| - If you are not from or familiar with the East Coast, you may not immediately understand the appeal of Monstah Lobstah. However, since I'm from MA I am quite familiar with the red and white checkered picnic table covering that welcomed us as we walked into Monstah Lobstah last Monday. The decor is not deep cherry wood, there is no marble inlay and there are no Picasso's on the walls, but it is a cleaner example of what I've experienced back home.
The server had on a Red Sox jersey (automatic brownie points) and was friendly and well-versed about gluten intolerance. In fact, they are thinking about making a separate gluten-free menu for the restaurant very soon. LOVE IT. He told us that if we need him we should throw a ketchup bottle at him to get his attenion. Otherwise, he will leave us be to enjoy our meals. Perfect!
We got a coupon from www.restaurant.com and decided to go all out and get two Lobstah Dinners. Let me tell you, we left SATISFIED! Sure, the lobster isn't fresh out of the ocean like back home, but it was as close to Maine in Vegas that we can find for a great price. The big dinner pan (yes, I said dinner pan, like the one you use to cook a turkey or Easter ham)included a lobster, 1.5-2lbs in weight, clarified butter, lemon, and then two sides. I chose corn on the cob (obviously steamed, a little mushy and all kinds of juicy) and a baked potato complete with butter and sour cream. My boyfriend got a baked potato and onion rings which were crispy, non-greasy and had a good batter to onion ratio.The baked potato wasn't anything special but hey, who comes to a lobster joint to get a good baked potato? Especially when this dinner before the coupon cost $18.99.
The lobster. Ohhhh the lobster. Tender, juicy, sweet and oh so flavorful. It barely needed any butter it was that good. Thankfully they split the tail for you which makes eating that chunky rear that much easier. They gave us a solid metal lobster cracker that made those slightly more difficult places a little easier to open and off course the teeny fork for those hard to reach places. My boyfriend and I didn't talk to each other for a good 20 minutes until I looked up at him, butter on my new shirt and threads of luscious lobster hanging from my fingers, "I can't breathe, but I can't stop." I then proceeded to dive back into the feast of my childhood once again.
Go here, but don't go here thinking it is going to be like one of those fancy restaurants on the strip because that's not the focus of this restaurant and it doesn't have to be. If you're looking for white table cloths and crumb scrapers at the end of each course you're at the wrong place. Thankfully.
