Truly the greatest seafood I have ever had!!! They import the lobster directly from Nova Scotia!!! Everything you get will be absolutely scrumptious!! I brought my friend for the first time for her birthday because I knew she had to try the lobster bisque which I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! It was absolutely delectable as always! Also, not only did the amazing chef give us extra shrimps for our linguine and extra veggies for the salmon, but he also gave her a delicious slice of raspberry vanilla cake at the end with a candle for us to sing Happy Birthday! The staff is extremely courteous and the food is delicious! What more could you ask for?? read more

Sort of a strange experience - this place doesn't really serve alcohol ("fortunately") - the paper placemats and the cheesy tablesetting really made it as if they were shooting for a Red Lobster level of service - but they really didn't need to. The lobster was good, especially since the minimum weight lobsters weren't even available to us. I wanted Tomalley (the green stuff) but my friends didn't so our server wisely put in all orders with Tomalley "on the side" for my friends so they could just hand their litle tins of Tomalley to me :). So do come here for the lobster, but don't expect too much in terms of service or experience otherwise. Make the lobster your experience and you'll be fine. read more

It's the August long weekend in Ontario and my wife and I went to The Lobster Trap for dinner. You'd think they're ready for a busy weekend with plenty of food in stock. But, no. They don't have Lobster Tails tonight. Sold out on a Saturday! We were both going to ask for the double lobster tail dinner ($87 each). I was thinking it would still be profitable to cook 4x2lb lobsters, give us the tails, and use the remainder for lobster bisque or anything else. But, no. Sorry, don't have tonight. We left! read more

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 read more

The Lobster Trap - Best Broiled Lobster! - Seafood Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

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. read more

I was not happy that they did not accept a Groupon deal after I have made multiple calls to confirm that it was still valid during this pandemic. They advised that they would give me face value ($30) for it even if it passed the expiry date. Which they did not follow thru with. Their menu prices online on the pdf file are also different from their menu at the location. The location menu is more expensive. I was also advised that on Friday they are opened for lunch as well as what their sign at the location. When I arrive at 1:30pm they were closed. I live really far from Woodbridge. I have traveled there twice to use the Groupon deal and only to get rejected with the coupon and the face value that they have offered me. Groupon has advised that they have extended the expiry date due to the pandemic and yet lobster trap did not accept the coupon. I requested to speak with the manger but as per the server the manger was not in that day... on a Friday night ... read more

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. read more

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 . read more

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 read more

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. read more

I have been coming to lobster trap for 52 years. I started at the avenue road location and just celebrated my 52 year birthday at this location ! My parents brought me to the trap when I was just a baby and fell in love with it since that time . The lobster I had on my birthday was exactly how I remembered it .. sweet, tender and delicious. Started with the garlic bread , Oysters lobster bisque and a 3.5 pound lobster ... excellent and has not changed... I will keep Coming back... same table cloths menus etc ... Actually my parents said they used to come to the lobster trap when it first opens in Scarborough ... even before the avenue road location ... read more

Came here for a weekday dinner with a few friends. Wasn't very busy which was nice. Ordered a steamed 1.25lb lobster and lobster bisque. The lobster bisque was great but my lobster was over cooked. It was so rubbery I couldn't cut the the meat into smaller pieces, when I chewed it I ended up having to swallow that portion whole, that's when I realized it was waaaay to overcooked. It was like chewing an eraser. I ended up asking to get a new one but they only replaced half a lobster! This is really upsetting considering I paid $42 for a whole lobster and got much less than what I was supposed to. I get that a half of the tail was gone but it wasn't enjoyable at all (eraser). At $42 I'm expecting the whole lobster to be enjoyable. Not to mention there's lots of meat in the legs which I didn't get to, so effectively they served me 3/4 of a lobster that I paid for. They brought back less than they took back! At their price point they shouldn't have to nickle and dime their customers this way. The lady came out and advised that everyone's taste buds are different and I just need to ask them to under cook it next time. But I don't think it was a taste buds issue more than it was a texture issue. When you can't even cut or chew the meat apart it's definitely overcooked. Taste is good but nothing special. If you think about it, it's literally a lobster, chopped in half, then steamed for 8 minutes. No marinade or anything. It's as simple as it gets. So if you like the natural lobster taste you'll definitely appreciate the flavors here. I left really unsatisfied/hungry. This was my second time there. The first time was at their original location and I felt much more valued as a customer there (they gave us a $50 gift card because food took 1 hour to come out, but we ended up throwing the gift card away bc we thought they closed, didn't realized they moved). It's unfortunate they don't seem to care about their customers' experience as much anymore. Their Woodbridge location is so much closer to where I live but I'm not sure I will go back or recommend, don't feel like paying extra to be ripped off again. read more

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. read more

Our family has been dining here since it's early days on Morningside Drive and, of course, for many decades on Avenue Road. Our recent experience from the Woodbridge location was wonderful. We ordered their famous lobster bisque for take out for our Father's Day celebration. Jay did a great job of packaging it and explained how to reheat it later in the day. It was as delicious as we remembered. Lots of pieces of lobster and so creamy. My husband licked his bowl. The garlic rolls were a delicious bonus. Can't wait to eat in when we can. Thanks so much Lobster Trap and Jay! read more

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! read more

STAY AWAY!!!! Went here on the weekend and they were dead. Not a soul in there. They said they weren't serving alcohol and seeing how extra they were about Covid rules, I'm assuming they lost license for not following rules. Anyhoo... ordering was horrific! They only had 1&2lb lobsters, no oyster, no salmon, no halibut, no crab cakes, no crab, no surf and turf because they didn't have filet Mignon or lobster tails. Ummmm ok! Other than the 1 & 2lb lobster they had steak and chicken ...I think. They charged a whopping $4 a glass for pop and failed to mention the refills were not free like every other restaurant. I guess they were trying to make up for no food and liquor sales. I guess pappa's not in char anymore and kid is running it down to the ground. Should have went to RED LOBSTER. They always have fish and seafood! read more

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 read more

The Lobster Trap - Seafood Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

Nice family dining restaurant. They were quite understaffed, everyone looked flustered! Tried the lobster bisque.. it was just ok. It wasn't hot, just warm, but went well with their garlic bread which was pretty good. Soft and savory The portions of food is great. But the seafood was either over cooked or undercooked. I ordered the lobster & veggies with baked potato. My lobster tail was very overcooked, rubbery and hard to come out of the shell. My friends shrimp from the seafood pasta was undercooked. The oysters were perfect, nice and fresh! Would only go back for the oysters and garlic bread. read more

The seafood is great, the steak and chicken too. But it is the Lobster Trap - you really should have the seafood. The Coconut Shrimp is fantastic here, big shrimps, cooked perfectly, crispy coconut coating and a sweet tangy sause. The service is professional and polite, the decor is a dressed down fine dining atmosphere. So you can dress up if you want - or not. Price is reasonable, maybe $30 per person. Its a nice night out. read more

The Lobster Trap - Coconut Butterfly Shrimp, they have got to be in my top 5 of favourite foods. These ones are well cooked, served hot and crispy. - Seafood Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

Been a number of times. Was great initially. Then a new (supposed) chef came in, and he decided to add a bucket of hot water over the open lobster. Which is a dreadful idea. I spoke to the owner, he didn't give a darn actually... He just justified this ridiculous practice, that I've never seen ANYWHERE ELSE BEFORE. I haven't been in a while. I hope they've stopped doing it! read more

This was my first and last experience at Lobster Trap, the service was kinda ok. The atmosphere was ok too but the food was over priced the quantity was like feeding a baby. Their supplies was limited no garden salad one round of cranberry n ginger ale after which was told there was no more. when asked was told they ran out on Friday but today is Saturday you need to replenish. The appetizer took forever to come oh good Lord not to mention the food. We thought maybe they went fishing to catch the lobster n the shrimp and the Salmon bc it was taking so long. The experience was horrible would not recommend this place to no one definitely was not a good experience. The desert was very limited after spending over $748 we left the restaurant still hungry. I hope lobster Trap sharepen up or there will be no one going there. read more

"Take your Groupon and shove it up your F*****g A**" was the response I got after being hung up on, twice. Even though I did read the so-so reviews about The Lobster Trap (Woodbridge location) online, I did decide to give it a try with a Groupon offer. Unexpectedly, I had to change my reservation and when I called the morning of (a Thursday) to re-schedule, I was told I could not without losing the value of the Groupon. I tried to reason with the woman as I was not cancelling my reservation, but re-scheduling it. I was promptly told that there was nothing else that could be done and she hung up the phone. I called back again and spoke with the same woman who was again abrupt and rude, telling me there was nothing that could be done, before hanging up on me a second time. Not wanting to leave this on a sour note I tried one more time to call back and reason with the woman. This time a gentleman answered the phone. After telling him that I had been hung up on twice, he told me that no I had not, it was a cell phone that got disconnected... twice... hmm... really? He then gave me the introductory line of this review and hung up the phone. Thank you Lobster Trap for ensuring I never come to your restaurant, along with anyone else I know or can reach by social media. Groupon, I would like my money back. read more

This is my first post, but I feel I need to let ppl know about this. We went because I purchased the groupon. When we get there, we were surprise by how overprice it is. We ordered lobster bisque, 2 order crab cakes and a halibut steak. The bisque is okay but it's a but too much wine, I actually like it but some people might not. The crab cake is extremely small and pricy. The taste was a bit salty and lastly the halibut steak is too small and vege is not fresh. I wonder never go back again. read more

I found out about this restaurant through a Groupon. I ordered a 1.25 pound lobster dinner, while my girlfriend ordered the fillet mignon. My lobster was pretty good, and was served with garlic butter, lemon and rice. The baked potato that came with my girlfriends meal was not cooked enough, and the vegetables were not of high quality. For the price of everything though, the food should have been of much higher quality in my opinion. read more

I had been a customer of the Lobster Trap's Avenue Road location for over 40 years and spent many a birthday dinner there with my family. Unfortunately the service, atmosphere & food had really gone downhill recently so we had been searching for an alternative. I was thrilled to find that the original chef (Sathiya) had moved to the The Lobster Trap's Vaughan location so we decided to take a chance & try it. Boy, I am glad we did! From the moment we walked in, we were well looked after. Our waiter (Mehmet) was extremely attentive and made sure my birthday dinner was perfect from start to finish. Our Dinner started with the Trap's yummy garlic bread. Next, the Caesar salad with homemade dressing was to-die-for. Seriously, Sathiya should bottle the stuff, it's that good & far better than the salads ever were at the Avenue location. The lobster bisque was exactly as I remembered it, creamy & full of that sweet lobster meat. For my main dish I ordered the classic live 1 1/2 lb. broiled lobster. I was not disappointed...the lobster was cooked to PERFECTION. If you had been a customer at the Avenue location you knew that lobster was really the only reason to dine there but my husband, who is not a lobster fan, decided to order the 10 oz. filet mignon. Surprisingly, his steak was also perfectly cooked (medium rare) and cut like butter. To end off the meal & since we were there to celebrate my birthday, Mehmet surprised us with a piece of Bailey's cheesecake topped with a sparkler...or should I say fireworks. The cake was delicious & the piece big enough for all of us to share. What a perfect ending to a perfect meal. Thank you Sathiya for the delicious food & Mehmet for making us feel so special. We will definitely be back! read more

The Lobster Trap - Dinner at The Lobster Trap in Vaughan (April 13, 2016) - Seafood Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

I had a Groupon, haha my fave way to start a sentence! Anyways the lobster was the best part of this menu. It was amazing! We order the combination can't remember what it's called. But everything else was ok. The pasta was pretty good but the mussels skip it! Trust me! read more

I didn't enjoy much at all but than I was the idiot who went to a lobster spot and didn't want to eat lobster My party enjoyed and would return and the lobster roll looked good I would return for a lobster roll or to bring someone who wanted to try it read more

I'm surprised that I'm giving this place 5 stars. I fully expected to be disappointed. However, when I'm wrong I admit it. I don't buy Groupons for restaurants anymore because it's always a bad experience. However, when I saw the Groupon for this place my brain just focused on "LOBSTER" and all reason and logic went out the window and I bought it. As per the Groupon instructions I called and tried to make a reservation. I was speaking with a lady who was very grumpy and rude and instantly made me remember why buying restaurant Groupons is a bad idea. Reluctantly, we had our reservation and made our way up to Vaughan from Milton. We got there a bit before they opened but the Open sign was already lit up so we got out of the car and tried the door, it was locked. At that exact moment an employee was getting out of his car and told us that we could wait inside at a table if we wanted. He was friendly and polite and a stark contrast to what I had experienced when I called. Turned out this employee was our Server and his name was Jay. He explained the menu to us and was fast and attentive. The other server working was also very friendly and polite. We ordered coconut shrimp and lobster bisque to start and they were both delicious but the bisque stole the show. I've tried a lot of lobster bisque and I am not usually impressed but this bisque is amazing! Nice big chunks of lobster meat in it. Great flavour. My wife and I each ordered broiled lobster and it was great. It was cooked perfectly. My children each ordered the fish and chips and really enjoyed it as well. I stole a few of their fries and they were delicious. The tartar sauce is excellent as well. I really can't say enough good things about our meal. I can't wait to go back. read more

Tonight was the first time we came to this place. After an hour of driving we found this place on the way and SO glad that we did. We were itching for some seafood and oysters and my my this place was exactly what our taste buds were wanting. The staff continued to check on us and make sure we were okay. Our server, Grace, was amazing- she was genuinely thoughtful. Food was a bit pricier but the food was just soooo good. So worth it. Side note- make sure to get the lobster bisque. read more

The Lobster Trap - Seafood Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

The food looks good, but it's overcooked and bland. They need a new chef with "30 years of experience". Terrible. Money wasted.

GREAT food and fantastic waiter who anticipated what we would need. We ordered quite a bit and personally when I go to a restaurant and order one soup between myself+the boyfriend ...99% of the time they give one spoon per order. He gave us two without asking and always came by to ask if we were ok and if we needed more water or sour cream etc. It was phenomenal - we left a good tip. He deserved it. Especially since he was tying everyone's bibs!! It was very cute. However, I docked one star and gave him especially a good tip because the manager was god awful. What an idiot. Forced me to show we had reservations WHEN NO ONE before or after us did. She forced me to show her our email confirmation and then continued on to make me show her the TIME of our reservation and the entire email chain. She was rude to the waiter when he told her he was setting our table already. So awful!!! Cheers to our waiter for dealing with such an awful person. read more

My husband and I literally just left the restaurant and extremely happy with our experience. The service we received was beyond what we expected. YES, with a Groupon too. We came pretty late at around 8:30 hoping to get a seat (on a Friday night) without reservation. All the seats were full but they asked if we can come back. Did a little window shopping at Vaughan Mills and by the time we got back (an hr later) our seat was waiting. Location: We live in Mississauga so we tried to make a night out of it. Plenty of parking considering there was an event next to restaurant. Staff: Excellent!! We must be real lucky because everyone (3 people) were attentive. The tall guy was genuinely great! Even my husband was surprised since I kinda mentioned that we may have to wait for a while to get our food based on past reviews. Food: was superb! We generally don't eat lobster so we didn't know what to expect. We enjoyed our bread, mussels and lobster. Will recommend + and yes we'll be back! read more

I have been to the Avenue Rd. locations numerous times over the years. It has been my favorite restaurant ever since I was introduced to it by a friend. When I found out that they had changed owners and moved to Vaughan, I thought i would give it a try since all the staff and cooks had moved to the new location. I had an old dealfind coupon that was remaining but I was told that I could only use half of the value per visit. The new owner would not honor my dealfind coupon as purchased. He stated that the old owner went bankrupt because of these coupons and hence he could not afford to provide the face value of the coupon in one visit. I had also purchased 3 groupons for $40 for $80 worth of food. The fine prints said one groupon per table. When I called, i was told that if i could arrive by 530pm that they would make an exception and seat our party of six together but that i shouldn't mention it to anyone. Due to traffic, we arrived at 6pm to an empty restaurant and in spite that we had called to advise we were running late, the waitress advised that they could not accept the 3 groupons for our party of six. I told her that I had spoken to the owner who had authorized it so she went to speak to him and he said no. After much discussion, I asked to speak to the owner directly. He came out and he explained that because we were 30 minutes late, we had to sit at separate tables if we wanted him to honor the groupons. This being 2 days before my wedding day and 7 years since i had seen my parents and brother, the 6 of us had to split up into 3 tables of 2. Meanwhile, other patrons that walked in the door in two's were seated at tables for 4 that were much more comfortable and the restaurant was still very much empty. At the previous locations, they had more tables and there was always a line up no matter what time you showed up. At this place, there was hardly any patrons. The food was still good and still the same. We ordered our usual 1 and 1/4 pound lobster steamed which came with garlic bread and a side (baked potatoe, fries, rice, or salad). The bill is usually $80 for two people if we order nothing but a lobster each. What disappointed me was the service and the experience that I had. The owner said he couldn't have a party of six occupy his larger tables in case they had patrons that came in groups of 4. There were a dozen tables for 4 however when i looked around they were occupied by parties of 2. I never thought that by purchasing a groupon and going out of our way to get an earlier seating time of 6pm that the owner would be so inflexible. My parents and brother were obviously disappointed that we could talk and catchup after all these years. The waitresses were very friendly and nice. The service was very good otherwise. It was just how the owner treated us that left a bad taste in our mouths. I still have the old dealfind coupon for which i had paid $40 for. I was also a regular customer at the old location which i frequented often without the purchase of a groupon. After being treated in such a horrible way that evening, I doubt that I will be going back there. It's too bad because the food was still the same but the restaurant is no longer the same restaurant from avenue road that I use to love. read more

Went in with $35 for $70 worth of food with a groupon. Ordered 2 1lb lobsters - 1 broiled, 1 steamed. 2 lobster bisques added on, sides were chef salad and baked potato. Bill (post-tax and pre-tip) came to $90. Tipped $15, but I feel like I should have tipped much less, considering the poor service I received. Arrived 7 minutes late, waitress gave away table already. Would have been fine if they called to tell us this, but nope. They just did it without any notice. This was a little frustrating, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. However, I feel that this is pretty poor business practice. If you're going to ask for my phone number, why would you not use it? Another waitress seated us, just to kick us out as she meant to seat another couple. This is just completely disorganized, as well as a bit frustrating. However, we ended up having a 4 person table for the two of us, so it ended up alright. Ordered one broiled, one steamed. Waitress brought 2 broiled, then realized it was for the table behind us. Once again, disorganized. The whole meal, the waitresses paid much more attention to the tables around us than to us. This was just the overall feeling I had at this restaurant. When it came to paying, they just gave me the POS terminal and had me enter in all the information. This is just poor business practice, just because I could have entered in nothing at all and gone with it. If I didn't know how to operate the terminals, it would be even more annoying. Without the Groupon? I would have been very frustrated with the dining experience. Would have been paying quite a lot on good food but terrible service. read more

Hello everyone this will be totally unbiased from a person who works VERY hard for their money. I got a groupon and thought WOW lets have a special evening at the new Lobster Trap. I used to love going to the one on Avenue Rd as a child with my big brother. What a treat!...WELL, my husband and I thought lets rekindle a memory and and enjoy some lobster. FORGET IT!....the lobster was chewy and the bill for two would have been 200! if it werent for my GROUPON for which i got 70 dollars off. I left the waitress 20 dollars even though I really didnt think it was worth the service at all. By the way, the waitress brought me boxes to pack up the leftovers by myself....Buy your own lobster and cook this at home. DID i mention that the garlic rolls were SOAKED in oil..not butter...YOU will be full by the time the entree arrives because of all the OIL you ate in the rolls....GROSS... Give you money to charity....dont get fooled by the special deal...there is no deal to be had here.....the lobster wasnt sweet at all... My husband didnt want to start a fight so he just said thank you baby for dinner...but he really was grossed out and I could tell. One day this WILL spring up in a fight about how much money I wasted on trash food. HONESTLY...they took money for nothing...MONEY for NOTHING....gone are the days of yummy lobster...unless I cook it myself. btw: lobster is 5.99 a pound at Metro!!! good luck y'all and remember I TOLD YOU SO! read more

Stop in for a business lunch, great food. Really nice decor, newer that the other location on Avenue road. Love Lobster! Definitely return.

I have been coming here for years and have to say the best spot for lobster north of the 401.. great atmosphere awesome food and no rush environment. Don't come here looking for fast food and in and out experience. Sit down relax with a bottle of wine and enjoy the lobster. Truly worth it. read more

Worst service I've ever had! Will never go back there and will stay with my 20 year favorite Lobster Royale. The owner-manager is a coward who knows zero about customer service. I tried to use two buytopia vouchers for my table of 4 but then was told I couldn't even though voucher clearly states that I can. I asked to speak to manager 3 times but he hid in the kitchens and sent his waitress out each time. Apparently my kids did not count as people dining in his cheap restaurant and he would not honor the vouchers. I ordered enough food for 4 people. But I left promptly after he would not talk to me and I will never go back again. Save your money for Lobster Royale and their bisque is way better too. I blame Buytopia equally for supporting this fraudulent behavior. read more
