Former Blue Crab Restaurant
Former Blue Crab Restaurant Information:
The 10,328 square foot, two-story former Blue Crab Restaurant is located on Driscoll's Wharf overlooking America's Cup Harbor in Point Loma. The building is extremely secluded at the southern end of Driscoll's Wharf, far from busy North Harbor Drive and surrounded by the US Naval Training Center and America's Cup Harbor. After the Blue Crab Restaurant closed in January 2002, the building was reportedly occupied by a marine supply company.
During the filming of the series, a sand volleyball court was constructed over a portion of the parking lot and a fence was installed around the perimeter of the property with "Restricted Access" signs. A security guard was posted at the main gate of the fence during the entire length of filming. The Production Designer who created the interior design of the Former Blue Crab Restaurant was Katherine Spencer. Chris Burgin served as a Design Intern under Katherine Spencer.
After the filming of the series was complete, the building's interior was repainted white in all rooms except the Washroom. The Washroom and Kitchen were the only rooms where the renovations for the filming of the series were not removed. The exterior was later painted grey to match the neighboring buildings on Driscoll?s Wharf.
The fence around the property has since been removed and the building is currently leased to Semantic Research.
