St. James Crabhouse Bar & Grill is the younger sibling of St. James Crabhouse & Kitchen in Kangaroo Point. Although boasting a larger space than its Kangaroo Point counterpart, St. James Crabhouse in Hamilton’s Portside Wharf maintains the same high standards of service, atmosphere and fare – especially when it comes to seafood. American-style crab shack morsels are central to the offering, showcasing Australian blue swimmers, spanner crab and Alaskan king crab cooked and prepared with a range of sauces. Bolstering the menu is a selection of char-grill ribs, strip loin steaks and chicken, plus a selection of burgers, wings, crab cakes and soft-shell crab. As for the drinks, patrons can sample top-shelf wines, boutique spirits and craft beer – each selected to be complementary to the seafood spread. Don your bibs and your gloves – crab feasts are designed to be messy.
