| - Mind you when I was going to FLCR it was snowing and traffic sucked! It took us almost two hours from Mississauga, I hangry, cranky and throughout the drive I keep saying to myself this better be awesome and worth the trip. So we got there, luckily I made reservation ahead of time (Highly Recommended), even with the snow this place is packed. I can only imagine what this place look like on normal weekend.
The host sat us down as soon as we arrive, our table is in the middle of the dining room so I was able to enjoy in awe the 360 degree aquarium filled with giant lobsters, king crab, fluke, etc. It's better than going to aquarium because with this one you get to pick your king crab or lobster and eat it.. LOL
The restaurant offers four different menu and it can get confusing especially when you're hangry and all you can think about is food. There's a section for a la carte menu, for patrons who don't wish to indulge king crab and/or lobster. you can also purchase the crab or lobster a la carte and be charged by the lbs. I highly recommend order from the package menu, I went with the King Crab and Lobster for four people (trust me when I say there's enough food for probably five maybe six people). The price for that is CAD$298 (ohh btw, bring cash or debit card-canadian bank only. I made the mistake of trying to use U.S.A issued debit card and the restaurant will not take it.
It's very hard for me to describe the feeling and excitement because dining here is truly a multi sensory experience. You can see, feel, touch, smell, and hear all the hustle bustle of the restaurants. The "aawww and ohhhs" from patrons when they receive the giant platter of perfectly cooked lobster and king crab.
One thing that I found really cool about this place was the fact that the waiter brought us the King Crab and Lobster that they're going to cook for us. The server will go over the weight with you and our crab happened to be under by almost 1 lb. The server offered us more lobster with double the amount so essentially we're getting 2 lbs worth of lobster.
You will need to experience this first hand to understand how amazing the food, service and the ambiance. It may seems a bit expensive but it's worth every penny, especially if you're from the U.S. By the time, you convert it back to U.S dollars you'll be saying to yourself why the hell didn't I do this sooner. It's priced just right! Plus, you can find money but memories you will need to build and create :)
So pack up your bag or not you can day trip if you leave around upstate New York and head up to Canada.
Bon Appétit !
