The recently rebuilt Crab Cooker Restaurant and Fish Market will officially throw open its doors to welcome guests back to the landmark Newport Beach eatery at 11 a.m. on Monday.
Located at 2200 Newport Blvd., the Crab Cooker first started serving customers 70 years ago. Its former building was heavily damaged by nearby construction, so the owner, Jim Wasko, son-in-law of founder Bob Roubian (1926 – 2017), took it down and started all over again recreating it.
“We have gone to painstaking detail to preserve the look, feel and even the décor,” Wasko said in a news release issued Friday. “When we reopen return visitors will feel right at home and new visitors will feel as if they did not miss a thing.”
