A yummy yacht on land, this sprawling, steamship-sized restaurant is known for its lively atmosphere and extensive seafood selections. Once you decide where to board -- downstairs, upstairs or in the bar and balcony section -- you'll be guaranteed safe passage through a deep ocean of fresh fish and raw bar offerings with a Southern bent. The fish menu features the finest from coast to coast, including Florida Gulf red snapper and center cut swordfish. The raw bar schools you in everything from oysters and clams on the half-shell, to shellfish and crabs. The Sunday brunch and prix-fixe menu are always popular, as are "land" items like pasta and Pescatore salad. But with such an exotic trawl of seafood, you'll be hard-pressed to voyage too far from the unique catches of the day. Because of its theme, City Crab is also a popular place for celebrations and private parties. -- Yon Motskin

My husband and I went for restaurant week and had the prefixed menu. It was truly unappealing both in flavor and presentation. The food was luke warm, the fish was burned and very dry. We could barely make out the hash potatoes; they were gray, cold, and oily. We would have done better if we microwaved a Mrs. Paul dinner. Stay Away!
