While the service could use some improvement—our table wasn’t fully cleaned when we were seated, it took quite a while to get water, and our server (though very friendly) forgot to enter our appetizer order—the incredible Lobster Melt made it all worthwhile. We ended up saving a few calories (and a bit of money!) thanks to the mix-up. I’d definitely go back for that melt, though we might opt for takeout next time!
