   Food was good but portions are small for the price. Ex. I got the king crab legs for $75. Instead of getting 2 legs like the menu says, I got one leg cut in 2 pieces.

   Although we've dined & enjoyed The Lobster Shop South for many years, the kitchen staff let us down on 2023 New Year's eve. Overall the food was underwhelming. I had the King Salmon but the butternut squash was served cold. I asked the waitress if it was supposed to be cold, she said no & took the plate to the kitchen, then returned saying the chef yelled at her and replied the squash was supposed to be cold & returned the plate to me as it was. My wife had the oven roasted sturgeon. We both tasted it & neither of us liked it. She didn't take another bite. The wait staff recommended the sturgeon to us but it wasn't very good. After approx. 10 min. the waitress returned with a scoop of warm butternut squash on a small bread plate for me. By that time my salmon was also cold. Our bill was $317 including tip. For the price, we expected delicious seafood and side dishes that complimented the meal. Unfortunately, our expectations weren't met & ruined our New Year's dining experience.

   Would wait for remodel to be completed before visiting this restaurant. Felt as if they were using up odds and end but we are still playing premium prices. I sent back my Crimini Mushroom Chicken. It has always been one of my favorite entrees. Not this time.

   We have been to the Lobster Shop several times and it has been outstanding every time. We are looking forward to our next visit.

   Everything was great! Service was the best I've ever had. The food was the best I've ever had. We tried somethings new to us and it was not a disappointment. They did not rush us which was a nice service.

   Great food and excellent service. Honor, our server, was fabulous. Too noisy with big parties on either side of us.

   Reliable as always. Amazing wait staff, food was great even though the kitchen was impacted by the King tide. We'll be anxious to visit once the remodel is completed.
