We’ve had (it’s been at least 10 years since we’ve been to O.C.) great feasts at the raw bar in Harrisons – the sit down restaurant is also OK and has great views of the inlet.

Phillips Hotel (I’m not sure it has any connection with the not-so-good Phillips Crab house) on the Boardwalk used to have great crab dishes; Eggs Benedict with crabmeat, Crab Imperial, crab cakes, etc. 

Cheers, John
