   The Smoking Lobster is one of our favourite places to eat on the Island for a special occasion, the food is outstanding with so many flavours. Cocktails are amazing too, especially the Wasabi Sour!! Highly recommend especially if you love seafood, lovely place and great service too.

   Excellent friendly and welcoming service from the moment we arrived. The Smoking Lobster staff looked after us brilliantly and made my wife's birthday really special. We sat where we chose (window overlooking the beach), they made a special savoury birthday "cake" as requested (and did not charge!), and were just lovely. Oh - and both the food and the cocktails were the best ever! Thank you!

We're thrilled to hear that you felt well looked after, from the special birthday "cake" to your preferred seating by the window with that lovely beach view. It's wonderful that both the food and cocktails were to your liking. We're delighted we could make the occasion extra special for you both. Looking forward to welcoming you again soon!

    A fantastic dining experience as always. The small plates menu was a change but the quality and choice remained exceptional. It is a privilege to have such a fine restaurant on Ventnor Esplanade.
