   Rainy Friday evening in Carlsbad. Seated immediately for a 6:00 reservation at a table in the center of the room. Not very crowded so noise level was low. Emily was our server, greeted us cordially, noted our anniversary, and congratulated us. Ordered drinks and she brought bread. We both ordered Maine lobsters. They had run out of 1-1/4# lobsters so I had a 1-1/2#. Wife had Brussels sprouts which were delicious, and mashed potatoes. I had zucchini and a baked potato. Next time I would opt for the sprouts and a baked potato. Of course they give you those silly bibs and some tools for dismantling the lobster. Only downside is there weren't any picks for getting out the last morsels of meat. Comped us with a slice of key lime pie for dessert. Generous portion and quite tart, as is should be. Noise level rose as the room filled up and by the time we left at 7:30 it was moderate. Someone thought they needed to raise the music volume so we could all share our love for the Rolling Stones. Glad they figured out that was not a good idea. All in all a great meal with good service and just right for a special occasion.

   Great experience again!!! We were greeted when we walked in on this rainy night and were sat right away with the reservations that we had! The waitress was delightful and told us about some of the favorites she has and ask us if we had any questions. We ordered our food and it arrived promptly and cooked to perfection!

   The crème brûlée was curdled. Food was mid. Servers and workers were nice.
