I was meeting an old friend to catch up and she recommended Rock Lobster. I was excited about her suggestion as I do love Lobsters.
When I arrived, the hostess informed me that it would be a 45 minute wait for a table for 2. My accompany had not arrived yet and I noticed 2 seats at the bar. I sat there while I waited and the bartender immediately offered me a drink. They also had a charging station at the bar which was very useful considering my battery was so low and I had to advise my accompany that I have arrived at the venue.
I had the Lobster Caesar and that is basically the reason I am giving it a star. It was tasty and spicy. It also comes with a Lobster tail which I did not try as it didnt look appealing and it was very small.
The hostess was able to give me a table less than the wait time which was great.
My accompany arrived and we ordered the Lobster Roll. It was nothing special at all. It tasted very bland. The roll was okay; However, it was cold. It came with their house made chips which i found too salty therfore; had a lot of leftovers.
The service was slow and most of the time our server was nowhere to be found.
When we were done, we wanted to order tequila shots however, the server took so long that we were getting annoyed and I had a train to catch.
When we asked for the bill the server was quick and even waited for us to pay the bill.
The other star was for the ambience. It was lively and played goodul music.
Would I recommend this place? I dont think so. Its a shame because i work in a 5 star hotel where guests ask me all the time for great eats in toronto and this place is definitely not one of them.
