    Food was phenomenal! Steak was tender, seasoned well and the scallops were delicious! The salmon was the best I’ve ever had! Cajun seasoning was slightly spicy and the cream sauce was so decadent. The crab legs were the winner! So incredibly fresh! Would only recommend more options for sides. Will return 100%!

    I was skeptical. Wow was I surprised. This a fantastic restaurant. I grew up in the area and was back to visit family. This place is charming and the food was delicious. Seriously the best lobster bisque I have ever had. Unreal. The lobster claw was as big as my hand. All around A+ and we can’t wait to return on my next visit from Florida with the rest of my family. Thank you!

    First time at The Lobster Lounge, and it didn't disappoint. The bartender, Gabby, was friendly and great. The drinks were made perfectly (Gin and Tonic and Titos Espresso Martini). For appetizers, we both ordered the lobster bisque, which was amazing, as was the clams casino. The crab cakes and lobster ravioli were noticeably fresh and loaded with crab and lobster meat accordingly. We will definitely be back to try other menu items once Summer is in full swing and they have their full menu available.

    had dinner on a wednesday night at lobster lounge and it was PACKED! for good reason! we were able to snag the last table but would highly recommend a reservation moving forward especially on a weekend. everything from drinks to dessert was spectacular and the service was top notch. scallops, lobster ravioli, seafood pot, surf and turf - excellent. highly recommend trying a specialty drink too if that’s your thing! it’s a great place for large parties, date nights, and they even do private events. i look forward to returning.

    Great location with broad windows overlooking the ocean and ride pier directly on seaside heights boardwalk. Staff is very personable and friendly. The chef even came out and asked how everything was. The manager was very accommodating and friendly as well. Our bartender/server Gabby was great Now the food, was nothing of what I was expecting. It was top shelf cookery. We ordered the lobster bisque soup, clams casino, crab cakes and lobster ravioli. Everything was prepared with exquisite care. Bisque was creamy and full of lobster with no fishy aftertaste, with a mildly sweet undertone. Crab cakes were perfect, not breaded just straight forward crab cake crisped the way it should be. Lobster ravioli was surprisingly flavorful with a truffle sauce. Enough sauce to last to the last drop. I was even able to add it atop my baked potato. Clams casino was great as well. Everything we ate was bursting with flavor. Straight down the the tito espresso martini with 3 coffee bean. We thought we were going in for a burger experience and found ourselves enveloped by 4 star cuisine. Yes would highly recommend, can't wait for the season to start to try the full menu. We will be making this a regular spot for dining.

    I like the atmosphere and the outdoor view. My server was very attentive and friendly which make the food experience more enjoyable. The oyster and clams was fresh but the they should rinse them out a little better because they were gritty and some was still a little dirty. The NY steak was very juicy and I love their steak butter! It is really delicious, their lobster bisque was tasty as well. Would come back and the price is fair for a restaurant right on the boardwalk!
