The Mountain Winery<\/a> in Saratoga is offering three Sunday crab feed benefits in January and February: January 25, Feb. 1, and Feb. 8. The cost is $75 for adults, $35 for kids 3-11, and free for kids under 3. Beverages will be sold separately, and gratuity is not included. Advance ticket purchase is required; visit mountainwinery.com for details or to buy tickets.<\/p>\n

The event takes place at the winery\u2019s Historic Winery Building. For the price of admission, each person receives fresh, Half Moon Bay crab plus lots of other food: there will be a chef-attended pasta stations, garlic bread, salad, and dessert.<\/p>\n

A 2014 attendee commented on Yelp: \u201cThe buffet offered Caesar salad, coleslaw, pasta, tortellini, cold crab and seasoned hot crab\u2026everything was outstanding\u2026the crab was generously sized, which made it quite easy to enjoy ample amounts of meat with ease\u2026I must have had more crab this evening than any other time in my life combined!\u00a0 The staff was outstanding, very attentive and\u2026also very generous with the garlic bread that was being delivered to our table.\u00a0 Half dazed and in crab coma, I was faced with a lemon bar garnished with raspberry sauce dessert to finish things off.\u00a0 They also brought out steaming hot washcloths to wipe our hands and faces off with, a very nice touch to an already successful crab feast<\/em>!\u201d<\/p>\n

Each crab feed begins at 4 p.m. and ends at 8 p.m. When you buy your ticket, you can choose either a 4 p.m., 5 p.m., or 6 p.m. seating. But that doesn\u2019t mean you only have an hour to eat. For example, if you choose 4, you can stay until the end. The separate seatings and staggered arrival times are for the purpose of eliminating long lines. Parking is free during the crab feeds.<\/p>\n

During each event, there will be live music:<\/p>\n
