Lobster Shop - Tacoma

We spent our 15th anniversary there and it was Fantastic, everything was perfect.The service was great.The food was great.The atmosphere was great.

Love to sit outside on the patio. The view is exceptional. It's just perfect for a great cocktail and some fresh clams.

My husband and I decided to celebrate my birthday with a lunch outing. It had been over two decades since I last visited the lobster shop in 2000. While we usually dine at Duke’s, we opted for a change this time. The service was welcoming and informative, with M giving us ample time to browse through the menu. To start, we tried two Shigoku and two Sunseeker oysters, along with crab cakes and lobster bisque. The Shigoku oysters were a highlight, although I usually enjoy champagne mignonette without ice. Nevertheless, the oysters were fresh and delightful. The crab cakes were another hit, with a perfect portion size for two. We both enjoyed the flavorful lobster bisque. For our main courses, we ordered the Lobster Tagliatelle and Halibut. The tagliatelle was scrumptious, and even though I usually prefer crab to lobster, the lobster in the pasta was well-prepared. The halibut was cooked to perfection. I found the flavor of the spring peas in the risotto slightly overpowering, but overall, the meal was fantastic. Once again, the server was outstanding, and despite a slight delay in receiving our main dishes, she kept us informed throughout.

Walked in and the first thing you see is a 20% service charge for all bills… I am fully capable of calculating my tip based on the level of service I receive. They call themselves fine dining yet I’ve never been to a high end establishment that advertises 20% added right in front of you.

We were very disappointed. Will probably not ever go back. Food was not very good or the service.
