    I got the lobster roll, I found this dish very filling. After having the tuna poke, it was a bit too rich for me, but if you are very hungry it should be good. Portions are well served. Tuna poke was fresh and full of flavour. My boyfriend found the potato chips a bit too salty, but that is a preference, next time he will ask for less salt on them. Overall experience was positive, very relaxing, intimate and friendly. Recommend.

    Exceptional food. We return to this restaurant time and time again. The food is always outstanding. Generous portions and the seafood is incredible. The staff are so welcoming and service is seamless. It is a small space but very well orchestrated.

    Lobstar is so consistent in its delivery of fabulous food and service. We had a special of mussels and the tuna poke to start, followed by the black sole to share. Everything is divine!
