    Best Broiled Lobster!

    Once again, a fantastic dining experience. I celebrate my Daughter's birthday at The Lobster Trap on Weston Road as a yearly tradition. We always get the Broiled Lobster. Jay, and staff, thank you again for a wonderful evening. Glenn Kerekes

    Seafood pasta in a rose sauce..delicious!

    Came here for a belated birthday dinner with a friend on a thursday evening at 6pm. The waitress greeted us immediately and let us choose our own table and was all round friendly and helpful the entire evening, frequently topping up our waters and even offering to help take pictures of us and our food. For dinner, we ordered the lobster trap platter which comes with 1 lb Lobster, 1/2 lb Alaska King Crab Legs, Shrimps, Mussels ($85) and also a seafood pasta with lobster, crab, and shrimp in a rose sauce ($35), both which were absolutely delicious! And to wash it all down we shared a 1L pitcher of red sangria, one of the best sangrias I've ever had (which they didn't skimp on the vodka) As for tips, if planning to dine here on a Sunday through Thursday, check Groupon first for a $20 discount on $50 spend and then add on an extra side order of Alaskan crab legs.

    This place was a real surprise! After reading some not so great reviews, I was a little anxious coming to this place. It turned out to be an enjoyable experience. I came here with a few friends using a groupon deal that allowed us to get $75 worth of food for less(groupon value $37). We ordered the oysters to share, lobster bisque and a 1 lb of lobster broiled that came with the option of a side, so I of course, ordered fries. The oysters were decent and a good enough size to share. The sauce that in came with paired nicely. The lobster bisque was amazing! I loved it. The flavours and thickness of the bisque was perfect. The lobster was also delicious, I preferred it broiled but they also had it steamed. Overall, I really enjoyed this dining experience and our server was very nice too! I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for some lobster.

    Wow. Is what I thought after finishing my meal. I have been eyeing this place after seeing pics on a friend's FB page. So I decided to pick up a Groupon and try it out. I am so glad I did. I got the small steamed mussels in wine sauce to start, and it was so tasty and a good sign of things to come. We then got 2x 2lbs lobsters - 1 broiled with fries and the other steamed with garden salad. Well let's just say they both were extremely good!!!!! Dipping the lobster in garlic butter was amazing. You could taste how fresh it was. The service was very friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back to probably try an even bigger .

    Well we went to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary to the lobster trap. We arrived a little before 530 and the chef actually came out to seat us as the wait staff weren't starting til 6. Let me tell you this was perfect as he took the time to mention what was good that night and recommendations he had. We decided to share a lobster bisque to start and my wife had some escargot. Sorry forgot to take a photo of the bisque but it was amazing. Very creamy and lots of tender lobster meat in it. My wife said the escargot was good but nothing special. The bisque is amazing. The chef mentioned they were out of filet and would substitute with the N.Y. sirloin instead if we ordered the surf and turf. He mentioned he could do the same on the lobster and king crab platter. So we got the 2lb lobster 2 12oz NY Sirloin and king crab and he was able to also substitute the white wine garlic muscles instead of the shrimp as my wife doesn't like shrimp. The prevention of the platter was very nice and everything was pre cracked to make the dinning experience easy. They do give large lobster crackers if you need to do more damage. The waitress came by right at 6 and asked how we enjoyed the appetizers. The service was great and the steamed lobster was cooked to perfection. The ample hot butter and garlic bread also made the dish enjoyable. I highly recommend this platter. To our surprise the chef game us a free dessert even though we were stuffed from the large meal. Yes we took home a full steak and some muscles. The cake was a white chocolate raspberry that was excellent. We will be back again soon. They made our 25th wedding anniversary dinner very memorable. Thanks again

    This is the size of the potato

    I was so disappointed with this experience. The lobsters are definitely not at weight. No I did not have a scale but I can tell you that they were NOT to weight. In fact, I would bet dollars to donuts that they were pre-frozen. We ordered whole steamed, 2 lb lobsters with tamale and roe. Lobster came halved and cleaned out. When we questioned it, staff argued that it was not cleaned. Then the "lobster connoisseur" came to our table to tell us that "every lobster is different. He then brought us bowls of previously frozen roe. To make good, I assume, he brought us an additional small lobster, uncleaned. After questioning, we were hard pressed to see our server again. As a side note, the baked potatoes were very small and the garlic bread was horrid. Just one last thing, before we were done, as in, forks and knives in hand, we were asked if we needed take out boxes and then we felt as if were rushed out. Upon exiting, we went to see the live lobsters in the tank there was so much crud in there we could not even see them.

    I really enjoyed my time here! Unlike the new seafood restaurants that are all about the sauce and messy eating, this is more of a sit down and stripped down meal (think of a simple steamed lobster + butter). When we arrived for our booking at 7pm, the table was not prepared yet (we had a group of 14 and the tables that were for us still had guests eating there). Initially I was very unhappy about this, but the waitress apologized and even provided our party with two complimentary bottles of beer, and a round of shots for everyone towards the end of the meal. About 10 minutes or so later, we were seated and promptly served. The lobster bisque was a big bowl of oh SOOO creaminess, had lots of lobster bits and lobster flavour; it was completely satisfying. I ordered a 1 lb broiled lobster -- it was delicious with the garlic butter (they add real garlic pieces into your melted butter for you!--so many yums), but I found the lobster to be a little overcooked and was tougher than I'd like. I also had a side of baked potato and they provided me with as much bacon, green onions, and sour cream as I wanted to add. Garlic bread was very good too, but compared to Lobster Royale (our previous go-to lobster restaurant that has unfortunately closed down now) it was not made with fresh garlic; just garlic butter spread on top. Overall it was an enjoyable meal, service was very generous despite not having our table prepared on time. I personally prefer Lobster Royale more, but since it has closed down for a couple years now, Lobster Trap will be our new go-to lobster place.

    Lobster bisque soup! Perfectly balanced. Best I've had!
    Morena A.

    This is my favorite seafood place in town. I had stream lobster, king crab legs, mussles, and Shrimps. For apperitezer I had the lobster bisque (the best I've had) and half a dozen oysters. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and provided great suggestions. Next time I go I want to try a pasta dish and I will definitely be having the lobster bisque soup!

    I had an amazing experience here with my sister. Jay was our chef and server. The server got into a car accident so Jay had to take over both roles. We honestly felt like VIP. Jay was so pleasant, had such a great attitude and was so kind to us. The food tasted so delicious. My sister ordered the 1/4 broiled lobster. I ordered the seafood pasta. My pasta was really good. Jay put a lot of effort and time into making the food and serving us. He made the experience such a great one. Thank you so much, Jay. We will be back again

    I frequented the original/former location many, many times as I was growing up and as an adult. I took my boyfriend for his birthday to show him what a lobster experience is and this place was as good as ever! Maybe even better since the service was impeccable. Shout out to our server named Reza who was awesome. Don't hesitate to eat at this place because it's amazing. Also to all the bad reviews....y'all are whack this place is amazing.

    Coconut Butterfly Shrimp, they have got to be in my top 5 of favourite foods. These ones are well cooked, served hot and crispy.

As an ex-barista, I'm fussy--I hate spending money and not getting a quality product. Unfortunately, the coffee was a swing and a miss. I ordered one iced latte and one hot latte. In both drinks, the espresso was burnt. I actually watched the barista pulling the shots, and I could tell immediately. To make matters worse, the hot drink was barely a latte; it was essentially a cappuccino based on the absurd amount of foam on top. Plus, the milk itself was ruined. There's a certain temperature and texture for steaming milk, and this was clearly burnt milk that had been frothed way too aggressively. Aesthetically, the café is lovely--it's cute and a great spot to work from home. My recommendation? Skip the espresso drinks. Maybe try the matcha or a pastry instead. I definitely won't be back for the coffee.

I visited yesterday evening at ~8:50PM after watching a movie as I was starving and tired and needed a little something for the commute home in north east Scarborough. Service was friendly and the staff was helpful with my questions. The store has booth - chair table seating so you could sit with just 2 people at a time at a table or join the tables for larger groups. Their bakery brand (Bake Code) features a variety of innovated desserts and baked breads. They have several different ongoing promotions, like if you buy 6+ buns, you pay no tax. If you buy 5 buns, you get one free. End of day sale for buns is 25% OFF. They have a VIP card for $20 that gives you 10% off buns on every visit for a year. The Taiwanese sausage bun was featured as the bun of the month. The promotions do not stack so you get the best available deal. In my case, it was the 25% off. 2 of the savoury croissants we had were just crispy dry. When I eat a croissant, I expect something moist and buttery. This was neither. I don't live in the area so I won't be back for the goods. Maybe the drinks.
