Like some of the other reviewers, I too came to The Lobster Trap years ago and found that my experience last night didn't compare to what I was used to. This used to be an amazing lobster restaurant! What happened?
We arrived to an empty hostess desk and had to wait a few minutes to be seated. The restaurant needs to be updated. It looks the same as it did ten years ago, only older.
Our server messed everything up. My friend and I ordered:
The muscles appetizer
One lobster combo
One lobster
2 glasses of white wine.
Price: $140 (before tip)
Thank goodness I had a $70 voiture!
What we got was:
2 lobster combos and the muscles served in an awkward order. At times we had several dishes on the table at once. BTW we were NOT there late. There was no reason to rush our meal like that.
I ended up with a lobster bisque -- which was too creamy and very skimpy on the lobster.
The lobster was tasty.
The muscles were good and fresh.
The salad was wilted and my friend got the wrong dressing.
Each time the waitress brought something erroneously, she was gone before we could tell her. This was plop food on the table service. Not "I care if you have a good meal" service. Which is fine for a $50 or less meal. Not for $140.
