| - Was really psyched to try out this new rock lobster that opened so much closer to me then the one downtown. My co-worker had gone the week before and said it had been exceptional so when we were looking for a restaurant for dinner I suggested here. We arrived on a Saturday evening around 7, we were seated right away which I thought was good as it was prime dinner time.
Me and my mom both ordered the lobster cesears and my friend got the "daiquiri". Both were sub par, mine was very watery ( apparently if you get a small piece of lobster in it that means it doesn't need to taste good) and my friends was essentially a snowball with some liquor poured over top.
I ordered the lobster roll ($15), the lobster Mac and cheese ($15) to share with my mom, my friend and mom ordered the hot Maine roll ($18). Mine came out last which didn't make much since due to the fact that it was cold and the others were warm. The other people with me had to wait to eat until I received my dinner.
Once I got it, I was sorely disappointed, the lobster was limp and sooooooooo bland!! The roll it was on it had more flavour, I was so upset. My friend commented that her lobster which at least had some flavour was very chewy. The lobster mac and cheese started off good, nice and creamy, strong cheddar taste, but as I got towards the end there was a strong taste of burnt oil around the edge of pan. Our total after taxes for the three of us (3 sandwiches, Mac and cheese and 3 drinks) was $116 with tax! Ouch! It wasn't just the burnt Mac and cheese that left me with a bad taste in my mouth. This is definitely not a place I would frequent again unless forced to with a group, nor would I recommend it. Sorry rock lobster if your going to serve only lobster make sure you do it right!
