  • 🍴🦞 Lobster Tuesdays 🦞🍴

    Multiple dates available
    🦞✨ Say hello to Lobster Tuesdays! Because who said indulgence has to wait for the weekend? 🤔 Join us to indulge in 1.25lb fresh whole lobsters with potatoes, half a corn on the cob, lemon, and lots of butter for just $24.99 !!! ⚠️ ****** Reservations are required to guarantee a lobster, as we order them fresh based on bookings. Our full regular menu is still available, and not everyone at the table needs to order lobster. Walk-ins are always welcome and we’re happy to try to accommodate walk-in lobster requests if we have extras, but availability can't be guaranteed without a reservation. ****** ⚠️ So grab your crew, double-dip with our usual Happy Hour specials, and make Tuesday your new favorite day to indulge. Frugal AND fancy? That’s a vibe. 💃🕺

    Overall, the meal was good for the price. The hot food on the buffet was warm. I was a bit disappointed by the size of the dining room and my table for 9 was squeezed together at a table that really was made for 6-8. The omelet station and prime rib was delicious and hot. The carrot cake and red velvet cake were moist (a little too much frosting for me) and very generous slices. I’m not sure if I would go again but it was a nice Mother’s Day brunch.

    Very disappointing night. I booked a couple weeks in advance for lobster Tuesday dinner (specifically chose the option at booking). We order and 10 minutes later they tell us they are out, it is their mistake, they will comp dinner if we see something else we would like. We stay because we need to feed the kids still and have just ok fish n chips. Then we notice a table that came after us gets lobster dinners brought out. We decide to just finish our food and call this night a loss. Get the bill and at first nothing was taken off. Then server says let me take your drinks off (we only had 3 drinks, again just mediocre) and apologizes for their mistake again. I explained at that point how disappointing it was to see people after us get the dinner so she goes back to the bill and gives a small discount and assures me management is being told about this mishap. Not feeling like arguing any further with the kids with us I stupidly paid even though we were told our food would be taken care of. We could have understood an honest mistake from the kitchen but then seeing it still being served and then lying about taking care of our food was what ruined the night for us.

    Dear Shayna, we want to sincerely apologize for the disappointing experience you and your family had during your visit. Unfortunately, due a system error, we ended up with double the expected number of early reservations, which caused confusion and miscommunication between our kitchen and service teams. We completely understand how seeing lobster go to other guests after being told we were out must’ve felt very unfair and frustrating. Please know our intention was never to mislead you, but rather our communication clearly suffered on a night where our team was overwhelmed and scrambling - although this is no excuse. We will be reaching out to you directly to make this right. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience, and we look forward to connecting with you further.
