Never gotten to try the food have to wait 30 mins to get seated then once seated waited another 30 mins for someone to come and get our orders but all servers just pass by us probably because theres only 2 of us and they trying to prioritize entertaining big groups instead as much as i would love to leave them a better rating on the food never got to try it so try it at your own risk
You know you never get tired of a mountain of lobster and an ocean of crab. A real Toronto showstopper. I think it's getting in the years so sometimes I worry it's falling out of favor with the kids these days. But I genuinely wish this place to prosper for as long as it can.
Honestly, the food the was NOT worth the price! I paid almost $400 for 3 people and the seafood tasted like a fish tank...a dirty fish tank that had not been cleaned in a while...
The atmosphere is alright at best lack luster. There's also a fish market smell when you walk-in and through out the entire restaurant. Some might argue it's because its a seafood restaurant...however I've been to other seafood places that don't stink. Even Red Lobster doesn't smell fishy! We did have a reservation and when we arrived there was a wait because no one was the front. Finally when someone came they couldn't find our reservation which caused another further wait! When we were finally seated it took more than 40 mins before someone finally came and took our orders! Mind you it was not busy as we came in at 2pm on Canada Day. We ordered the $250 platter and an order of fried rice plus 2 sodas. The customer service was lacking and by lacking I mean non-existent no one came to our table to ask if we needed anything or how we were enjoying our food. They did not offer us drinks so we spent 20 minutes trying to wave someone down to get some water and sodas! Also, they forgot to bring out the fried rice we'd ordered and again we had to flag someone to get any attention and then wait another while for our missing rice order to come. At the end the manager came and brought us vouchers for use the next time we came and also our bill which he explained already included a 20% tip...which I thought was interesting that the tip was conveniently included in the bill and we were never informed of this when we checked-in for our reservation or when our orders were taken. A 20% tip is excessive and not at all deserved considering the poor quality of service we received! I would've only given a 2% tip tbh...if even that...finally because I was paying with card there was another 15% service charge added to my total! Then the machine recognized my card a credit card instead of debit so they added another 3%! So our total bill went from $280 to $400! Not to mention the manager was rather rude about my paying with a card instead of cash! Overall like I mentioned the food is not worth the price. Is the food bad? No. But it is not $400 good either. The food was worth maybe $50 considering the quality of the seafood. I will NOT be coming back to this restaurant nor do I recommend it to anyone. The vouchers the manager gave us we left on the table because we will never step inside this place again. Save your money and eat elsewhere. There are better seafood restaurants in Toronto and also much cheaper options.

Excellent lobster! We got the set meal and it was more than enough for 4 people. The salted egg lobster was by far the best. It’s pricier but worth it. Service was just average though but I’m here for the food. It was hard to get their attention because they are just too busy.

Fishman Lobster Clubhouse is the kind of place that makes seafood feel both celebratory and comfortably familiar. If you want generous portions of classic lobster and seafood combos without pretense, this spot delivers. The food leans toward bold, straightforward flavors, the portions are hearty, and the atmosphere is lively and casual, perfect for family dinners, group takeout, or a seafood fix.

The food was good as usual, but the overall experience was disappointing. The restaurant was overcrowded, it felt very hot as if there was no A/C, and we had a long wait just to place our order. We had to ask multiple times for basic things like cold water and clearing used dishes. Despite the poor service, they still charged a 12% service fee. When we raised our concerns, the staffs simply said they were busy and didn’t seem to care. If that’s the case, don’t overbook or hire more staff.

Tea pot + chinawares + hot candle + tea leaves are amazing quality.
Lobster is small despite 3 pounds. Before, 3 pound lobster came out a lot more. Food quality is different. HK style lobster tastes a lot inferior than before, fries are big cuts, soft, and sweet instead of scrispy and thin, there are only a few pinch of dried garlic, just decoration. Mandaytory service charge even if a table for 2, a little shocking, credit card is charged 3% extra, cash is 5% discount. All and all, we felt like where is the Restaurant chef before ? Lost.
Excellent value for money if you want to eat seafood. Menu has mainly group combos based on lobster, steak, king crab, Vancouver crab, and steamed fish. Price for lobster is $35/lb. All the walls of the restaurant surrounded by lobster / crab aquariums and filet mignon slabs of beef on display. If you intend to order a la carte, the menu has only about 8 items, all based on the group combos. If you dont intend to order lobster or crabs as the main dishes, don't bother to go there. Average cost via combos varies from $80 - $140 per person plus HST and 10% service charge. This is a very big restaurant and reservations recommended.

We went there for family dinner and thoroughly enjoyed it. We had lobster combo for 8 people and it’s more than enough. Lobster is delicious, so are other dishes. The steak and fried rice could be more seasoned but still pretty good. Service is awesome. The restaurant is huge.

Did a walk in at Fisherman Lobster and it was good. The prices I thought was steep but the food was actually good. They brought out the live crab they were going to serve to our table to see if it was good for us. Was greeted with green tea right when we got sat to our table. Will be coming back again for sure.

Fishman Lobster Clubhouse Restaurant on Finch Avenue East in Scarborough serves an unforgettable seafood feast, though you will need plenty of patience. The establishment is famous for its iconic, towering mountains of deep-fried Hong Kong-style lobster and giant Alaskan king crabs.Without a doubt, the food is exceptional. The seafood is extraordinarily fresh—pulled straight from massive surrounding glass tanks—and prepared to absolute perfection with their signature Maggi sauce and garlic toppings.
However, the major downside here is the notoriously slow and chaotic service. Due to the massive crowds, servers can be hard to flag down, orders take a long time to arrive, and the staff often feels rushed or inattentive. Despite the frustrating wait times and subpar service, the spectacular flavors and theatrical presentation make it a worthwhile destination for patient seafood lovers.Watch the massive lobster towers being prepared and served fresh at this iconic spot
Great place to celebrate special occasions and for every day good deals. Get their lobster or crab set meals for best value. If you have a big table 6-8 people, you must get the lobster tower! But you’ll need to order at least a 6 lb lobster for this.
Cash or debit only. Pay cash to avoid transaction fee.
