Don't ever use for take out – I ordered a bowl of soup and an order of fried calamari for dinner on an average Tuesday night. After being advised it would take no longer than 45 minutes (they are 3 blocks away), it took 1.5 hours. Not to mention, the fried calamari was colder than the cup of Sprite that came with it. I wouldn't feed it to my dog. I'd highly recommend avoiding.

Uncomfortbale Experience – Me and my Daughter dined at City Lobster this past Friday night. I had walked past the restaurant numerous times but never had ventured in. Our server was very charming and attentive, and drew our attention to the pre-fix menu. This menu was continued through restaurant week and was a great deal with three courses for only $35. My Daughter and I enjoyed the delicious menu with the Sea Scallops Entree being the highlight recommended why our waiter. The whole experience was pretty enjoyable except fo... read more

NO! – My wife and I brought our 2 friends to City Lobster after seeing the advertisement in our hotel room. Our two friends are asian. While this detail seems insignificant, it most definitely is not, as we witnessed the restaurants head maitre'd demean an asian staff member over and over again right in front of our table. Talking loudly and slowly in his face, grabbing the poor mans arm, pulling him around like a slave, barking orders. My wife was visibly upset. later in the evening we saw the same man drinking a bottle of ... read more

Really Great Lunch – I had lunch here yesterday and the food was excellent. I had the Lobster Chowder and the Lobster Roll. The Lobster Roll wasn't overly mayonaisey like it is at many places. I will definitely be back!

Awesome food – Had dinner here Monday night. Food was delicious! Had a great window seat and the service was flawless without being pretentious. Don’t get where all the negatives comments are coming from. If you work in midtown its the perfect place to have a great dinner after a long days work/ before theatre.

Not a friendly place for out of town visitors – After seeing their ad on TV in our hotel room; my wife and I decided to have an early supper before going to the theatre. Stopped in around 6:00pm on Saturday March 6, 2010. The hostess inquired if we had reservations. We said no. She escorted us to a table in the back in a corner. We asked if we could have one of the many empty tables situated in the middle of the restaurant and also mentioned that their TV advertisement said nothing about reservations needed. Her response, Yo... read more

$1 oysters and cheap lobsters! – $1 oysters at this kind of place is a very good deal, not only do they have $1 oysters, but they also have great prices for lobsters. I work and live around the area. When I go there for lunch I usually get the pre-fix menu, or sometimes I get the special of the day. The special of the day is always fresh, and it's also a lot, sometimes I can’t even finish it. The few times that I have been there for dinner, I have ordered the lobster (OF COURSE) and I have also tried the Alaskan king crab le... read more

Not Recommended – Headed to City Lobster last night with much anticipation for a wonderful dining experience. My wife ordered the Australian Lobster Tail directly from the menu...the waitor told us "we don't have any"....this is on a Friday, early evening, in the theater district. Think about it: a Lobster place that does not serve lobster tails. The food service was not up to par for the prices charged...the actual meal was cold when served...even the bread was old and gummy. I would not recommend City Lobster...there are s... read more
