| - Unexpectedly came here for an early dinner with a couple friends last weekend. I was really excited to try the food after seeing fellow foodies post pics on social media.
Ordered a glass of wine and a couple raw oysters to start. Since it was my first visit, i had to order the Rock Lobster Roll, which came with house-made chips and pickles. Knowing lobster rolls were generally small, I really wanted to order the Lobster Mac & Cheese as well, but this location did not have it on the menu. Just ordered a side of fries instead to go with my roll.
-Rock Lobster Roll: I enjoyed the lobster roll, which was on fresh, slightly toasted bread. Some of the lobster meat could have been handled better so that the meat was more in chunks. There were many small bits and pieces. If you have ever tried Luke's Lobster rolls in NYC, their roll and chunks of lobster meat are perfection. I don't know how the kitchen let the side of chips go out because they were obviously over-cooked (just look at the picture). I didn't bother to send it back and just ate the fries which were ok.
-Dessert: only had one option, maple syrup stick snow. I always like to try a dessert, especially if it is my first time at the restaurant so ordered it. Don't bother. Didn't enjoy it at all ($6 or $7). Only ate a small piece.
Overall, I would come back if I had a craving for a lobster roll as not many places I know in Toronto where I can get one and in a casual setting, and maybe to try some of the other items on the menu, like the lobster mac and cheese at another location or the burger. It is a very casual restaurant, the service was fine, and my friends said they did enjoy the lobster poutine and burger they ordered. I was just expecting so much more and disappointed in a few too many aspects...I have to rate it a 2.5 to 3...
