    Service was friendly, no wait on a weekday in mid September. Old steakhouse vibe. I was pleasantly…read moresurprised by the Caesar salad and baked onion soup. Both were delicious. The Caesar dressing had a nice lemon tanginess to it and wasn't just your typical storebought dressing. Soup was delicious and had plenty of cheese. My entree was more mediocre, I got the prime rib and lobster. Price was reasonable for 10 ounces of prime rib and a whole boiled lobster. The vegetable garnish was forgettable, steamed baby carrots and squash. The prime rib had no flavor. It was tender and fairly juicy (although that could've been because it was served in a bed of au jus). Not even the edges of the prime rib had any seasoning, it's like someone cooked it in a bag. I had to add table salt. Lobster was oddly lukewarm. Overall I think this would be a great place to have soup and salad in Lincoln, but the prime rib was forgettable.

    This was a 3.5-star experience that I rounded down to three. I had a good enough meal, but the food…read morewas unspectacular for a restaurant that looks like it should be on the higher-quality side. I wanted a steak, and Gordi's appeared to be the best place in town for one. Unfortunately, the steak was extremely average. It was not bad, but nothing about it was memorable, and it did not live up to my expectations. Service was friendly and efficient. The restaurant also has a relaxed, homey New Hampshire atmosphere, with a comfortable ski-lodge feel that fits the area well. Overall, I liked the service and ambiance more than the food. It was a perfectly acceptable meal, but I was hoping for more from the steak.

    We came to Surf Shack for lunch craving fried clams. If you read my reviews, you can tell I'm a big…read morefan of lobster rolls. The first thing that caught my eye was the lobster roll flight. I should have known better, though. What we got: - Lobster roll flight - Fried clams dinner The lobster roll flight is served as an appetizer and doesn't come with any sides. It was lobster prepared 3 ways. Classic butter, wine sauce, and a jalapeño mayo. The classic was good, the wine sauce was bad, and the jalapeño mayo overwhelmed the lobster flavor. It would be better as a classic mayo with a drizzle of the jalapeño sauce. In all 3, the lobster was overcooked and the portion was small. The fried clams were delicious. About 9 or 10 in total. A big portion of fries and two small hush puppies. The hush puppies were delicious. But for $30, the price is too high for what you get. The server was friendly, but her energy was off-putting. She was very erratic, made sure to mention that they had drinks on the menu, and then proceeded to give a detailed list of every alcoholic beverage they had. We came in for lunch, on a Wednesday, and weren't looking to drink; her energy just didn't match the energy of the room. When we said we were just going to have water. She exclaimed "FANTASTIC, LOVE THAT!" and then rushed off. Surf Shack was a hit and a miss. But more of a miss. For $75, 1 app, 1 entree, and water. The price is outrageous for what you get.
