The Ace Crab is a small and quiet restaurant that offers delicious seafood boils and excellent service. The atmosphere is not your usual noisy restaurant, making it a fun place to bring family or enjoy a first date. The staff is friendly and welcoming, contributing to a pleasant dining experience. The Ace sauce, known for its medium level of spice, is highly recommended, and the drinks are reasonably priced. The food is fresh, and items like mussels and shrimp are prepared quickly, ensuring a satisfying meal. The restaurant is family-friendly, featuring high chairs and fun decor for kids. It also has wheelchair accessibility. While some reviews mention a lack of crab portions and a less favorable experience with calamari, the overall consensus is that this hidden gem serves the best flavored boil in a clean, simple setting. Parking is available in a shared lot, though some areas may feel dimly lit.
