Great food and service but the waiter made an error in saying we would get Moreton bay bugs and none came out on our combo plate.

Great food, was slightly disappointed they had no specials available, such as oysters and lobster, however great variation with the scrabs. We purchased the sandcrab special with a variety of seafood so were able to try a lot of the seafood, the mussels were especially delicious.

Fantastic food and service! The Singapore chilli crab was divine! We had the mini crab cakes for entree - beautiful with lots of crab in them and Keylime pie for dessert, another hit. We will be going back!

Pleasant staff with excellent service. Crab cakes ordinary, seared prawns average but soft shell crab excellent. Striploin quite small for a main and average. Will go back with seafood eaters and explore the crab menu as looked good on other tables

The food is first class and so is the friendly service. The prices are not low but I believe that we got good value for money. I would recommend the St James to anybody, especially foodies like ourselves. We had the Snow Crab Combo which contained Snow crab, Blue Swimmers (Sandies for Queenslanders), Red Claw and Mussels. I had the Singapore Chilli sauce which was not hot but very good. My gastronomical friend had the Citrus Beurre Blanc sauce which was very nice. A GREAT meal.

Lovely place, great vibe, yummy food. Excellent value for money and the sauces are divine!!! Wait staff share the specials and explain everything clearly whilst answering any questions. Loved the 'bib' to protect your clothes and the gloves to protect your hands. Great experience - highly recommend it!!!!

Very disappointing! The $89 crab combo, drenched in an incredibly salty, nondescript oily 'sacue' was served in a plastic bag on the table. The seafood chowder was basically a very bland potato soup consisting mostly of potatoes and carrots, with a few mussels and only a few small pieces of chopped prawns as the 'seafood'. The beer is served in warm glasses and table water is also served lukewarm. The staff were all rather bored and unhappy too. A completely over-priced and dreadfully disappointing dining experience.

St.James Crabhouse is located in a beautiful area. The resturant is smaller than we expected but that allowed for all nice, quiet atmosphere. The food was delicious and served quickly. Only negative we thought was paying $40 for 1/2 a kilo of prawns - although they tasted great. Highly recommend, we will be back again!

Delicious crab and great service. A bit pricey for some items but there is no such thing as cheap king crab. Decor is bright and friendly, think oceanside crabshack. Perfect.

Im not the biggest seafood fan but my family are, so we chose the Crabhouse for a night out when they were visiting. Definitely not the decor i was expecting for a Crabhouse, had a very young hipster feel to the place. My family LOVED the food, we got a few platters & some sides for the table and it was just enough to not be overfilling. The bibs and gloves are a welcome necessity. The place is tiny, so make sure you make a booking!

Great food. The crab was to die for. Great service. The Baltimore house sauce was less buttery than last time. I prefer the more buttery version. A cocktail menu would be a wonderful addition.

Great food. Great service. The Baltimore and Singapore chill sauces were fantastic. If you are looking for a good cooked seafood experience, then this is a place for a casual dinner without being pretentious.

Great food but most of the items on the menu were unavailable. Host was really knowledgable and very friendly. I would go back but would go on a Saturday night when they have a full menu
