This restaurant exceeded all expectations! A definite must-visit for anyone in NYC craving exceptional food, service, and atmosphere.Starting with the ambiance, stepping through the revolving doors transports you into a world of elegance. The golden bar, stocked with top-shelf selections, catches the eye immediately. To the right, a chic cocktail lounge area adorned with rose gold velvet chairs invokes a nostalgic 70s vibe, complemented by tasteful gold accents. The red room at the back exudes glamour and sophistication with its rich red accents, creating an atmosphere of opulence. Even the bathrooms, with their beautiful and impeccably clean facilities, maintain the luxurious gold theme. Our choice of high top booths near the cocktail lounge allowed us to fully appreciate the architectural beauty and aesthetic charm of the restaurant. The Motown music added to the ambiance, setting the perfect mood for enjoying drinks and good company.Now, onto the customer service - our server Mary was simply outstanding. Her blend of humor, warmth, and reliability elevated our dining experience to another level. She went above and beyond to accommodate our dietary restrictions. Her attention to detail ensured that each member of our group felt catered to and comfortable throughout the dining experience. Celebrating my birthday, Mary's attentive service and infectious smile made the occasion even more memorable for our group of four.And then there's the food... where do I even begin? Each dish was a culinary masterpiece, leaving us wanting more with every bite. The flavors were so exquisite that I was tempted to lick the plate clean, but of course, I had to maintain my composure. I could rave about the entire menu, but some standout items that deserve extra praise include:Wasabi lobster********Lobster tempura roll (hand cut)********Wok lobster****Wagyu skewers*********Edamame*****Lobster dumplings***Spicy shrimp rice*******

The service was good here. The sushi wasn’t the best, but the only thing that was amazing. Was the Wagyu steak bites on the appetizers. That is the only thing that I would come back here for.

Our experience at Lobster Club was outstanding. Sari, our server, was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. The lobster dumplings were a tasty start, followed by a Kobe steak that melted like butter. The ginger dressing on the salad was exceptional, and the bass was cooked to perfection. The date cake was the perfect ending to a memorable meal. Can't wait to return for more!

Sushi was good, service was good, pleasantly surprised by quality of sushi. The wagyu skewers were excellent.
My family and I went to the Lobster club for dinner and in short it was amazing. The food was so unique but soo delicious, there wagyu dishes especially. Of course we had to get a lobster dish which we ended up getting two orders of, the restaurant itself is so beautiful. As soon as you walk in you see a beautiful scenery. The service was good cant complain about anything they were able to accommodate for my moms birthday and bring out a cake which was very nice and there dessert selection is very unique as well! Overall I would definitely come back, this restaurant is definitely on the pricer side but it definitely worth it once you take that first bite!

Such a fun date night! The atmosphere was so relaxed! The food was amazing. My fiancé and I order a ton of appetizers to share: truffle wagyu sando, chefs selection sushi, surf & turf roll and the lobster dumplings. All 10/10. For our entrees we also shared: wagyu skirt steak, Wagyu fillet, spicy shrimp fried rice and the scallops! Everything was great! Drinks were also very good. Our server was really nice, knowledgeable and answered questions we had about the menu. They take your order all at once and really provide great service!
It's basically Nobu with better ingredients and decor that looks like they went wild with mid-century design vibes.Very popular for investment banker power lunches.5 stars for the best kakigori I've had outside Japan.

Great atmosphere and service. Good was great, but a little overpriced. Probably wouldn't do the Wagu again as it's not really worth it. Sushi rolls and other dishes were perfect

This place was very nice inside as well as good customer service. the food was also very good but very much on the expensive side for example getting still and sparkling water was 10$ each so 20$ for water that no one informed us about. the wagyu skewers were my favorite the rest was also very good but not something i'd crave personally or need to have again. overall a good experience and i'd say go try it for yourself and see what you think .
The Lobster Club is absolutely brilliant! I love the ambiance, all the employees make you feel welcomed and are very sincere. Never was my drink empty, and the food, absolutely delicious!!!

The service and atmosphere are top notch, the food quality lags behind though, I'd expect more given the prices.
