I
love seafood
especially lobster, but up until this point I hated
Burger & Lobster! After hearing so much about it and waiting
2 hours to eat, it was
very underwhelming. A number of things contributed to my bad experience: first the wait, although we went away and came back, I hate waiting for food. Secondly I was seated in the aisle and not the booth, which again I hate
and we were right by the kitchen- I would have made a fuss however there was no alternative seating.
As you can imagine I was
extremely irritable by the time I was ready to order. Then as per the waiter's advice I order my lobster
grilled, which turned out to be a
big mistake! He ensured us it was the better option and promised it would be flavoursome, instead we received dry, chewy, possibly overcooked lobster. My friends and I came to the conclusion that either the general public had poor taste buds, or they sold us dreams on Instagram because the food was so bland that we
needed the sauce and even resorted to using ketchup!
I say all this as a prelude to my most recent visit to a
different branch where the dining is
much more comfortable, and instead I ordered the
steamed lobster which was
much better. I'm still not a
huge lover of
Burger and Lobster, but I would go back as it's perfect for a day out shopping/a casual lunch. You can't beat the price either...I may even try the Lobster Roll next time as I
love Brioche. This should give me my lobster fix until I'm in the tropics!
Of course a dinner date would not be complete without dessert...
