back with the whole family. Great service also!

🥰😍
Was excited to try this place with my friend since we both love seafood. We each ordered differently seasoned platters so we could share, & the flavors were pretty good overall. The lobster was a bit overcooked, & the mussels didn't smell quite right, so we decided not to eat them.
After we placed our order & were served, the waitress never came back to check on us. When we asked to pack up the rest to go, she just dropped everything off at the table & we ended up doing it ourselves.
The food was alright, but the service definitely left something to be desired.
The Seau de Crabe in Pointe Claire has become a regular outing for our friends & family. For any seafood lovers it is the ultimate place to go to. The food is very good & the portions are very generous. The staff is very welcoming & hospitable.
Been to this location a few times, never disappoints! Seafood is fresh, the sauces are flavourful, service is attentive & friendly. One of the few places where the cravings have me coming back, which I have. If you want flavour, freshness & quality, one of the best seafood/boil experiences I've had on the island to date. Highly recommend!
