We've got a confirmed (!) reservation in August 2018 and were very surprised that the restaurant is currently closed! So it was a very annoying experience with the Crazy Lobster.

Crazy Lobster was a false advertisement. They were not in service, open, repaired, replaced, or available to the public. The number that was provided on the website did not work. Being from another state that was very upsetting.

DO NOT make a reservation here. The restaurant is actually closed! I bought a Groupon and made a reservation for my boyfriend's birthday during our recent trip to New Orleans only to discover accidentally on the day of my reservation that the restaurant is closed due to construction in the surrounding area. This restaurant should NOT be available to book on OpenTable right now and should at least notify people that their reservations cannot be honored.

We made a reservation through open table and drove in from Kentucky. The river walk was being redone and multiple people who held reservations for this restaurant and with signs posted all over that said “Come I’m in-we’re still open” nope they weren’t. Could you get a hold of anyone? No. Were they blocked off on open table? No. Severely disappointed.
