| - Was excited to hear of this place from a friend. It is conveniently located along the subway line, and as the name suggests specializes in various lobster concoctions.
ATMOSPHERE:
Decor had a kind of coastal-vibe to it. Great place to grab a bite and drink during the summer months. Owner mentioned the recent renovations, and that they would be opening the doors up that adjoin to the patio in time for the warm weather - so should be open now. Place was empty when we were there, but hopefully fills up more now.
FOOD:
The bruschetta here is fantastic! Best I've had in quite a while...moist, fresh tomatoes, with just the right amount of oil. The lobster grilled cheese had me mighty excited, but was actually just OK. Although they were generous with the chunks of lobster, there was a bit too much bread and not enough cheese, so it came out really dry. Highlight of the meal was definitely the lobster poutine. There's the option to add lobster bisque (extra) instead of gravy, and it was absolutely exquisite! Poured on top of the crispy fries and chunks of lobster (again, they don't hold back with that), it was among the more unique and tasty poutines I've had.
SERVICE:
Our server was extremely attentive, and made sure to check-in on us frequently (perhaps a bit too frequently to be honest haha). We appreciated the attention to detail though, and how quickly she brought the food out. Her friendliness and willingness to chat about the history of the place was nice. A plus in my book, apparently the owners try their best to keep the restaurant as "Canadian" as possible, having most of their seafood shipped from PEI, rather than the US.
VERDICT:
If you like lobster, and a good place to eat/have a beer, this is worth a try!
