saw lot of good reviews about this restaurant.. & we went there for an early Valentine's Day dinner.. which was very full & satisfying..

we ordered the Live Lobsters Dinner, one Steamed & one Broiled.. 1 1/2 lb. for $39.75.. which included a basket of garlic rolls & your choice of one of the following: baked potato, french fries, rice or fresh garden salad (Caesar add $2).. & we picked the salad & the fries..

we actually added $7.25 extra to have the soup & a non-alcoholic beverage..
here's the Lobster Bisque & Clam Chowder.. both were yummy!!
lots of Lobster chunks in the Lobster Bisque & lots of ingredients in the Clam Chowder as well..
the Steamed Lobster was said to be "Succulent, Natural, Healthy, Pure & No additives"
the Broiled Lobster was said to be "Breaded, Buttered, Finished Golden Brown"
LG & i agreed that the Steamed Lobster was better; as it said, "more Natural" & fresh..
Some funny facts:
  • By the time a lobster reaches the weight of 1 lb., it's already 7 years old.
  • Lobsters will grow to phenmenal sizes, sometimes as large as 65 lbs., shedding their shells as they grow.
  • A female lobster lays approximately 30,000 eggs of which only about 10 lobsters survive to the 1 lb. weight.
