Crabshell in Stamford, CT
 

Is it just me, or are the "dock attendants" completely worthless at the Crab Shell???? They can barely catch a line and they bark orders like an Admiral. I think it's a safe bet that none of them have spent much time on a powerboat. STFU and let me back my boat in....and yeah, let me tie it up myself too because you suck at that also.

Management should drop them like they dropped my lines last week into the water.

Good help is hard to find! :(

I dont know how they train their help but if I owned a place like that and didnt know all that much I would pick a few powerboaters with some real nice boats and comp their meals and drinks to have them show the help how to properly do it, and do it right. Just my two cents

good idea

They are a bunch of A$$HOLES!!! I've spoken to mgmt about them in the past. I'm glad I am not the only one that feels that way. There is one attendant in particular that really gets on my nerves, for some reason thinks he is the man because he sits there and can tell people where to dock their boats. Last year after I docked my boat I went over to help my buddy in his 32 Skater, which by the way is not a cheap POS boat. The attendant was on on side of the dock I was on the other just to catch it in case he was a little off. The attendant yell at me to "..get off his dock...." I tried to explain to him that I was only helping and was clearly not anywhere in his way. I was so pi$$ed off that it took every once of restraint not to really let into this guy, but I didn't want to appear like "that guy" who shows up in a boat and thinks the rules don't apply, plus I'm not one to make a scene.

That place sucks!!!The bouncers are cops and stand over you like your a prisoner.Never go back

Go to Steamboat in Glen Cove instead.....

They must know your from the south shore of LI .....:evilb:

It really was not JC that the bouncers did not like. But they did stand over us like we were criminals.

But I am not from the South Shore....

I have not been there yet this year.. I always had a good time every time I went there. Never had a problem with the dock guys, but like I said have not been there yet this year.

I have not been there this year either. Was supposed to go last thurs but went to city island instead. The Sea Shore has much better food than the crab shell does..

And you know food:evilb:

I still go there a bunch, I always have a pretty good time and since the place is in my backyard it is an easy sell for me.....I just don't pay much attention to the dock attendants. I'll probably even head over there this Sunday so if anyone is interested in joining, let me know.

WOW, I think if a dock hand told me to get the heck of their dock! I would say sure after I speak with the owner!:mad: I guess its just me but I won't put up with someone being an ass when I spend money in their place!

will

We may try to hook up with you one weekend evening. This Sunday is going to be tough.

Cool, just let me know when you're heading over that way. Like I said, it's pretty easy for me to get over there, with or without my boat.

I'm heading there tonight by boat...

I haven't been to City Island in a while, takes us about 45-50 min to get there. There was some place we used to go.... The docks were kinda rickety but the food was great.... I'll be damned if I can remember the name...

Lobster box?

the docks at the Sea Shore are very Rickity to say the least. But you would not forget the food there. It is first class. They even put shrimp in there dinner salads. Very pricey place but you get what you pay for there.....

Yes I do....

Are you coming to the party this weekend in Sag Harbor?

Hey guys you should try the back porch at between the bridges in Old saybrook They have great food and are happy your there.


The blue oar up river is a good place too but pretty far up river.

I will have to check some of these places out. We ussualy just end up at claudios.

Steamboat Landing
 

Took your advice and went to Steamboat Landing yesterday. Nicer staff and avery cool location. We'll be back for sure!
