    My delight at being gifted a glass of Prosecco to celebrate Mother's day just as we sat down was followed by pleasure with the delicious food. Don't hesitate to try this restaurant. Regulars already know how good it is.

    Lovely place to eat, great food, cosy atmosphere and great service. We were made to feel very special as it was Mother's Day and they gave us a glass of Prosecco on the house and a mothers day gift card which was an unexpected and lovely touch.

    Excellent service, Food was very good and well presented A little expensive but all meals we’re higher end products - Tuna, Lobster, Halibut etc but the set menu was good value. Wine list is small with only a few glass options but very tasty. Small restaurant with a very nice atmosphere and excellent staff. Would definitely go back again.

    The quality in Lobstar remains extremely high and we had a lovely evening. We felt there had been quite an increase in menu prices at the same time as a reduction in menu choice and this was a bit disappointing as we have always loved our Lobstar nights out. The staff were extremely attentive.

    Food and service were excellent. Only small complaint was the lobster curry. Tasted delicious but the lobster itself was very small, really not much meat. Loads of muscles though and sauce was delicious

    Love the location and staff were amazing . Some serious work needed on the food or prices . Starters 17 and small - cocktails very limited (4 to choose) and very expensive) . Very limited menu all round and lobster was cooked well but again very small compared to for eg beef and lobster . Wouldn’t go again until they address prices and also menu
