Good Lobster Restaurant in downtown Torotno?

[arkhe]

I have been a few Chinese lobster restaurants near Spadina. But the taste is bad even for the cheap price.

If you know good lobster restaurants, please share your information. Thanks.

Are you specifically looking for a Chinese restaurant with good lobster? or lobster restaurant in general?

Thansk for the question. I meant lobster restaurants in general. Actually, I don't like Chinese style lobster dish.

the last time i had one at The Keg it was really good and a large size.

You might want to check out the lobster trap. Home of the four pounder! But it's north of Lawrence which is not downtown as you specified.

Lobster is best when done at home, at least the way I like it anyways. Chinese restaurants tend to overflavour it and have it taste like any other fish/chicken dish.
$13/lb in a grocery store vs $30-40/lb at a restaurant....

10$/lb in chinatown

i think 6 or 7$ / lb in T&T for the giant lobsters

Can you get the two-for-one lobster deal ($26.95) alone, or do you have to order other dishes with it :razz:

[mushrooms]

has anyone actually tried a four pound lobster?

i would love to try one...but i'd imagine the meat wouldn't be as good as say... a one pound lobster...

[Anessa]

The meat should be the same...just bigger and more expensive lol

well..i'd figured it would be like oysters...the bigger it is..the crappier it gets..haha i dunno..

The only restriction I saw was that it was dine in only. No takeout. But the last time I was there the lobsters were kinda small. Can't be larger than 1 1/4 lb each.
