The Lobster Trap in Asheville is known for its fresh lobster and is a popular spot for seafood lovers. The lobsters are kept in a tank and served fresh, and the cocktails are fun and enjoyable. The seating is comfortable, and the window seats are particularly popular. Parking is available in the parking garage or on the street, but there is a cost either way.
One of the standout dishes is the lobster stuffed mushroom, which has a good overall taste. However, the cheese can be a bit overcooked and there could be more lobster. The scallop dish is another popular choice, with perfectly cooked scallops, but the portion size is relatively small for the $39 price tag. The pork served with the scallops is dry and lacks flavor, and the potatoes are not cooked thoroughly.
The lobster Newburg has a delicious flavor, with juicy and buttery lobster and a divine sauce. However, the green beans need more time to cook and lack seasoning. The mango margarita is a must-try, with a unique and delicious flavor. The service is excellent, with knowledgeable and attentive staff.
While the food is generally good, some reviewers felt that the dishes were lacking in completeness and cohesion. Additionally, the cocktail ice dilutes the drinks and a better quality ice is recommended. Overall, the Lobster Trap is a solid choice for seafood in Asheville, but there may be better options for lobster and scallops at other fine dining establishments.
