Every dish was perfectly executed, the seafood is fresh, however, among the 3 small crab cakes ( each about 3-4cm diameter) 2 got a piece of sharp edged hard crab shell in it, that’s dangerous!

I had dinner with a few friends last week at the finniston branch which is a favorite between us friends. I was met with extremely unprofessional behaviour from one of the staff members today… began with her constantly chatting to the other table loudly which is fine but sitting beside our table a bit too close for comfort and resulted in the other tables receiving bad service and being neglected. The second thing which stood out was that the server took an already finished plate of food and showed the already eaten lobster to the table beside us, which personally I thought was unprofessional. Whilst collecting plates a knife fell on my friend which can happen, completely understandable, we were quite understanding but just requested for one tissue to wipe the foodstuffs off but took a pretty long time to get the tissues to the table as the server was chatting downstairs with other staff and there was no sense of courtesy, my friend didn’t even receive an apology from the staff member. Lastly the bill was just thrown and slammed on the table, with no acknowledgement or words spoken. I understand that working in a fast paced and cramped space can result in things falling, and working in the hospitality industry can have its good and bad days, I get it because Ive worked in the hospitality industry before, but I think my expectations are not unreasonable. The whole experience that crabshakk usually offers didn’t meet the mark I am very disappointed and ruined our celebratory night.

Excellent seafood prepared expertly. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Service and atmosphere were very pleasant as well.

Came here for a large family gathering. Ofcourse, got the fish and chips, the guys serving us were great. As we told them we are muslims and eat halal they were very specifc and told us all we needed to know, if the fish was beer battered, if it was cooked in seperate oil etc. The fish and chips were unreal, one of the best I've had. Atmosphere was great too. Only issue was the food took a little long to come, Apart from this everything was great

Had a really REALLY nice meal here and was absolutely blown away by the quality of food. It is a small place so if you need a table for 3+ people book in advance. All the seafood was fresh and you can tell and all comes from the west coast. Bread & Butter pudding was delicious. I shed a tear of joy with each bite! 😂

Fantastic, best fish I've ever had! Amazing save powerful flavours, a real treat. The scallops in garlic butter sauce were amazing and perfectly cooked, the lobster risotto special was bursting with flavour and the quality of the stock and preparation shone through. Nice venue, staff and music too. Have some nice drinks and alcohol free options.

Absolutely delicious seafood and lovely staff, our server Katy O was brilliant and gave us some great recommendations when we weren't sure what to get. All of the food was absolutely delicious. We had the taramasalata, the garlic scallops, the dressed crab and the anchovies, all of which were fantastic. The taramasalata was a very nice recommendation, probably wouldn't have tried it otherwise! Will definitely be coming again.

Just walked in on the off chance for a table and were lucky. Food superb, service prompt and efficient, lovely relaxed atmosphere...I would recommend.

Really really good.

Excelente ubicación. Buena comida y buen servicio. Buen ambiente. Es un sitio ideal para cenar y almorzar y no es excesivamente caro.

The place is cute, and the food was all right. I had a plate of smoked trout and salmon with a glass of Cremánt. My reservation was at 1 pm, and my table was close to the entrance. I was shocked that they scheduled a massive beverage delivery precisely at this time, during lunch break. While I had my lunch, I was in the cold because the door had to be open for the delivery man, and I had to eat while several boxes were being passed basically over my head, as the Crabshakk Finnieston is a tiny restaurant. It damaged the atmosphere for me and other guests at small tables near the bar. One Sir even removed himself from the table he had booked because being in the middle of the boxes was unpleasant. The service team clearly needs a plan improvement.

Hadn't been for years but still a great place. Service impeccable. Had my 9 year old daughter and they were very nice to her. My only gripe about the food was really my fault in only ordering 3 crabcakes rather than 6!

Been before but a great night out. We were served by Iain who was great and very attentive and the food didn't disappoint. It is a bit pricy but it is worth it.

Crabshakk is a contemporary seafood restaurant in the Finnieston district of Glasgow. It proved a very good place for lunch. The food was spot on and the service good.

Amazing food , you got to try it if you visit.. so ymmy and the staff so friendly and welcoming The place is very small

We were 5 at the restaurant today , I thought we could have very good taste of food , but crab cake are so salty , mussel some of them have smell,other dishes are excepted . We had more than 10 dishes on our table . But service we had today was not so nice , we were so uncomfortable with our server , unfriendly, not helpful, not that nice , 5 of us had same feeling from his service . I won’t go back to this restaurant again , poor service , foods just so so , why do I and my friends will go to somewhere to make us feel uncomfortable.

I didn’t actually eat here - I asked after a takeaway which they didn’t do as it happened but they referred me to a local Chippie nearby. V nice woman behind bar. Only there minutes but it looked very sophisticated - wouldn’t be out of place in Shoreditch ( London ).

Delicious but expensive and small portions (maybe that's just my American expectations). Also, the seating was uncomfortable for my mom, who is in her 70s. We had tall stools with no backs, which was not ideal for her.
