A staff person at our hotel recommended Blue Lobster. I found the food pretty good but thought it was expensive. My opinion may be colored by the fact that the nonsmoking section is upstairs, and on a hot and humid night, it was very uncomfortable. The restaurant has a roof, but no walls, so it is open to the heat.... More

The menu was great, and the food was delicious. The service was just a little slow, not terrible, but the waiters were very attendtive while the food was being prepared. There was a live band that played traditional music, it was very nice evening at the Blue Lobster

Wait staff was attentive and food price worth it. We got a complimentary drink for dining with them. The atmosphere great. We sat upstairs so we were able to watch the main street. We look forward to going back.

Our driver recommended we eat at the Blue Lobster and it was such a great meal. The food was amazing and the service was even better. We had a large party and the server was on point the whole time. We highly recommend the Blue Lobster.

We had a wonderful meal. It was a little on the pricier side, but well worth it for a great meal. At the end, our server even brought us a shot, we had a great time!

Horrible, horrible, horrible service. We were seated upstairs (non smoking) in a very hot booth. Asked to move and we were moved to a cooler part of the restaurant immediately. It took forever for our waitress to come over and when she did she just stared at us expectantly, no introduction, explanation of the specials, or asking for our questions.... More

Dear costumer, We are very sorry you didn´t like Blue Lobster. Yes, sometimes to serve our dishes take time because we cook the dishes at the moment, but anyway we appreciate your feedback to improve our service. Thank you, Blue Lobster team More
