Lobster Trap is one of those old Toronto restaurants that never changes. This is both a good and a bad thing.
The good - the food is really quite tasty. You may choose to have your lobster steamed or broiled (with breadcrumbs and butter). Both come with dipping butter on the side. The lobster is beautifully cooked - scrumptious, moist.
As it is a family owned business, my guess is the service is just as good as it was 35 years ago. Your waitress will be a member of the family, and they know the place inside and out. Very family homey feel.
The only downside for me was the decor/atmosphere. AKA the bad - the place looks like it hasn't been renovated in 35 years. As an example, they provide the same napkins that I use at home, dulling the eating out experience a bit. However, if you know this is what to expect, the lobster is worth these downers.
THE BOTTOM LINE: know you're not going to a white tablecloth place, but be rest assured the lobster is delicious.
