The Crab Pot Bellevue

We got there around 5:30 pm on a Tuesday when the place was pretty empty, there was no line but the two of us waited for 15 minutes while the waiters and waitresses periodically turned to look at us but took no action.
Eventually one waitress walked over and seated us but after we ordered, the food took over AN HOUR and we saw people seated after us getting food before us.
The service is honestly super unsatisfying, they do not seem short staffed that day at all just no one bothered to help. The food is another huge disappointment.
I’d say it was the worst seafood broil I’ve ever had.
Literally heavy salt water boiled, overcooked seafood with power seasoning, no sauce just a whole lot of butter.
Crab was super salty, shrimp was way overcooked and hard to peel, food is flavorless and seasonings are powdery and applied unevenly.
On top of all that, there are a good portion of bad quality ingredients.
Corns are visibly black and tasted bitter, some shrimps looked disgusting and smell bad.
Cannot believe they’d serve these food while charging $120+, it is beyond disappointing and I will not recommend any friends to come here.

We had such a great time! And eating here is better than downtown apparently.
No parling issues or long wait times.
Though we did find ourselves saying "I've never spent so much on food I had to work so hard to eat." 😅 to be fair we haven't eaten out seafood very often and shelling Crab and whole shrimp takes some skill to get all the meat.
Which at $50- $80 a person you want to get all the meat. We had a view of the lake but would've liked to sit on the patio to enjoy the beautiful night more but they said they close it at 745pm.
The lake view with the ducks and sunset was perfection. The dining room was clean (which is saying a lot because every table leaves such a huge mess due to the nature of their menu.
Literal buckets of sea food dumped onto the table) and such a beautiful vibe! The service was spectacular.
I think our server was Carla and she gave us so many good tips and knew her sea food so she could actually give great recommendations which isn't always how servers are unfortunately.
She even gave tips on what to see while we're in Seattle. ** the rhubarb cake with ice cream was worth it absolutely delicious and so was the claim chowder 😋 so worth it. If you liked my review or found it to be helpful give it a thumbs up please.
👍 Thanks!

Nice antique seafood restaurant next by lake .crab cake is great .clam chowder with crab meat on top, but very salty cause fresh crab meat.
Delicious Sea bass with grill green pepper, mushrooms,onion red potatoes for main dish , cream brûlée for dessert.
Very Good service
