If I wasn't renewing my vehicle registration at the Service Ontario next door, I would not have stumbled upon this new restaurant. Specializing in lobster rolls, lobster bisque, and lobster salad, the restaurant is still in their soft opening phase. The owner tells me that the lobster roll recipe is based on the recipe from Luke's Lobster which is famous for their delicious lobster rolls. Lobster is sourced from Canada (yay!).
I ordered their classic cool lobster roll in the taster size ($7.99 vs $14.99 for the regular size lobster roll), plus lobster bisque. The taster size lobster roll was served in a Dempster split top bun with chunks of cold lobster meat served with warm butter on top. Unlike some lobster rolls, I appreciate the use of fresh lobster meat and the omission of fillers like celery or mayo that take away from the sweetness of the lobster.
The bisque was creamy and had a good amount of lobster flavour but also clearly contained some tomato paste based on the colour of the bisque. As it is still their soft opening, the owner was receptive to feedback (such as suggestions to omit lemon juice from the garlic bread, which left a disarmingly sour taste in my mouth).
It's worth checking out this small restaurant at least once if you're into lobster meat. The restaurant itself is small but nicely decorated. As one would expect, lobster comes at a price but arguably a price reasonably paid for freshness.
