| - My parents took me and my sister here for a Christmas dinner without claiming it was going to be a Christmas dinner... and I'm glad they did!
The decor is not classy, I'd say it's very family-like. Nothing special. Reminds me of 'The Fishouse'.
I don't even know why, but I wasn't craving lobster at the LOBSTER trap so I searched the menu for something I was craving - MUSSELS. Oh lord. I fuckin' love mussels. (Recommend me a place if you know good ones please). So, my parents ordered 2 2lb lobsters and I ordered a mussel appetizer and my sister got the butterfly shrimp.
Each lobster came with a soup, salad and free garlic bread. Who the hell doesn't like garlic bread? Their bread was good but too much butter and tad too salty. The lobster bisque soup was great. It actually had chunks of lobster meat! Very creamy and thick. (I took my moms soup since I only ordered an appetizer) BUT to my suprise, the mussel appetizer was HUGE. I could not even finish it myself. Oh my god. It was honestly the best mussels I've tasted. It was the most common broth used for mussels, YES you guessed it! White wine! Simple yet oh so good. And asbolutely no need for the side of butter. They were PLUMP, JUICY, and most importantly, F-R-E-S-H. Like, you'd think they have an ocean in their parking lot or something...
Oh, I also took a few bites of my parents lobster. One had it broiled and one had it steamed. I definately liked the steamed more simply because I think by steaming your seafood it just allows the natural flavours to shine more, which it did. And as for my sisters shrimp, it wasn't anything special really. Then again, it might be because I'm not a huge shrimp fan.
I should mention that they gave took 10-15% of our bill and gave us Lobster Trap money with that. I have $15 dollars I can still use. Pretty awesome! MORE MUSSELS MORE MORE MORE!!!!
Overall: Seafood is fresh, but it's $$$! !^_^! Two thumbs up.
