I have been craving seafood lately and last night I could not hold it back any longer. I went to a restaurant called King Crab, the original Cy's Crab House. It is located on Halsted near the Steppenwolf theatre.It is a small little place that is filled mostly with a big U shaped bar. I decided the bar is were I would sit and pulled up a stool and ordered the crab appetizer, they were delicious. Of course after getting the crab I noticed that they had 50 cent shrimp and oysters, if you are sitting at the bar. I have to say that 50 cents for oysters is pretty good considering they were $3 at the Guiness Oyster Fest.
For the main course I went big and got the lobster. The service I thought was quick, but it might have just been because I was at the bar and not a table.
The lobster was stuffed with crab meat and topped with scallops, (I was really craving seafood), with a side of mashed potatoes.
The food was great and the service was good. I think the next time I go, I will just sit at the bar, get a beer and pop a few shrimp and oysters. I won't go as big.
