Meal: dinner
My thoughts:
I was here with a friend to celebrate his birthday. Although the neighbourhood is upscale, this venue is quite casual, but my friend was still very happy with the experience.
I should mention that I have been here a few times (this was his first), so I already knew what the restaurant's specialties are. Every meal comes with complimentary home-style garlic bread, which is very garlic-y and buttery (i.e. delicious, in my books). I ordered a lobster bisque for each of us, and a broiled lobster for him and a steamed lobster for myself. The lobster bisque is nothing short of to-die-for, with its rich and creamy soup base and generous-sized chunks of fresh lobster. It is served piping hot (which isn't always the case with many places) and it compliments the garlic bread very well. The steamed lobster comes with some butter and lemon on the side, but I like to eat the lobster plain, so as to get the full flavour of the lobster. Having said that, though, the broiled lobster, which has a garlic and bread crumb topping, is also scrumptious. I would really recommend going with someone (not by yourself, as in any dining experience) so that you can share your plates! This is definitely is "up there" on my list of favourite restaurants!
