| - Lobster's Salute is a pretty new place. Been wanting to give it a try.
I ordered a Lobster Roll (regular roll) for $14.99 and upgraded to a combo for an extra $3 which came with a small side of coleslaw, fries and a soft drink.
I had it prepared 'Hot & Spicy' with medium level spice.
I'm a bit methodical in the way I eat, so I eat things in order.
I started with the coleslaw which was good. It's not something you'd dislike, but not something you'd be wowed by. With that being said, I think with slight tweaks, it could be something that could sneakily stand out.
The fries were next. Same with the coleslaw, they were your standard french fries. Though quite crispy. Just to take it to that next level, maybe some cajun? Just to give it a small kick.
Now, the Lobster Roll. I have to be a little critical because Lobster hasn't been the same for me since I went out to the east coast. And since then, lobster has never been as fresh and delicious tasting. Lobster's Salute is no exception.
I can understand paying $16+ for Lobster rolls are reasonable, but it either has to be larger amount of not as good lobster masked by seasoning or topped with melted cheese maybe baked in an oven. Or it has to be the freshest cleanest quality lobster that will make heads explode even with smaller portions. Considering that Lobster in the GTA may never be that good, ever. Going with the former, and making it a more hearty option might be a good idea.
Overall, it's good, but not $20+ good. However, I love lobster and will at least return to try some of the other menu items.
