Excellent Food! Props to the chef. Salmon and Surf and Turf perfectly cooked. Steak was actually medium rare as requested. Friendly service. Will be back many times.

DiNardo’s has crab specials Monday through Thursday. On Mondays the deal is all-you-can-eat for $35. $36 will get you 2lb of snow crab on Wednesdays or the same amount of Dungeness crabs on Thursdays. Read more

Get your garlic crabs, it's less messy or just ask for your regular crabs cleaned and split, carb diet?? The bread rolls are to die for, F your diet!!!

Try the fried oysters... they are huge and pretty good, but pass on getting linguini instead of veggies and fries or potato.

We weren't told about any crab specials and paid $12 per what THEY called jumbos...no bigger than a medium or large anywhere else--didn't even come with coleslaw or anything 😡

Bet you didn't know they had a patio in the back. We didn't either! It's perfect if you want to get down and dirty with a pile of crabs.

To be missed. Slow service and the Foursquare "mayor" is our waiter posing in a creepy half naked photo of himself.

It's seen better days. Subpar food. Rubbery scallops and shrimp. WAY OVERPRICED. Won't make a burger for dinner. Great for a Gordon Ramsey make over. No baked potaoes as on menu. I won't be back.

Stop in for a shell-cracking, claw-sucking, crab-eating feast. Read more

Go for the Blues! Or if you prefer...King, Snow, or Dungeness.

DiNardo's is DiNoto's in my book. Below average food and on the high side based on the food quality.
Nicole SJanuary 30, 2014
I liked the food but it was overpriced.
Miles Marshall LewisJuly 7, 2013
sooo... don't believe the where magazine ad: this place is incredibly average. seek elsewhere. (service is fine though.)
Andie TaylorJune 16, 2012
Slow service and the food isn't that great for the price. And they apparently vacuum the room while you eat with the room completely full. Not the best choice of places.

Fishing lures for decorations and the best diet coke!
Suzanne OConnorSeptember 25, 2021
Place is permanently closed.

It's okay if you have the groupon, but not worth paying the full price.

Its not the service that's slow, anyone who works in a restaurant will understand, the kitchen takes forever to the point that the servers get embarrassed
Shallena EverittMarch 28, 2013
Decent service. Not is not that great.
Chris ArtusoJune 2, 2013
Okay, yes, the service is slow
Vallente RomasantaApril 8, 2012
Service is good. But the food is average. Not worth a return visit.
Glenda FoxxDecember 14, 2011
Food is nasty....and over priced for its quality!
A.J. ColianniJanuary 28, 2012
Slowest service ever. Don't bother.
