| - Date night: went to joe's crab shack with my BF for dinner after he raved about the crab steampot he'd eaten there recently. We were immediately seated at a table once the hostess learned we weren't waiting on a booth. It quickly became apparent that we would not be conversing with one another on date night where we were seated. Apart from the intermittent "line dance" known to all who frequent this place, the din in the restaurant was deafening. My BF quickly asked that we be re-seated at the bar where he knew the service was excellent from his previous experience. He got the same "crab daddy" steampot as before. I ordered the "beantown steampot" complete with 2 entire lobsters (my nirvana). To start, we both ordered their lobster bisque. It arrived semi-warm and chock full of flavor albeit a little "orangey" colored, which begged the question as to whether it was infused with cheese or ??? I was ravenous and ate most of what I ordered. So did my BF with still plenty to take home. The lobsters, with shrimp, clams and potatoes were very well- seasoned! An NBA playoff game, nailbiting, down to the wire was airing on the tv's during our dinner which, in my mind, made the experience exciting and memorable. It also made for a lively crowd. I walked out, satisfied and full to the brim. Romantics, it's probably not your place. But if you're comfortable in your relationship (i.e can wear a bib with your BF and he still desires you) and looking for a satisfying seafood evening that won't break your budget try joe's instead of red lobster.
