The Lobster Club, a Japanese Brasserie by Major Food Group, is a fixture within Midtown Manhattan's iconic Seagram Building. Designed by architect Peter Marino in collaboration with MFG, the dynamic space reflects an outstanding – perhaps extravagant - interpretation of Japanese cuisine. Using classic techniques like tempura, gyoza, yakitori and robata, along with a focus on Teppanyaki and Sushi, The Lobster Club sources fish directly from Tokyo's Tsukiji market to ensure the highest level of quality. Everything on the menu is designed to be shared, encouraging a spirit of informal fun.

    Remarkable sushi and poke. I’m still dreaming about the mushroom salad and spicy cucumbers! We happened to find it on Open Table and I’m now hosting a business dinner tomorrow for 6.

    Service was incredibly helpful and friendly while not being intrusive. Had spicy cucumber salad, coconut shrimp, shrimp fired rice, and chef's choice sushi. Each was delicious. Restaurant has a really interesting vibe and a sound level allowing for conversation. Exceptional experience.

    We were attracted to the restaurant by proximity to our hotel and good reviews. We love Japanese food and hoped this would be a good example of this type of cuisine. We were more than impressed by our experience. Each of the orders for appetizers, salads, and entrees were enough for two and we did our best to finish them. Surprising presentations with great flavor greeted us along the way. The waiter help us make good choices and was attentive a well. A beautiful room, great energy, and attractive guests filled the place with an energy that added to the night. Highly recommend.

    Much better experience for lunch than dinner. A little touristy at dinner. At lunch, not one tourist.
