My parents came here on a date in the 70s and I bet those are the same fishing nets and conches that made their night as it did mine.
I've been here numerous times. Once I even came for a week day lunch but noticed they were closed. There were boxes and boxes of fresh flown in lobsters from the East Coast just sitting there by the door. I guess I am the only cold hearted customer who would even think to pick up a box and run to the closest boiling salted pot.
I usually come with my boyfriend he gets the broiled 2 lb lobster dinner and I the garlic prawns. Add to that 2 Lobster Bisques, coconut shrimp, and sometimes another Lobster Bisque. I capitalize the 'Lobster Bisque' because it deserves to be addressed as so.
Very delicious and the perfect amount of saltiness in the bisque. And actual chunks of lobster. Comes served hot with a smile no matter how busy they get.
Note: this is known to be a saltier soup so if you are opposed to salt.... I suggest you order something else
The coconut shrimp are medium sized and delicious but obviously they ordered it frozen and already prepped.
Did I mention the garlic bread? It's tough to control yourself when you first get there on an empty stomach. If you can't fight the extra butter and garlic then just go ahead and cram it in there. You can always doggy bag. If you order a second order of bread and not eat it, you can include that in your bag as well!
I am not a fiend of lobster like some but I do eat it. I've tried my bf's meal and the lobster is done to perfection. Still full of juice with that lobster brine flavour still intact. Great portion as well. Some times he has to take it home. I think that's why he orders the larger lobsters on the occasion. So smart is he.
We contemplated ordering the 5 pounder but really... that is just a show piece right? Wouldn't that make the lobster almost 30 years old? He should be honoured instead as a pet at the Lobster Trap. Have him in a large aquarium at the front complete with a plastic diving bell and soothing bubbles. Afterall, he lived for so long and never got caught!
The giant garlic prawns have never sold me short. They are juicy and broiled and just enough of them. It's almost like eating 10 little lobsters! Don't quote me on the 10... that was just a guess from the last time I was there.
Service is always friendly and they are rammed on Saturdays. Worth the visit for sitting in a theme restaurant that never really mean to be a themed restaurant = authenticity.
