| - I walked by after buying food for my boyfriend at Golden Horse and was attracted by the lobster aroma. After dropped off the food, I decided to take my mom to try Lobster's Salute. Her and I are big lobster fans!
We ordered the following:
1) Maine Lobster Roll - $12.99
2) Hearty Warm Lobster Roll - $14.99
3) Lobster Bisque with Garlic Bread - $4.99
4) Mango Smoothie - $4.99
Prices were decent, but for the quality, it really wasn't worth - especially because we were still hungry after. It's a far way from a Buster's Cove.
Lobster was pretty bland and tasteless on both our rolls. There were nice chunks of lobster in there, but it wasn't the freshest. Same with the bun, you can tell with the hard surface.
The lobster bisque was the biggest disappointment of them all. It seems like a home recipe that needs a lot of improvement. It was too watery to be a bisque, and there were no lobster meat in there at all. I would suggest getting a big can from Diana's Seafood instead (no one would know :)
Here are my reasons for the three stars rating: 1/2 in support of small businesses, 1/2 for accepting AMEX, 1 star for clean and bright area and 1 star for quick and friendly service. Unfortunately, aside from the Mango Smoothie that my mom thoroughly enjoyed, we were both disappointed with the food overall.
Freshness is hard to upkeep if your turnover isn't high enough. And to be fair, Toronto is very sad for seafood afterall.
