Crab Louie's Bistro - Monterey

Beautiful environment and friendly staff. This assessment shall apply exclusively to the oysters. You're really bad. Oysters are literally one of my top 3 foods. I eat them almost every day. I generally love all oysters. I have to wait at least a week to wipe this memory out of my culinary mind. The oysters are disgusting. They taste stale and are poorly prepared. I don't want to lie and say they were the worst? ve had, but it's definitely the second worst. It makes me depressed, just thinking about it, but I'm a survivor. The only light positive, I had no negative GI symptoms (diarrhea, etc.) Management: Please do better and simply do not serve oysters like these other people. You can do better.

Wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The oysters were tiny and tasty, as if they began to decompose.. It had a strange aftertaste and is not fresh at all. I feel disgusting after dinner, and honestly, I wouldn't eat it again if someone paid me for it. It's $48 for a dozen. Seabass was also raw inside. When they brought it back to the kitchen to cook it again, they all came up again. The owner promised free Calamari and soup for all when we inaugurated. What he really meant was 1 free portion to share. It was okay. Even if I think that, I'd still rate one star.

Read quickly: Tourist trap, not attracted by the host at the entrance. Service: The server was fine, but the lady outside was very aggressive. decided to give him an attempt from there. Food: Everything is too expensive for its quality. We tried the Halibut, the Stuffed Sea Bass, the Seafood Pasta and a dozen Blue Point Oysters. The good: The Halibut was good, like the free Calamari appetiser. The bad thing: The Stuffed Sea Bass was boiled in the middle, the pasta was underheated, and the Oysters were very small. Some of the dishes also come with rice. The rice is basically unusable, it was hard and had a strange taste. That's okay: They served a free Clam Chowder that was pretty good. The seafood that came with the seafood pasta was also quite decent. Overall, if you have a particular dish you liked from here, great as the service is still okay. But if you're here for the first time, maybe it's not a good time.

Hello everyone. I'm not trying to be biased. But from my experience of eating here. If I could leave 0 stars, I would. The lady who was outside was waving customers and said that all fish, shells and crabs are fresh from the boat. But that was all a lie, tried her special for dinner, that was Cippino and all seafood was not fresh at all! I am not an expert in fresh, but I ate enough seafood to know that it was old frozen fish and frozen seafood that they warm up for me to eat. The tomato sauce for the Cippino dish tasted sour and had a tasting. Not appetizing. The other court was lobster and steak, price at $140 or a little over. Lobster was not fresh, Steak was Blande. It was so disappointing to eat here. All I can say is that the freshest thing on her menu at night was probably her carrots and broccoli? But in order to make it better enough, our waiter and the lady who knocked down the customers outside had a middle argument during dinner. Our waiter didn't want to serve more people while they dropped more customers to come. They had a disagreement and were loud. It wasn't professional to do their guests and customers. But I don't think I'm going back because her menu and speciality was a lie. FROZEN FOOD!

Not recommend to anyone! Seafoods are not fresh, most likely frozen foods. Offered free calamari and it was just a tiny dish with like 3 pieces in it. Waiter keep saying the oysters are fresh off the boat. This is the most plain tasted oysters I ever had. It has no taste at all. If you are not looking. You probably not gonna know what you are eating. The fish in the Cioppino is also not fresh. First time I had a Cioppino that is very fishy tasted. The steak we have was medium rare and the meat is very tough. Service is ok. Magarita also tasted weird.
