| - I've visited Rock Lobster at its Ossington location, and also the newer one on Queen West. I started both meals with the Lobster Caesar, a funky, pretty drink that's far less interesting than it appears: taste is comparable to any other caesar, but the portion was too small and it was lacking in alcohol. I had the scallops for a starter, they were fresh and yummy and tasted great with the dressing. For a main, I had the Lobster Poutine and Lobster Roll. The poutine tasted like any other, with a few bits of shaved lobster that added little flavour. The gravy was forgettable and it was too salty to be considered thoughtfully made. The lobster roll was also made with minced lobster- no big juicy chunks here. Both dishes were mediocre, though the homemade potato chip side was pretty good.
My friend had the Fish Filet sandwich. At around $5, it was a great deal and just the right portion if you're peckish but not starving.
I'd recommend Rock Lobster for a quick bite and drink. Don't expect fine dining, but for reasonably priced, moderate quality meal, it's your stop.
