Fatty Crab:
This place looks like a roadside shack somewhere on the isle of Malaysia, and that’s just the idea. All they’re lacking is the breeze and the view of the ocean. But with a few sips of the “Crabtails” (that’s a pun on cocktails, OK?) beverage meister Dave Wondrich developed, you’ll forget all about it and think you’re in Nirvana. There’s a great mix of Malaysian-inspired food with a menu designed by celeb exec chef Zac Pelaccio, and the beer list is all Asian too. Slurp up the house special, a Tembun Kepiting, which translates to…Fatty Crab. It’s loaded with overproof rum, pineapple juice, ginger ale, bitters, and topped off with a dash of Pernod. You'll need your fatty ass rolled out of there afterwards.
i had to wait for almost one hour, we were a group of three, they had plenty of tables, for two and four people, they even split a table of four for two people in front of us....we end up leaving after complaining to the manager and getting a very arrogant response, we paid our bottle of wine and left,...yes! we had an expensive bottle of wine at the bar. no one offered a complimentary drink.....i will never go back to CRAPPY CRAP!

Beginning with pushy servers and ending with awful food, this place should be on your "not to visit" list. Forget the hype, you'll go home broke + hungry.
