My husband and I were going to see a show last night, and were looking for someplace close to grab a quick meal prior to the show. We popped into Rock Lobster Food Co. and were pleasantly surprised. Fortunately, we were seated immediately . It was close to the door but no big deal, I actually liked being able to look outside and take stock of all my surroundings.
Our waitress was also the hostess. I think being on double duty was a little rough on her but the gentlemen, who I now believe to have been the owner, was right in the mix of things helping out.
There were obviously regulars coming in to dine, who were greeted warmly, but as a patron just coming in, we were treated with just as much warmth but without the hugs.
The atmosphere was also very comfortable and down to earth. no pretense. great vibe. great music. People were enjoying themselves all throughout. It made me happy just to be there.
As for the food, we were pleased with that as well. We ordered a lobster roll and lobster poutine. We ended up ordering another lobster roll. Partly because it was so good but partly because it might have been nice to have a little more to eat. However I believe the portions were priced appropriately.
The service was great. Our waitress took great care and was attentive. I know people were waiting for our table and even while we were finishing up our drinks, not once did she make us feel as though we were being rushed. We were very appreciative.
Thank you for a wonderful meal and experience.
