Well first of all the food was sub par in terms of service I was treated like a mere peasant. speaking of peasants the unwashed masses were allowed to walk through the outside section. Talk about bang for your buck this place is more like bang bang no Bucky sucky. Thanks for coming bish

The Lobster Cave is one of those places that has an amazing reputation and I was intrigued to finally get to try it after years of wondering what it’s actually like. We had a lovely lunch here and of course indulged in their seafood delights. I had a bowl of mussels to start followed by scallops in cheese sauce, with a bonus side of lobster tail. It was all lovely, fabulous and beautifully presented. Service is slick and professional, and overall this restaurant has a relaxing atmosphere. For me though it loses a star because their menu is one of the most convoluted and un-readable I’ve seen in a long time. There’s about 3 different lunch menus and it’s not easy to see the options available. They’d be better off doing a lunch menu and a la carte.

Be prepared to wait 2hrs + for your food. Muscles were very average but the lobster tail was amazing.

First time visit. Exceptional, warm, attentive, friendly service. Great intimate atmosphere, perfect for spending with family and good friends(and dates!). Not suitable for kids. And finally, generous serves of tasty, fresh food. The duck was awesome, and though the crème brûlée is thicker than what we’re used to, it was also one of the best!

First Impression: Beautiful! Service: Flawless Food: Great Ambience: Fantastic Value for money? Depends, it is quite exy. When we went in, we were greeted by a friendly(maybe over-friendly?) waiter who saw the reservation sheet and took us to a table. He waited while I took off my coat and placed it on the chair. He noticed I shivered from the draft of wind as the door opened and asked if we would prefer to sit someplace else. I said ‘yes’ and he took us to a perfectly positioned table. I was already pretty impressed by then — everything was spectacular — the décor, the way the tables were organised, the soft music, the overall ambience and the attentiveness of the staff. The waiter knew it was my birthday and address me as ‘the birthday girl’ the whole time and made me feel super special. The wine was good, the food was great and the settting! Oh the setting! It was truly gorgeous. I am a sucker for good service and a nice place. We were there for nearly 3 hours, chit chatting, eating the 3 course meal and sipping on the red. Was great! My partner took me there for my Birthday. I have to say, it was dfinitely as good as I would have expected for my birthday dinner to be! He had a Groupon Voucher and paid a little bit extra for some sort of an upgrade which included wine. It was still fairly expensive but so are lobsters.

There interior decorating was stunning, service was fantastic. Was placed next to a very loud talkative couple. Felt uncomfortable asked to be moved and was attended to straight away. Most the food was delicious and the value was a little overrated! :)

I’ve been here many times before and was never disappointed, particularly with the service. Last Sunday I took my friend here. It was for a gift that I bought her for her birthday off a Groupon deal. For $ 60 for two, we received a 3 course meal and a glass of wine. I could not fault my food. Seared Tuna with a beetroot salad and for main, grilled Atlantic salmon with creamy mash and a lemon buttery sauce. Desert was a crème brûlée. We of course had starters with a plate of dips and crusty bread and a few cocktails. We loved it. We dined outside as inside was busy but I do recommend if you get a chance to dine indoors as the place is surrounded by fish tanks. Lobster cave know how to do their seafood and I recommend it very much. Oh! We also got a $ 50 voucher off our next meal. If you get a chance, spend a Sunday lunch there and go for a walk along Beach road and check out the beaches.

This restaurant was, I have to admit, a bit disappointing. The décor is very elegant and classy, the wait staff was very polite, and our party of 12 was seated very quickly. The pros: The food portions were very generous, and everyone’s dishes were delicious. I had the Malibu Chicken in Chardonnay Sauce with a side of Potato Gratin and my boyfriend had the lamb shoulder, prawns, and the lobster tail top up on mash. The cons: The wait to have our order taken and the subsequent wait to get our food served was far too long. Additionally, we constantly had to wait or ask for more water or wine. The food is definitely worth the price tag, but I can’t say I would be back. Personally, I believe customer service should be top notch(especially when paying so much).

Nice food, but nowhere near worth the price tag. We had the Chef’s set menu($ 90 pp), which was the cheapest way to eat(a la carte entrees were $ 45, mains up to $ 200 from there). The serves were generous, the food was nice, service was nice, but if I’m going to spend that sort of money I’d rather go somewhere else.

Confirmed my previous experience and exceeded it. Good choice of seafood dishes but also steaks and other selections. Adequate servings, attentive waiters and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended.
