Crabshakk - Glasgow City

The food at this restaurant was incredibly tasty and the service was exceptional and attentive. However, I was quite surprised by the prices not including VAT, which was not displayed on the menu. This was a new experience for me and it was quite a shock when the bill arrived, especially considering the already high prices, particularly for drinks such as an £8.30 pint of beer.

I was disappointed by my recent visit to Crabshakk. The prices were high considering the average quality of the food and overall experience. To make matters worse, the restaurant did not have their signature dish, crabs, available on the day of my visit. Additionally, Crabshakk requires customers to choose from set tip percentages, limiting their ability to tip according to their satisfaction. The atmosphere was unimpressive, with crowded seating and subpar service. The food was lacking in freshness and flavor, and the portions were surprisingly small. Overall, my experience at Crabshakk was unsatisfactory. I would recommend exploring other dining options in the area that offer better value and a more enjoyable dining experience.

Food was delicious and lovely but the unpleasant surprise came with the bill they added a 20% VAT charge. Apparently the menu prices do not include VAT. Not sure about the legality of displaying menu prices without VAT and not making it clear on the menu or when you order that menu prices do not include VAT.

Visited for first time and enjoyed it. Seated upstairs but despite this service was very good.Nicely cooked food and good choice of wine.

Langoustines were very tasty. Some mussels weren’t edible but good overall. Service was great, the staff are very attentive.
