    Food was great. Even though we had a reservation there was still a little wait. Service was great & fast. I would recommend & will be returning.

    Finally made it to Tom’s Oyster Bar and I must say it was worth the wait! The Fried lobster sushi is to die for! Treat yourself and check them out, you won’t be disappointed at all.

    Our service was exceptional, food and drinks was really good. I had an issue with my first dish, and the waitress and manager made sure that I was absolutely satisfied before I left. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

    Don’t waste your time. Our service was excellent, however, the food was terrible. All the lobster lovers posts on IG had to be paid. We ordered a sushi roll and the shrimp on top was hard, Cajun jambalaya (only 4 shrimp), and the worst of them all, the seafood paella. Not a salt, nor pepper in sight. It was completely bland and tasteless. So disappointed.

    We went for the Lobersterfest and were disappointed. Almost all the dishes were overly salted. We returned one. The preparation of the seafood, was nothing special. The paella's shrimp and calamari, were barely prepped or seasoned and without flavor. The vibe was great and so was our service. At any price point, I won't be returning soon.

    We come here only on special occasions and because we have several coupons from restaurant.com. We had the lobster tacos, lobster carbonara and split a bowl of clam chowder. Everything was excellent. However, they should include lime wedges instead of lemon wedges for the lobster tacos. Our server, Garrett was exceptionally good. They gave my wife a huge slice of rainbow cake for her birthday which was nice of them.

    Great experience and customer service. Sitting area a little tight. Food pretty good, obviously some items better than others. We came for Lobster fest and most items were superb. Some items have weird sauce, so make sure you ask, if your aren’t sure and you can substitute.
