SCOTT'S SEAFOOD ON THE RIVER REVIEWS

First time here and I had a delightful experience! The staff was very kind and welcoming. They made sure to check up on us even those who were not our server. The food was top notch, the most flavorful fine dining I have ever had in town. They really focused on the natural flavoring of herbs! My tastebuds were extremely satisfied. Everything was cooked to perfection! Would recommend this place to take your loved one.

Very eloquent dining that overlooks the Sacramento River situated next to the Westin hotel which creates somewhat of a private dining experience. The food and the service was 10/10, highly recommended.

The happy hour is excellent all around. The drinks, the food options, the quality, the service time, it’s all great. The vibes are immaculate.

JOE'S CRAB SHACK REVIEWS

Love the air at this old Joe. Have dinner here during my business trip, had a Shrimp sample and it was really good. I didn't have that much shrimp for a dinner before, may be a group of 3-4 would be the okay too. The staffs were so nice, they asked me if I would needed anything for a couple of time. It was like a very warm and cozy restaurant, although it is a big one. Impressed by shark at the center too. Such a wonderful experience it was. Maybe I should have booked for a seat next to the window, there was the beautiful Zigurat view.

Julia was the sweetest and best server I’ve had in any restaurant in a long time. She needs a raise! Cute, fun and genuinely kind. The food was amazing and as always, I went big and ate 20% of my food. Excellent leftovers are in my future.

We are huge fans of Joe’s Crab Shack. We love the friendly staff, excellent bartenders and servers!! Mey and Brian were awesome!! And I think the next day, Alex was our bartender during happy hour!! The drinks were sooo good!! Food is always on point!!! We shall be back.

THE BOILING CRAB REVIEWS

Love going here. I noticed when it's nice, not that many people, food is on point. I went on a busy day last night and noticed sauce and food are a little plain, and service seems confused and rushed. I do recommend this place regardless because their food is still great. Their service is still welcoming, and I'll always go back it's something about the sauce and quality of food that I can't stop going.

First time here, it was fantastic! Messy and delicious at the same time. Staff was extremely friendly and happy, even though we had a 3 hour wait for a table and they were super busy ( it was Fathers Day). Definitely will he back, and often.

Location is good, good service and good food. The shrimp wasn’t soft. If you order sausage as a side, they give you a whole sausage just fyi.
