"Overall, it was a pleasant meal with a fantastic view of the harbor, watching boats glide by. It had been a while since my last visit to a Joe's Crab Shack. I noticed that the waitstaff, who used to dance in the aisles, didn't do so this time. I'm not sure if they still have that tradition. Nonetheless, it's still a great spot for food and drinks, especially at the waterfront location in Newport Beach. The food was delicious, and everyone in our group of nine enjoyed their meals without any complaints. The music and atmosphere can be a bit loud, but it creates a lively vibe that's perfect for groups wanting to have fun. The service was decent—not bad, but we did have to request another round of drinks after our glasses had been empty for a while. I think our waiter might have missed out on some extra tips by not being more attentive. Overall, I was satisfied and would definitely come back."
