Service was excellent, but when our food was brought out we received a $30 lobster roll that was the size of an appetizer. Not a big deal, tasted great, but then when the lobster Mac and cheese arrived with a single piece of lobster in it ($24), I made a joking comment to the waiter about how ridiculous that was and he agreed, says he deals with it a lot and even took 50% off our bill for the Mac and cheese which he didn't need to do. Will never be going back because of the food.

The food was very bad, it's a lobster bar, but on the plate were just a couple of pieces of lobster. We tried a lot of different dishes and was the same problem Also, the server was very bad, spill the wine on my friend, forgot our order, was difficult to communicate with him.
