Fodor's Expert Review Lobster Bar and Grill

The giant tropical-fish tank at the entrance sets the scene, and, as the name suggests, lobster is the featured ingredient on the menu. It’s whipped into soups, served as appetizers, and presented in full glory in numerous entrées. The lobster bisque is creamy yet light, with great chunks of meat at the bottom. The seafood platter—Boston lobster, seasonal oysters, Alaskan crab, prawns, and fresh clams—doesn’t disappoint. If you prefer your shellfish cooked, go for the lobster thermidor or a simple steamed preparation. With a vibe that is at once formal and cozy, the restaurant is also great for before- or after-dinner drinks at the bar and features live jazz performances Monday to Saturday evening.
