Popped into Rock Lobster for brunch today. I thought they had the full menu plus a few brunchy options but they just had the small brunch menu only until 3pm. We were ok with eggs Benny, but the table next to us got up and left.
I can see how it would be disappointing if you had been there before and liked the food but could only choose from the brunch menu which is rather small, consisting of eggs Benny (with or without Lobster), steak and eggs, pancakes, shrimp Hash or a traditional bacon and eggs Brekky. They were sold out of the Steak and Eggs, but were also offering the Lobster Roll and Lobster Poutine.
We began with a Lobster Caesar each. Because what is brunch without a Caesar? This is still my pic for one if the best cocktails ever!!! Like, overwhelmingly delicious.
I ordered the Lobster Benny and my boyfriend had the regular Benny. For some reason out food took a really long time. 2 tables were served and almost done before we had ours. It wasn't a big deal until the end when we were getting a little cranky from hunger. The eggs arrived a touch overcooked. I prefer my Benny with medium yolks that run just slightly. These were almost hard. The potatoes were well seasoned without being greasy, and the bernaise sauce was delicious with the lobster, but only ok with the peameal.
I had a glass of wine and the glass smelled of beer.
I still like this place; it's fun and has a good vibe. But I think the brunch menu should be a little more representative of the fresh seafood that they offer. I could have really gone for a dozen oysters and some peel and eat shrimp with my brunch. Just a thought to increase sales...
I'll be back, but probably not for brunch.
