Billy's Stone Crab Restaurant

We ate there last night 6/10/12...the parking lot attendant was the nicest person there. First off we got in the elevator and the smell was unpleasant. We understood it was on the water so we ignored it and went in anyway. Whata mistake! The service was poor, I think since we only had water to drink we weren't going to spend enough money and were basically ignored. I asked for all you could eat crab and was told prices started at $65.00 with NO sides! I passed and got the caramalized Mahi. The only thing caramalizedd were the onions. The fish was dry and had NO flavor. My girlfriend got the single serving of 6 crab claws and when they came out it looked like someone had beat them with a baseball bat! There was NO way to eat them without getting shell in your mouth. These too had very little flavor. Our waiter thought it was more important to set tables for unseen/not waiting guests that it was to wait our table. We ran out of water several times in spite of the fact he was setting the table right next to us. I rate this place as an overpriced novelty taking advantage of tourists lack of seafood savy. I recommend everyone to pass on this place and find a place with GOOD food! Way over priced for the quality/service/food.

Outstanding Stone Crab and Grouper; OK sides, good service, nice atmosphere on the Intercostal
