| - Don't let the 4-star rating fool you, this place is not a "fine dining" establishment! You come here to EAT. This is an odd place - when you walk in you are greeted by a floor to ceiling wall of tanks with huge lobster and fish. There are several large tables inside, but if you're a small group you'll be shown to their outdoor patio area for groups of 2-4. In the winter this seems ridiculous, even with the covered awning and the heaters everywhere it's quite drafty, but as soon as you start eating you warm up. Reservations are an absolute MUST, as this place gets very busy.
We ordered a few dishes, but the standouts were the Beef with mushroom, Beans & cashew (delicious!) and the LOBSTER piled high with little fishes & not too spicy.
Minus half a star because cash only. No debit or credit. And minus another half a star for rather poor suggestion by the waitress - we asked how large of a lobster 4 of us should order, along with our 4 other dishes and she recommended a 6 lb lobster! That's insane - we ended up asking for a 3.5 lb one, and were given a 4.2 lb instead (since I don't think they have anything smaller than a 4 lb lobster in their tanks). It was still huge a way too much food.
If you're sensitive to MSG, be wary, they pile it on here. I had dry mouth and trouble sleeping for 10 hours after dining here. If you plan to go out in public the following day after eating here, you may want to consider staying home instead, since you'll smell like you crawled out of a garlic pit for a day or so after eating here. They put lots of garlic in their dishes - but that's not a bad thing.
I'd come here again (and suffer the garlic and MSG consequences) simply because their lobster is absolutely amazing.
