    This was our first time going to Lobster Shack. The place was decorated for Christmas and what a wonderful job that was done. Made the atmosphere awesome and festive. Our server Mara was excellent. We had 2 appetizers, crab cakes and ricotta balls in a vodka sauce. They were the best we have had. Our entree's were excellent as well. Hot Lobster roll, Broiled scallops, Broiled Cod and Shrimp Florentine. We will definitely be heading back to Lobster Shack soon.

    Visited for first time and truly enjoyed my lunch. Christmas decor is fantastic. Looking forward to visiting in the warmer months to dine with the ocean view.

    We had a wonderful evening. The food was delicious and the place was decorated beautifully for Christmas. Nick Fradiani Sr was playing which added to the overall atmosphere. I had the Cioppino and it was very good. My wife had the lobster roll and it was a great size and she really liked it as well. We will definitely be going back!

    They have a great menu with a lot of great seafood options. We got the hot lobster rolls, lobster bisque and clams casino. I have to say everything was great and we left there wondering why we had not been there before. We will definitely be back.

    I made a reservation for my husband and myself for 6:00 for outside seating. We arrived at 6:00pm, they said they did not have our reservation, and had no regard for Open Table. They sat us at the only outside table which was 5 feet from the street. The host was useless, and did not care that we had made a reservation. He told us they had no reservation under our name. The only saving grace was our waitress Jennifer. She was lovely, and did everything she could to make a positive experience out of bad situation. Thank you Jennifer! You saved our evening!
