I opted for a side of butter rather than their mayo based sauce The fries were on the smaller side and a little soggy My friend got the spiny lobster with crab stuffing . I had a bite and it was really yummy and I wish I had ordered it. I would recommend making reservations if you can as it was full on Saturday night but we were able to snag a spot at the bar I really liked the vibe of Lobster Trap and it is worth a visit while you are in Catalina!

Perfect temperature, sooooo incredibly creamy, potatoes are cooked to the perfect soft texture, & clams aren't too chewy. I could eat three more bowls of this Lobster (market price, $72): mmmm kinda bland. Lacking a lil salt. The lobster itself tasted fresh & had a nice bite too it & wasn't too fishy. The stuffing was very good but too buttery for me to finish the whole thing, idk if I'd get it again Fries (6/10): decent but nothing to write home about

It was a good tasting meal with the fish and fries hot and fresh to counter the cool and tasty cole slaw. The table service was very good too. I would be happy to return here.

Drinks: Dirty Martini 2/5 Food: - LEMON GRASS CHICKEN CRUNCH SALAD 4/5: This salad was incredible. The dressing was so flavorful. My only complaint is that it was drenched in dressing so a bit too salty and soggy. I would just ask for the dressing on the side next time. - PRIME RIB 4/5: We chose a baked potato and brussel sprouts as our two sides. The baked potato was on the drier side, and the brussels were small. The prime rib itself was good. Meaty cut and pretty tender. I wish the horseradish had more of a bite though. - FRESH CATCH OF THE DAY 3.5/5: I opted for the fresh catch booked with a lemon and garlic sauce alongside rice pilaf and asparagus. Flavors were great but it was slightly overcooked so a bit on the dry side.

We came to Catalina Island for a weekend getaway and celebrating my friend's birthday dinner here…read more We didn't have reservations since they don't accept them for parties of fewer than 8, so we decided to walk in a little early. The restaurant was already busy with dinners, but we really appreciated them accommodating us! Overall, we enjoyed the food and had a good experience. The only downside was that we felt a little rushed, probably because it's a busy restaurant near the beach. Of course, camera eats first! I'll be sharing the food pics i ordered. The food was really good and delicious! I'd definitely come back next time I'm on the island. Thank you for accommodating us and helping make our friend's birthday dinner enjoyable!

We sat where the hostess suggested we wait, but were forgotten until we approached again. These things happen! We went straight into mains. I ordered the filet Mignon, I loved it! It came with hollandaise which I wasn't in the mood for, so ordered the side of ride wine jus, they wouldn't allow me to switch it out. It definitely was more of a glaze in thickness, but still super tasty. Only thing missing was a hard sear on the steak, it didn't have that lovely salty crust. My husband got the lamb rack, loved it! Only questionable thing was the mint jelly it came with. Definitely tasted and had a texture of jello rather than regular mint jelly, but put that to the side. Our server was so friendly, and it was amazing that they gave attentive service while also breaking down the chairs and tables for the night - quite a feat!

It was a lot of people cheering for Norway and everyone seem to be having a good time. Rather loud with all the tvs and light chatter but the cool AC beats sitting in the outdoor patio. Some seats had reservations on them too. Theres a large couch too for large groups that seem fun with friends. We ordered a beer, ginger ale, chicken wrap with fries, and cauliflower. It was a lot of food for two but the average person that comes here probably appreciates the large portion size. The chicken was coated with sauce and had a spinach tortilla. It was so satiable. The servers were all prompt and seem to juggle many roles like bartending and bussing as well. They were quick to take our order and easy to waive down to ask for a side of pickles since they were always moving around even if they were a few. Two single stall bathrooms.
