I feel im being harsh when im going to be the first to write this review on the crab pot in bellevue. Let me start off by the location, the location is nice and quant, its located near a man made lake that is made to look like a beach shore and out the back is a nice scenery of a lake that is make to mimic lake union or lake washington with a nice fountain in the distance. Overall is a nice place to go out for the summer for dinner or late spring.
I may be bias when i say the service recieved was not expected first off we were sitted very quickly, but no one picked up our service till a half our later.
second we all order the feast. For all of you who never been here before what they do is the make your seafood in a huge pot and the dump on the table which covered by a large paper covering.
The seafood feast was good but there were too many rotten mussels and/or undercooked oysters, I mention rotten mussels because there was a strong odor. I guess when you cook in a large pot its hard to cook it correctly.
the service we recieve was unprofessional because the guy messed up on the order and reciept and charged us incorrectly and then when we mention it he said he knew it and mumbled some inappropriate words. We let it go, but he gave us the wrong change in return.....
I still gave the regular 10% tip but i mention to the manager and he apologize and the waiter was to be talked with later.
If i had to rate this on service it would be unfair as i would have rated this 2 out of 5 stars and the food 3 out of 5 stars. Perhaps it was a bad day. But needless to say i will come back to see if my view has change or service changed, because the crab pot is a restaurant of a different kind.
