  • I came to this restaurant many years ago and really really enjoyed it. I recently found a deal for $25 for $50 worth of food at the Lobster Trap and decided to re-visit this restaurant. We ordered the following dishes: 1) Coconut shrimps: The coconut shrimps were quite good with batter around it and lots of coconut shreds. I did however find it quite oily but because I was ordering something fried...duh - it's going to be oily. 2) Lobster meal (1 lb): The lobster was split in half and my friend and I each got a half. The dish was again quite oily but the flavour was quite good. There was freshness preserved but I've definitely had better lobster in the past. However, for $30, you get what you pay for. 3) Mussels meal: It was like any other mussels I've had before. They didn't pop out at me. They could have used bigger mussels but they didn't. Overall: FOOD: 3/5 stars - It was A-OK. Nothing was horrible tasting but nothing really popped out at me. I remember the Lobster Trap in its glorious days as a restaurant that people wanted to go to for special occasions. I now see the place filled with Groupon dealers (including myself). AMBIANCE: 1/5 stars - OK..they REALLY need TLC to come in and do a "Restaurant Makeover" rendition for this place. The seats are half broken and I was definitely sitting on a replacement cheap chair tonight. The place looks like it's going to fall apart. The washroom is 80 years old. SERVICE: 3.5/5 stars - They were initially slow to take our order but the waitress came and moved things along and our food came on time. She even gave us a $20 voucher at the end. The fact that the place is now filled with "Deal-finders" & "Groupon-ers" makes me a little skeptical as to how sustainable this place is. The fact that we got a $20 coupon afterwards made me feel a bit sorry for the place. Is it really doing this badly? Pricing wise, it's really not that bad. I've been to way more expensive seafood places but they've also served way better seafood. You basically get what you pay for. The place is definitely under-staffed and it's definitely not the waiters and waitresses faults for not being up to par with service. It's the guy up there who owns and manages the place. I hope he/she is reading these reviews. The person up there who manages needs to take into consideration: - Restaurant make-over (BIG TIME) unless he/she plans to close this business in the next couple of months - Staffing - hello, stop making your staff run around like their heads are cut off. - Quality - they really need to re-evaluate the quality of this food Unless the manager/owner wants to keep this place a Groupon Haven, they better smarten up and re-vamp this restaurant to make it look better and present better and perhaps revise their menu as well. I hope they are taking all these Yelp reviews into consideration because really, why I am I even wasting my time typing this if they're not going to be receptive to change/improvement?
