We went on a Saturday at 5:00 p.m. for an early dinner and for most of the time we were the only table in the place, although there was a very brisk take-out business going.
My wife loved the Lobster Bisque. She thought the cup wouldn't be enough so she had the bowl and it was so big I had to help her finish it. I had the Cesar Salad with a Lobster tail chopped up on top. It was delicious. The lobster was incredibly fresh and tasty. We should have just stopped there but also each had the cold Lobster Roll. Really big chunks of fresh lobster that overflowed from the top of the roll. My suggestion to the owners/chefs would be to actually dig out a chunk of the bread in the roll instead of just cutting it in half so that the lobster would fill the roll for each amazing bite instead of overflowing from it.
The Cameron's ale that we had it with (a brewery in Oakville) was very nice as well.
Smoked & Cracked try to use local ingredients and businesses whenever possible which is something I like to support.
We had a couple of small butter tarts to go and we had them on the Sunday. They were gooey, sweet and the pastry was delicious unlike the cheap flaky ones from supermarket bakeries.
The total bill including tax and tip was just over $100, so it was a bargain for lobster this plentiful and fresh.
Just a note, that when we were leaving around 6:00 p.m., ALL of the tables in the place were now reserved for dinner for the rest of the night.
All in all, a great experience. To say this place is now Toronto's best lobster restaurant is an under statement.
