Crab Alley - Ocean City

I hate writing negative reviews, but at a place named Crab Alley, where most diners order crab, how do you forget to bring the brown paper to cover the table? Then later, why would one have to ASK for napkins, or a shell basket, or a mallet? All separately. Seriously? Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3

The dining room is a bit dated and dark. Parking was plentiful. During the season, the Patio will give you a nice view of Fishing Boats coming into the habor with their catches. Started with fried Clams and Cream of Crab Soup. The Clams were too chewy and the soup, although good and full of crab meat, was too runny, not what I would call a cream soup. The mains were Rockfish Fingers and a Crab Scallop Combo. The Rockfish Fingers were delicious, served with a Thai Chili Sauce. At $42, I expected more from the Combo, it was just OK. Oh, and paper plates... Unfortunately, this will not make it on our rotation of restaurants. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $30–50 Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 2
