We encountered several significant issues during our meal:
• Excessive Noise and Service Errors: The music was so loud that our waiter could not hear us properly. This resulted in him asking for my husband’s order twice and still delivering the wrong dish (catfish instead of crab cakes).
• Poor Hospitality: When I mentioned it was our first time visiting, the waiter offered no welcome or appreciation. We felt ignored rather than valued as new customers.
• Unprofessional Staff Behavior: Throughout our meal, we observed staff members at the bar drinking alcohol, using foul language, and behaving as if they were at a private party. This environment was chaotic and highly unprofessional for a place of business.
• Quality of food: When the food finally arrived – after a long wait for the corrected crab cakes – the entire meal (including my shrimp and scallop basket) was completely unseasoned and lacked flavor.
We spent $100.00 on a dinner that was marked by errors, unprofessionalism, and poor quality. As a first-time guest, this was a discouraging experience. I would like to know how you intend to rectify this situation and what steps you are taking to ensure your staff maintains a professional environment for paying customers.
I look forward to your prompt response regarding a potential refund or resolution.
First and foremost, the service at Crafty Crab was simply terrible. Our waiter, Evan, was missing for the entire duration of our visit. We had to meet with the manager just to locate him. This lack of attention to the customer was extremely frustrating and left us feeling neglected.
To make matters worse, the food we received was cold and there were several missed and wrong orders. It was clear that there was a lack of care and attention to detail in the kitchen. Furthermore, we were never offered refills on our water or drinks. We had to request another off-duty staff member to bring us watered-down drinks that had been sitting at the bar.
When it came time to settle the bill, we were surprised to see that an automatic 18% gratuity had been added for the poor service we received. Additionally, when we inquired about a military discount, they only added a 5% discount. This lack of consideration for our dissatisfaction was disheartening.
Even the quality of the food was disappointing. We had to ask for to-go boxes for our leftover wings, which were already terrible in taste, temperature, and appearance. This was a stark contrast to my previous positive experiences at this location, and it was truly disappointing.
Adding to the disappointment was the atmosphere of the restaurant. There were numerous staff and off-duty staff members congregating at the bar, which created a sense of unprofessionalism. Additionally, there was a security personnel who constantly walked around the restaurant with his kids, which made me feel unsafe and uncomfortable.
Throughout my entire visit, there was no offer from the manager or server to discount or offer any form of compensation to make up for the poor service and food. This lack of effort to rectify the situation left me with no desire to give this location another chance.
Unless immediate changes are made to address the issues I encountered, I will not be returning to Crafty Crab in Waldorf, Maryland. It is truly disappointing to see such a decline in the quality of service and food at a place I once enjoyed.
Also, We were not comfortable with what appeared to be an ICE agent walking around in the restaurant.
