This is a solid Three stars. The food was fresh but the cost is outrageously high.I had the naked lobster sandwich and a small bowl ( cup) of clam chowder.The chowder was rich and creamy and red but I didn’t see any lobster bits in it. Mainly corn. I think I the name comes from the fact that they use the shells to create a broth to make the bisque. The Sandwich had a good amount of bits of lobster, but because I ordered the naked one, it was not dressed next time I will definitely order the dressed sandwich. The chips were excellent.

This place is good, charming atmosphere and quick service. However for the price you are paying the lobster roll is just ok. The roll tastes more of the buttered bread. You have to really focus on the taste to find the flavor of the lobster. The chips that came with it were rather bland as well. Really the only well flavored item was the coleslaw, which was delightful. The portion size was decent, but for a price of $40 I want it to taste just a bit better.

Dumb expensive but best lobster I've had West of the Mississippi.If you don't mind paying $40 for a sandwich and you're craving lobster like they have in New England this is your spot.
Got a dressed lobster sandwich. I felt it was a little lacking in amount. From the pictures it looks like you get more if you dine in. There's a sfo airport tax in my opinion that adds about $10+ to the price. Absolutely nothing wrong with the sandwich itself other than the size.Parking: The parking lot in the back is very small and there's not much street parking.

Good price on the special of the day but quality of course not as good as the regular lobster plate, while the oysters is very small for the happy hours period which I trust the normal time period ones will be better or larger.

Great spot and very fresh seafood! Had the Monday lobster special, super fast service and lobster was cooked lovely. Just could have done with a little seasoning, especially on the potato chips! Great value and will definitely be back!

The lobster and crab are always fresh. My favorite are the crab tacos with cole slaw and house-made chips. Always so flavorful. My husband loves the lobster tails, perfectly cooked and served with a roll and melted butter. Adequate wine selection, better beer selection. Good service!
By far the BEST meal I have so far in the US! Lobsters are so fresh here and their housechips are awesome!! Of course it’s a pricey meal ($40 before tips and taxes for a naked lobster roll) but I’m really satisfied. Highly recommended! Must try!!

Beyond outstanding food and service. The quality and freshness of their seafood is what makes this place a gem. Their weeknight deals are totally worthwhile and make for a great weeknight date! It’s also family friendly with high chairs and self seating both indoor and out. Yum! I’ll keep coming back.
The taste and quality of the food does not match the pricing. They do have a sign posted upon entry that they’ve increased their seafood prices. However, close to $40 for a half lobster roll (maybe 4 bites) and a cup of soup is ludicrous. It definitely felt like a major rip off, like pouring money down the drain. ??? I’ve had better lobster rolls; was expecting much more here. The buns were cold and super dense. Their homemade potato chips are worthy. I wish they had just lobster bisque by itself- the lobster corn chowder had way too much corn for my liking and sort of overshadowed the lobster flavor.They are definitely busy! During our observations, we noticed many people would walk in and immediately grab a table, which you are not supposed to do. The host should sit you. However, it went completely unnoticed, and many people in line had to wait for longer periods of time because it was not properly monitored.I rate it 3 stars for overall experience. I would like to return and try something else on their menu and maybe it will increase my star rating. The biggest thing for me was the quality did not match the pricing.
