This is my favorite restaurant in the city. The best place for steamed lobster. If you expect high end, modern, fancy, trendy ambiance, this place isnt for you. The restaurant is a mom and pop style type place that tries to give the feel of being at a wharf. They display the lobsters in this big gigantic aquarium at the entrance of the restaurant.
If you want good food and down to earth wait straff and low key restaurant, this is the place to go.
I always order the 1lb and a quarter lobster. It comes with a side and they bring you garlic bread. The lobster is very fresh and price is reasonable (around $35-$40 if you don't order drinks or anything else). The waitstaff doesn't try to upsell you on apetizers, wine, or dessert.
I have had lobster at Red Lobster and it isn't comparable. I have also had lobster in Maine and cooked the Lobster fresh from T&T supermarket and by comparison, this place is very good. You won't be disappointed.
Service is ok but they are not most attentive when it gets busy. The place gets full very quickly every time I have been there. Restaurants that are not good do not usually get full and have low food turnover so you never know if what you are getting is fresh. This is a place that is always full and that people keep going back to.
I highly recommend it!!
