Stopped here for lunch on a rainy day. What a GREAT place! Had the lobster roll and Cole slaw. Wonderful big chunks of soft lobster on a toasted roll. Oooooooo! Cole slaw was really good slaw, minimal amount of Mayo and lightly seasoned. Nice touch! Had 3 Floyd's Gumballhead beer with it. One great lunch! Service was fast and friendly. Seriously, what more can you ask for in a restaurant? As Arnold said, 'I'll be back'

I can't say enough positive things about Court Street Lobster Bar. Sadly, they have announced they are closing due to pandemic-related economics. Last day 10/29. I am hopeful that they can reopen someday soon in the area. Food and service are amazing as always.

Great food but terrible service. The server gave me the menu . But the cook took my order , got my water, and served me my food after he cooked it . While she sat there twisting the curls in her hair .

Incorrect Order. Lobster meat over cooked. Will not return.

Went in on a Saturday night for a date before a music event. Service was super quick, friendly, and exactly accurate. Food was pretty good, not the best cod sandwich I've ever eaten, really heavy on the tartar sauce but the fry was good. Lobster bisque was creamy and rich, but who serves a great dish of soup with oyster crackers? Is this skyline? Overall, good food and I'll be going back!

Somewhat disappointed for the money they don't offer french fries just chips. I am ok with home made chips just not lay's out the bag. Oyster po-boy had more bread than anything 5 oysters. Al

SO yum! My husband tried the Connecticut Lobster Roll "Spicy" style and I tried the Maine Lobster roll, both were absolutely delicious. We also had oysters and the pimento crab dip which were perfect starters. We were seated immediately and they even had a high chair for our baby which was awesome. Our server was very friendly, food came out super fast and it tasted SO fresh. Totally recommend and we will definitely be back.

Conneticut Lobster Roll was delicious. Expensive but a very nice treat. Disappointed no oysters but sounds like they came in bad so better not to serve to customers. Love the place and decor!

Awesome spot in Cincinnati for fresh, delicious lobster dishes. It's a laid back, unpretentious spot with excellent service. All the staff are friendly and welcoming. They had some fun cocktails and the ones we tried were good. They also had a good selection of wines by the glass. I wasn't in the mood for a lobster roll but ordered the lobster Mac n cheese and the portion was much bigger than expected, especially for $14. The Mac n cheese was delicious and so cheesy and had tons of big chunks of lobster. Delicious, and great value for what you get. I did try a bite of a friend's lobster roll and it was great as well. Everyone loved what they ordered. Nothing bad at all about this place. Great food, great service, good value. Highly recommend checking it out.
This was my first time to dine at the Lobster Bar...I went as part of restaurant week and the food was outstanding. Seafood is fresh and perfectly prepared. You've never had pimento cheese dip until you have it with fresh seafood!

Excellent place to grab a lobster roll or salmon burger. You can tell that the owners have made sure every part of every dish is made to compliment each other. I loved the house made salt and vinegar chips, worth taking home q couple orders!

It was my first time back here since COVID started. Glad to see they're still going strong. Due to COVID and pricing, some of their usual specials were missing the the lobster rolls were all listed as MP. I was there with a colleague and customers. All enjoyed the lunch which included fried oysters, crab pimiento cheese dip, oyster po-boys, and salmon burger.

This was our first time trying this restaurant and we will return as well as recommend this to anyone traveling downtown Cincinnati needing a place to eat. The waitress was extremely kind, knowledgeable, and accommodating to all requests. The food was absolutely fantastic as well as the cocktails! The restaurant was clean and observing the Covid guidelines. We 4 had people in our party and each person cleaned their tray of food ( our order; Maine lobster roll, crab roll, lobster Mac and cheese, chowder, and the lobster grilled cheese). We will definitely be returning and we all truly thank the whole staff for their fantastic service!

Great staff, smiling faces, attentive & friendly!! This place has a welcoming, modern-beach town vibe right in the city! Excellent food, highly recommended! You get what you pay for-and a great lobster roll is PRICELESS!!!!
