We eagerly anticipated the opening of this new restaurant, and it did not disappoint. Upon arrival, the experience was reminiscent of a bustling In-N-Out drive-through in Las Vegas, with a long line of cars. Fortunately, we found a parking space right in front of the building and headed inside to try the food.
Having visited Portland, Maine, multiple times, we are familiar with authentic Maine lobster, and this place nails it. The restaurant was packed with people, and there were no physical customer service representatives to assist with ordering. Instead, there were three computer screens for placing orders. Once submitted, the order goes directly to the kitchen. Given that it was the opening weekend, the wait time for our food was about 30 minutes.
Inside seating is limited, with only two tables accommodating more than three people. Most are two-person tables, and although there are many tables outside, the extreme Las Vegas heat makes outdoor dining uncomfortable, especially since there is currently no shade.
When our order was ready, staff called out the name we input during ordering. It's worth noting that there are no staff to clean the tables, and a sign requests customers to clean up after themselves to help expedite the food preparation process. We ordered a warm lobster roll, chilled snow crab, chilled lobster, another chilled snow crab, and two hot honey fried lobster rolls. The lobster rolls were spot on, matching the quality of those served in Maine, and the food was phenomenal.
We’re thrilled about this new addition and hope that the current high demand will lead to more locations opening in other parts of Las Vegas, particularly in the north or northwest areas. This would help bring more business to the valley, as this location is in the very south of Las Vegas. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and look forward to returning once the initial rush has subsided—though given the deliciousness of the food, that may take a while.
Update: came back in Dec 2024 and the food was still amazing. No crazy crowds everywhere and it was very enjoyable.
