The Lobster Trap receives regular shipments of cold water lobsters flown in fresh and live from Nova Scotia. Delicious, fresh lobster has been a Lobster Trap specialty for over 40 years. So often, what you remember as being great years ago, doesn't seem as wonderful today. However, the Lobster Trap's wonderful, fresh, sweet, lobster that you may remember in the past, will be every bit as great today. We recommend that you order the complete lobster dinner. This includes either the Lobster Trap's clam chowder or their famous lobster bisque, as well as potatoes or salad and a non-alcoholic beverage. The Lobster Trap has a friendly, casual atmosphere, reminiscent of the great seafood houses of the past
I go here fairly regularly because this place does it up right. It's not a huge place and gets packed fairly easily, so there have been times when I simply haven't gotten in, but you snooze you lose.
It is in an old victorian style home, taking up both floors. Downstairs seats a few tables and the main bar, while upstairs hosts a more casual atmosphere of games, chairs, etc....like you are in someones home. Decor is eclectic and funky, provides a nice touch to the visit.
Service is always good to above average, the staff are trained well, know their beers well enough, and are always smiling.
I've eaten here too many times to mention, but the wings are great, as is the cajun catfish sandwich. The wings are a great portion and the sauces are excellent. The catfish sandwich is spicy,savoury, very flavourful, well portioned, and well priced.
I like that they have Boneshaker on tap on a regular basis. In fact, they only serve craft beer which speaks to the quality of the establishment. Clientele is a mix of somewhat obnoxious college hipsters and hippies that think they are re-living Woodstock for some reason, but I don't have to like them to like the place. Keep up the great work! Great place!Read more
The restaurant interior is reminiscent of art deco ocean liners, recreated in a decidedly contemporary fashion.An interesting collection of art work adorns the wood panel and suede walls.
