    This place is excellent. The o my reason we gave food a 4 star is because the Angry lobster is the best and what we get all the time!! However, the last couple of times the taste is different . For example not enough garlic and flavoring like the crushed red pepper flakes. The garlic not cooked enough . This changes the flavor a lot. I never complain to them and understand maybe the person cooking might be new but it’s only fair to let them know. :) would change a thing about continuing going. Sometimes we go every week! Great place and the staff and management is so kind!!!

    This restaurant never disappoints for not only the wonderful food, but the excellent service. Some think it is a little pricey, but I am telling you I don’t really think it is because you are getting a special night out. The food is absolutely superb. We frequent this place often and it is our absolute favourite and has been for years. Definitely worth every single penny and probably even more.
