Horrible food! I dine out 6 nights a week in NYC and this is the 1st time I have participated in restaurant week. I was surprised to read some of the glowing reviews for this place when my experience was so bad. The shrimp cocktail was very poor quality and the lobster was awful - the clams and mussels were so dry so I didn't eat them. Even the little pc. of corn on the cob was overcooked and dry. If I were at a different restaurant or it wasn't restuaruant week, I would have returned all of it. The only reason I didn't is b/c I was out w/ a few people that I hadn't seen in a while so I didn't want to make a scene. Although I understand that the food is mass produced for these 2 weeks, it's not like the restaurant is giving it away for free. After wine/tip, it was still $100 per person. Total waste of money.
Cons: Poor quality food

I work down the street and decided to bring clients to City Lobster for dinner on Wed. We were a little early for our reservations and decided to have a drink at the bar. Though we did wait about 25 minutes the hostess was very sweet and kept letting us know where we were on the list. At first we thought they did not give us the special menu, but realized it was on the other side of the cocktail list. They had all these fun and inventive cocktails.... I had the "Flirtini" and my friend had the "Luscious Blossom". The men we were with of course just had Stella's! The three course meal was well worth it, big portions and fresh seafood. One of my clients had a Ny Strip Steak with was suprisingly very tasty. It was very busy, but we never felt neglected. Will have to someday try to eat a whole 2lb lobster!!
Pros: cocktails, service
