Crab Dinner at the Old Village Post House

It’s time for our annual Crab Dinner at the Old Village Post House.

With the Atlantic in our backyard, exceptional seafood is a staple on the Old Village Post House menu. Earlier this summer we highlighted shrimp, and now we put the spotlight on our delicious crabmeat with a special Crab and Wine Dinner on Wednesday, August 22nd and Thursday, August 23rd at 6:30pm.

Chef Frank Lee and Chef Forrest Parker created a crab-tastic four course menu featuring dishes such as avocado-Alabama jumbo lump crab salad, Singapore Jonah crab and carved filet of beef with gruyere-lump crab imperial. Wine and Beverage Director Patrick Emerson has paired delightful wines with each course to highlight the flavors of the wines and the food. View Full Menu.
