Never Again!! – Went there for Rest.Week on July 24th....They seated us late, ( 8:42) for a 8:00 reservation, although I was ten minutes late. They seated us at a "broken table"...the food runners brought someone else's food to our table, not once, but twice!!! After I finished the appetizers...I asked the busboy for some bread (which we should have had before the apps...) he brought it out...and as I reached for a roll...I noticed a large "bite" mark in the roll...gross...they "reused" my bread from another table. Really ba... read more

love restaurant week! – My husband and I live in the city, so we know restaurant week is not usually worth it at most restaurants (small portions to make up for low price). But not at City Lobster! I have to say it is the best deal in the city. We went last night and had a great time. I had the shrimp cocktail with this sweet guacamole, they were colossal. Then the lobster bake with clams, mussels, and yummy corn. For dessert i had the warm chocolate cake, soft and so rich. where else can you get a whole lobster meal for $35... read more

Great Food & Cocktails – I work down the street and decided to bring clients to City Lobster for dinner on Wed. We were a little early for our reservations and decided to have a drink at the bar. Though we did wait about 25 minutes the hostess was very sweet and kept letting us know where we were on the list. At first we thought they did not give us the special menu, but realized it was on the other side of the cocktail list. They had all these fun and inventive cocktails.... I had the "Flirtini" and my friend had the "Lusci... read more

Lobstered – Party of four for dinner before a short walk to Radio City Music Hall. City Lobster is an attractive setting on busy 49th street. The restaurant serves some "cutesy" drinks with names like Napoleon Dynamite, Lucious Blosson, Lady Killer and French Kiss Martini...tasty way to start off the evening. The rolls are stale, no fancy dipping oils... there is no disguising that The Lobsters are the thing here. You select the size: anything between 2 lbs and 9 lbs, the preparation: boiled, angry with garlic and red pepper... read more

Overall a nice Valentines Day Experience – We arrived about 10 minutes early for our 7:30pm reservation. The hostess was not the warmest individual I have ever met, but did politely ask us to wait at the bar while they prepared our table. We were seated promptly at a lovely little table tucked into a nook in the back of the restaurant. Perfectly romantic and secluded for our special night. Though our waiter wes not terribly quick (which was fine as we were not in a hurry at all), when he did arrive he was friendly and knowle... read more

not good – Went there for Restuarant week today. The bread was stale, shrimp raviolli was nasty, the crab cakes were very good but tiny (if this is just a sample because its Restuarant week, then you lost a customer because I feel it is always like that, not worth the second try). Key Lime pie was good. But would not go again

best crab cakes ever!!! – Me and some frindes of mine went to this place, lastnight for the first time, and it was a quite good experience. We made reservation for 8:30 p.m. and we arrived a little bit early, so we decided to seat at the bar, where the bartender was very kind and nice, and we have some delicious drinks. Then we went to the dinning room, and had the restaurant week menu; which was really tasty and reasonable.And included the best crab cakes I've ever ate!!!! The service was fantastic ,the wine list and the sp... read more

GREAT DEAL – MY FAMILY AND I WENT LAST NIGHT AND 6 OF US HAD A GREAT EXPERIENCE. SOME OF US ORDER OUT THE RESTARURANT WEEK MENU WHICH WAS SUPERB FOR $35.00 AMAZING CRAB CAKES, AND SOME OTHERS ORDER FROM REGULAR MENU. THE OYSTER SAMPLER WAS GREAT AS WELL AS THE FLORIDA STONE CRAB CLAWS. I HAD A 20 oz LOBSTER TAIL STUFFED WITH CRAB MEAT THAT WAS OUT THIS WORLD. THE WINWE LIST IS VERY GOOD, BUT THE BEST OF ALL WAS THE SERVICE, OUR SERVER WAS VERY NICE AND KNOLEGABLE. GOOD MUSIC!!
