Editorial Review for Charley's Crab – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
Whether it's an everyday meal or a once-in-a-lifetime occasion, Charley's Crab fits the bill. For nearly three decades, this seafood restaurant has been the epitome of fine dining in Detroit. The wood-paneled interior looks like a ship's hull laced with artifacts of sea voyages--and every table is worthy of the captain's company. Besides the tender lobster and fish dishes, the menu includes a selection of aged beef, lamb, veal and homemade pastas.

Charley's Crab is BACK! My favorite restauarant as a kid, it went downhill there for a while, but now it's better than ever! My date and I had such a wodnerful time the other night, and we will definately return soon. I have to give credit to our server, Paul, who was one of the best waiter's we have ever had. He was so friendly and attentive and everything was perfect! It was Wednesday Night and they have a special for Half Off EVERY bottle of wine! what a wonderful surprise and bargain that was! We were able to enjoy a wine we would not normally drink at a restaurant! I love Lobster and Paul was kind enough to deshell it for me. We really liked the special appetizer and the Chocolate Truffle Cake as Dessert. The bartender, Jen, was also very friendly and efficient when we were waiting for our table at the bar.
Pros: Half Off Bottles of WINE on Wednesdays!
Cons: The chairs are not very comfy.

Boy if you ever went to the original on Pine Lake you would appreciate how difficult it is to catch that "classic one time ambiance" but though Muer is gone this place still feels great, the food is excellent the service wonderful and Bob Seally's rag time is to die for.... no not the original ( part of a huge chain) but the chowders as good.... I'd finish off a great bottle of wine and a bucket of steamers lisening to jazz here any time ...here'e to you boss!!! Kaz
Pros: rag time, chowder, fresh fish
Cons: no lake
