Frozen lobster tail goes against my fresh dogmatic views. But heck their thermadore was cooked perfectly with wine sauce. Lobster was a bit chewy and hard likely reflects the frozen & size. Frozen is the only ding I would comment. Go to any good Chinese in SF and it's all live lobster and taste much more succulent. Aldente pasta was also a perfect compliment and veggies on a sage stick... perfecto.
Came here to have my birthday meal on Monday I wanted something fancy and this place hit the theme all across. After trying various different foods in Mexico I wanted seafood. I was skeptical about coming here since I saw a review about somebody getting "food poisoning" but I'm glad I ventured out to try it. This place is very fancy and kinda low key you have to pay attention or you'll walk right by; first off lets start with they're BIG ASS menu lol the menu was so big he had so stand it on the chair. The prices here were very reasonable which surprised me for the size lobsters u can get. I order a medium lobster tail broiled which was 389 pesos which converted to 26 USD that included baked potato, vegetables, bread and a delicious a cilantro parsley churri sauce I just wished the lobster had more garlic broiled flavor that I'm used to but the meal was still enjoyable.
This is my dinner. It looked beautiful. The lobster was total mush. Lobster should not be mushy. I did not eat it...but still paid for it. We will not return. Lobster is in your name. It should have been perfect!
WOW TUNA TOSTADAS. Best thing I've had in a long time. I would come back just to order 4 plates of these. The explosion of flavour was amazing and the crunch was a nice touch. Thank you to yelp for recommending this, you guys never disappoint! My friend and I both ordered the lobster special which came with cream of lobster soup. Nothing to complain about but also not as wow'd. I dipped the lobster in a chimichanga sauce which was a nice change from melted butter. The roasted veggies on a skewer was a nice side and honestly, as I'm typing this I'm salivating. To top it off, the service was super attentive. We came right as they opened so it was only us, but don't doubt that the service would be any less if it was busier. Also following another yelp suggestion I tried the pina colada. It was good but didn't live up to the hype on yelp. Overall, yes you should go here and you better order the tuna tostadas!
After walking around on 5th ave in Playa Del Carmen, we decided to give Blue Lobster a try. 5 star on service, 5 star on food, 5 star on prices, and 5 star on location. This place had a 1100 gram grilled lobster for $50.00 and a grilled shrimp Ceaser salad for $9.00. Awesome meal.
Best restaurant in Playa Del Carmen! If you are looking for a nice place with amazing food, look no further! My girlfriend and I made a reservation about 3 hours ahead for 7PM and were seated immediately when we arrived. TIP: upstairs is much cooler in temperature for those hot humid nights! Our server was named Marina I believe and she spoke English very well and was very friendly and fast. This place has a very fun vibe with their giant wooden menus... and by giant i mean seriously giant! I sadly don't even remember what steak I ordered as i don't like seafood but i remember it was delicious with a fair price and good portion size. My girlfriend ordered some lobster and a seafood appetizer which I also forget but she loved everything she ordered (maybe we forgot because we ordered too many amazing cocktails here! *TIP: order the blue lagoon!) We topped the night off with a flan for dessert and it was fantastic! Only thing about flan is they are never big enough, but that's expected so we ordered a delicious strawberry cheesecake too!
Omg!! Where do I start the food here is amazing! I had the lobster thermador with Alfredo...sooo good. You get to choose you size lobster price per ounce. I got the second to the smallest since the smaller was not available. With that being said I had some leftovers. I probably could have split it with my cousin. This is definitely a place I would visit again and the staff was very attentive!
For the price, I wish the lobster had been fresh. The preperations were good, but nothing can mask the rubbery texture of frozen, over cooked lobster. I mean lobster is in the name of the place! You think they'd have a tank full of the tasty bastards swimming around. The shrimp and queso appetizer was amazing, as was the caprese salad. The tomatoes were fresh and juicy and the mozzerala was just salty enough. Pretty well stocked bar with in country and expat beers. Being able to have a drink and watch all the people walking down the street while a summer rain is a pretty great experience.
The blue lobster, is such an appropriate name for this restaurant in those beautiful section of Playa Del Carmen. Service at the blue lobster is unquestionably excellent. The hostess was kind and beautiful, The waiters or fast efficient and friendly. But, it's the food that is so amazing. I ordered grilled lobster and a side of pasta not really expecting what I would get. I could've just eaten the side of pasta it was so amazing it really was very good. But now the lobster it was amazing. Lobster is not an easy seafood item to cook. If you cook it too long it gets rubbery and hard and if you cook it too quickly, it becomes gooey. This was the most perfect lobster I have had in a very long time, it was 640 g which is about a pound and a half maybe almost 2 pounds so, it is not easy to cook but it came out perfectly. The prices here are appropriate with the items that you are ordering. They do not gouge you with the prices even though you are in downtown playa. I will be back for more, and I will be back soon.
The Blue Lobster's oversized menus surprised us! It was fun. The seating area was pretty warm. Our waiter was very funny & nice! The food is average but it is pretty cool that you get to pick out your own lobster if you order a lobster dish. The mozzarella on the Caprese Salad was tough and not very flavorful. I did like the Coconut shrimp, though. The lobster was pretty tough. Overall, I've had better restaurant experiences in Playa!
Well, here's the thing: In Cancun for vacation, we read the reviews. Here's the good: The biggest lobster tail I've ever seen. Roughly $90. Here's the mostly good: The lobster tail was somewhat tough as you'd expect for a tail of this size. Here's the bad: Everything else. Had microwaved until tough stale rolls. Had lobster bisque that was literally brown gravy with lobster meat in it. Gross. Sent it back. Incessantly loud techno rap music at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon made us happy to leave. Gave the third star for the enormous tail.

Got the surf and turf with lobster and an 8 ounce filet cooked medium-rare. The lobster was sweet and meaty. The filet was surprisingly very good, especially when you're expecting lobster to be their specialty. Nice place, would recommend. read more

I have eaten here a few times. I order the same thing every time I go. The best lobsters ever. So tender it's hard to pick it up with a fork. Very flakey and fresh. If you go to playa del Carmen and do yourself a favor and try the lobster. Good wine selection too read more

IThe restaurant has a very sailor and boat house style. Our server, Geyler, was super friendly. He helped us order the most popular items on the menu. We got fried calamari which was really good. Ahi tuna poke which was OK. Lobster pasta was alright, but kind of bland. The risotto was too salty and it had pieces of lobster shell in it. Ahi tuna steak was OK as well. Everything was just average. They were very accomodating with our reservations though. We changed the time 2 times without them giving us a hard time. read more

Amazing lobster broiled to perfection! I was really bummed because I wanted a larger lobster tail than I'm used to, but my only options were 610 grams and 980 grams! If I came with a starving appetite or if my boyfriend shared the same love for seafood with me, then I would've gone for it, but instead opted for my only other option, a 100 gram tail. We got the steak and lobster plate, a bowl of clam chowder, and the guacamole. All were exceptional. For drinks, it was 2x1 so I got 2 piña coladas and he got 2 coronas. Good service and wonderful food. Definitely come hungry if you want to get one of the big boys! read more
