We stopped here for a quick business lunch and had an excellent service from our server Brian. This time the highlight of this lunch was the dessert. They were absolutely out of this world. I could not say the same about the lobster roll. My friend strongly suggested it and we all ordered the same. The mini roll came with a disproportionate amount of fries . It seemed that they soaked the roll in butter and the lobster was very chewy. The Asian shrimps and the wedge salad we ordered as appetizers were much better than the rolls . I managed to finish my roll and some fries but my friends only had one bite and a few fries .

My girlfriends and I dined here on 3/8/25. We decided to splurge on the seafood platter/tower special and it was amazing. The service and atmosphere was top notch. The lobster was absolutely delicious. Only thing I wasn't crazy about was the stuffing in the lobster. Ordered the mashed potatoes and Brussel sprout sides - they were pretty good but nothing extraordinary. Cheesecake was yum!

Valet is $10 and definetely tje way to go. When we arrived they had our table ready as we made reservations prior. We started with Mineral Water, Rose Prosecco and a Beef Carpacio. The wine and Carpacio were very good. I ordered the 2lb Lobster with crab stuffing, brussel spouts and a Salad. My lobster was excelent! Loved every single bite. Brussels where ok and the salad was not a fan. My wife ordered the Twin Australian Lobsters tails. They were amazing! So good. My daughter ordered the Seared Seasame Ahi Tuna and she loved it. The desert was delicious. Great place for a special ocasion or a date night.

Lobster Bar is a unique restaurant with a sister location in Buckead Atlanta Ga. As in the name they have an encredibke selection of different lobster from around the world. Depending on season of course. One complaint was oysters seemed quite small for the season but they were delicious. No grit or anything in them. A5 Wagyu filet is available in any amount starting at 2 ounces. Shareable of course. The crab cakes taste as good as any I've had outside of Maryland. Sides of brussel sprouts and french fries were good selections too. The south African lobster was perfect as well as the sea bass served on a rice cake. Would highly recommend for a fancy or special occasion dinner.

Very nice and pretty upscale surf 'n' turf place, with a lively bar. It is pricy , but has excellent atmosphere and delightful decor, with a touch of a yachting experience. Good selection of starters and main courses with seafood, lobster and good cuts of steaks. Private room and a private bar for private functions and corporate events. See photos. An outdoor but coveted patio for nice Florida winters is also very delightful.

Food was great and so was the service. The ambiance is nice and definitely more dressy. Recommend the carpaccio, tartare, and they make a great martini 🐟🥩🍸. I'd go back if I was in the area again.

Food was delicious! Shrimp with shrimp cocktail were so fresh. Octopus appetizer was tender and had a great lemon flavor. Filet was cooked wonderfully and fried lobster tail that we added on had a great flavor. Crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside. Lobster bisque was smooth and creamy. Drinks were wonderful! One of the best dirty martinis I've ever had. Service was good. Ambiance is perfect. The restaurant was so beautiful inside and I love all the details.

Always a great experience, especially when James is our waiter. He greets us always with a smile. Very personable! Definitely in great hands!

We visited the Lobster Bar to celebrate my mom's birthday and were so well taken care of. It's a beautiful restaurant, very high class, with over the top decor. We had the steamed lobster, lobster risotto and a couple of vegetable sides. The food was divine and the lobster portions were very generous. It was excellent service through and through and they gave my mom free dessert to celebrate. We would definitely return! Great place for a special dinner or celebration with lots of amazing seafood options.

We met another couple here and had a great time and awesome lunch. Seated on the outer part of the restaurant patio, nearest the beach, the breeze blew in and kept us cool (well, sorta. This is Florida during "climate change.") Our waitress was a riot and fired back whenever we kidded her. The menu is casual and didn't disappoint. A real plus when getting together with friends to catch up: it wasn't noisy. Just the right amount of noise, in fact. Ya gotta have some noise for ambience. We'll be back. Next weekend. We're gonna show this place off!

Was the best meal!!! Johnathan was super attentive! Took great care!! We didn't have a resy and sat 4 of us right away Order the fried lobster!!! Even if it's not on the menu!

As a seafood lover I couldn't wait to try this place out. Walking in the door the vibes and ambiance were great! We had to wait in the lounge area until all of our group arrived to be seated. In that time I had a cocktail and appetizer. The bartenders on the lounge side were super friendly and helpful in recommending menu items. The drinks and the lobster morsels were a HIT! Had me so excited for the main course once seated. However it fell flat. The lobster risotto was very bland. That was the general consensus of us all who ordered the same entree. Our server however was very personable and accommodating as well. I opted for the pavlova for dessert which was great but had no fruit topping which I'm used to. Overall we had a great time. I'd return for happy hour or to visit the kings for drinks and happy hour but probably not for the dinner. Especially at the price points.

We had our Holiday Party at the Lobster Bar, prominently looking on Las Olas Boulevard in the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale. This is a wonderful restaurant and the food is so amazing. We were seated in the private dining room and the servers assigned to assist us were fantastic. My drink glass never got below half a tank and everyone had a wonderful time. I started with the Lobster Bisque and I enjoyed it very much. Was both creamy and delicious. For the main course I had the Faroe Islands Salmon served with potato purée, asparagus, tomato, capers and sorrel nage. This selection was really good as everything worked so well together with nothing dominating anything else on the plate. The salmon was cooked perfectly and I enjoyed everything very much. The dessert offered was LBSG Warm Chocolate Hazelnut Cake. This dish was both visually appealing and it was delicious, if not a bit decadent. Nevertheless, it's the Holiday Season so we can throw caution to the wind and enjoy ourselves!

Lobster Bar is the restaurant and bar to be seen on Las Olas in Fort Lauderdale. This upscale dining establishment offers a high end yet casual atmosphere. They brought to our table a warm bread service with butter. We started with the Jumbo Lump Crab Cake $29, the table side warm Spinach Salad $16 and the Sea Scallops $39. Everything was delicious.

Always amazing! Staff and food. I wanted a martini that was not on the menu and my waitress happily returned with the exact martini i wanted! The steaks are just as good as the sea food. Don't miss out on those.

This is an upscale restaurant which was nice for a lunch business meeting. We were greeted upon entering, and it was not very busy on a Wednesday. Our servers were not wearing name badges, but they were numbered 567 and 300. I felt it was a little impersonal and not sure what the numbers stood for. The service was good except when I ordered the Crab Cake Platter, I had asked for some hot sauce which never appeared. Either way, the crab cake had literally no filler and a nice fresh crab flavor. The fries and salad that accompanied were basic and could have been a little more creative. The others at the table ordered the salmon, which was a huge portion on top of quinoa, and the fresh catch of the day with a side salad and 3 small potato cakes. The catch of the day was fluke, which was described to be like a flounder. Our meals were served with complimentary fresh baked rolls and butter and a choice of sparkling or still water. The white table cloths were a nice touch to the upscale vibe, but I wish that the overhead music was a little lighter and less club feeling. Overall, it was a nice lunch, but I think this place is better for a casual event over a romantic date or a fine dining event.

I truly enjoyed my experience and the food here. The only downside was there was a hair in the oysters, however the staff quickly took the oysters away and replaced them. Given the type of restaurant I do believe they should have made a bigger deal. I went here for my SIL's birthday with two friends. We had a reservation but we were promptly seated upon arrival. The food was delicious, and the risotto was yummy, however I will say, I've had better. I would go back but it wasn't memorable or outstanding.

Have passed by here a million times for years and have always said one day we'll try this place. Ugh - why did it take me so long! First off - no happy hour. Why? No need. This is a classy place where price shouldn't be the first thing on your mind. The steps, the doors and wow the ambiance. Classy and elegant, yet modern and hip. Grab a seat at the bar and greeted by one of their savvy bartenders. A few cocktails to consider if not they'll make you something crafty depending on your mood. Transfer the bar tab to the table... Table for two sitting right by the window with a view of Las Olas' finest or questionable people on the street. If you like people watching as you dine, definitely ask to be seated there. Natalia, our server was absolutely wonderful. Full of knowledge, very attentive and recommended a lobster served poblano peppers chili sauce. We also wanted meat so surf and turf it is - NY Strip. But first, the charred octopus. Probably one of the best. Nice chunks of octopus seasoned perfectly in EVOO and capers(?). So much, we left the dish behind to be able to soak our bread in the sauce. Ok - let's leave room for the rest of our food. Main course - surf & turf. The lobster was smaller than expected but I could get steamed lobster anywhere. The sauce of poblano peppers gave it just a hint of spice at the end but extremely savory - this is coming from someone who isn't really a fan of lobster this one was on point. But, the real star was the NY strip. Cooked medium to medium rare, sliced a little char at the end but very flavorful. Add the lobster sauce and bam! Dessert came as a late birthday celebration - very nice gesture to have it comped. Great date night or dinner with close friends / family. Service is what really blew me a way (something that's hard to come by these days). Definitely recommend and will return!

The ambiance and service here was excellent! However the food for the price point wasn't up to par. The appetizers were really good however the entrees left a lot to be desired; especially in the seasoning department. Will return again but only for drinks and appetizers.

This is one of those experiences that is really hard to sum up in stars because there were such highs and lows. First the good. I loved the atmosphere with good music (much more lounge than dinner but I loved it!) and beautiful decor and lighting. My birthday was acknowledged by several team members. Our server was professional and kind. We requested a side booth and got exactly that after a brief wait at the bar. Chop salad was large and easily split. The wine by the glass was pricey but delicious and a good pour. Now the bad. Our chili sauced 2 lb lobster was served cold. The sauce was hot but the lobster was chilly in the middle and off in texture. We told our assistant server and she took it away. We both still had a whole claw on our share plate we couldn't eat. Server brought back "revised" dish that was obviously simply same meat reheated. No claws since they were still on table. Sauce broke and lobster was still cold. That's one star. However the head server came an apologized and wouldn't let us pay for anything. So you can't complain about the service or management. The kitchen however... I'd give them another shot based on how they handled the situation. But I left without an entree or dessert on my birthday. And I gave them the chance to fix it and they didn't. So I wouldn't trust them for a special night. And sadly I can't recommend the lobster.

First let me say, we did not have lobster! We went to Lobster Bar on Sunday evening and it was quite pleasant. To start, parking was actually not that bad on Las Olas and we got a spot right out front. I'm assuming this was because it was a Sunday. It right on the corner and has a pretty grand entrance. Upon entering you are greeted by the dress code signage. I nearly died when I read that flip flops weren't allowed. I was definitely rocking my Tory Burch flip flops. Luckily they didn't notice or they didn't care because me and the rest of my party walked right in! The restaurant was fairly empty and got to about 60% capacity around 8pm. So, if you want a low key spot on a Sunday, this is perfect. The whole place is covered in subway tile...but it looks great!!! Very high, arched ceilings. Something about the lighting doesn't make pics come out great though! The food. It was pretty good. Amongst our group we had the Caesar salad, octopus appetizer, roasted Brussel sprouts, two sea bass entrees and 1 Dover Sole. The sea bass wasn't that tasty - little to no flavor. However, the Dover Sole was amazing. I didn't order that and definitely has Menu Envy! Octopus was top notch!!! Oh, they do table side cooking for some meals and that is a nice little show, especially for kids. The only negative was our waiter. We didn't want to overload ok appetizers and told home that. He came back and asked about nine times. On that 9th time, I told I didn't appreciate him asking us so many times. He said "Sorry. I'm not trying to sell, but your appetizers will take a while and I just don't want you to be hungry". I told him thank you but we would be fine. He came back a 10th time.... During the meal he didn't come back to ask us how it was LOL Overall it was fine. We would return but certainly ask for a different waiter.

I am not sure what happened BUT, It wasn't as good as before. As a matter of fact, it missed the mark entirely! I came to Lobster Bar for my anniversary and was so excited because it's been a while. However, I was very disappointed in the food and service. We have our usual go-to items that we get from here, but this time, we decided to try something different from the menu. We started with the lobster bisque and fried lobster morsels. The bisque had a very bitter taste. I am assuming it was from too much Congac. Not good at all. The lobster morsels were good as usual. For our main entrees, we had the lobster truffle risotto and stuffed whole lobster. The stuffing was damn near burnt. The lobster had absolutely no flavor. No matter how much butter you poured on it, it didn't help. The most disappointing was the lobster risotto. The risotto looked amazing, but when I took my first bite, I was quickly disappointed. It was watery and mushy and lacked flavor. It wasn't creamy and sharp like a good risotto should be. It just wasn't it... at all! The service was sub-par. The guy was not attentive. We waited forever to get drink refills and to get the bill from him. Overall, it was a hefty bill, and we left Lobster Bar completely unsatisfied. We were left wanting to order some Chick-fil-A to fill in the gaps. It's not a pleasant feeling to spend so much and not be the slightest bit satisfied.

Recently dined out with my girlfriend here and had a great time! The seafood and wine were incredible, but the main reason I even came to write a review was because of the service! I'm typically not a big reviewer but when you get great service, I feel it's appropriate to share. Nick A. Was great. He was extremely knowledgeable about all of the menu items and gave us some great recommendations along the way to elevate the experience. The wine he helped us choose for the pairing was delicious as well. My girlfriend also has some dairy allergies which he made sure to accommodate and be aware of which was greatly appreciated. If you visit here, definitely ask for Nick, you won't be disappointed!

Excellent dining experience. With large party, was in semi-private room, con was that people had to pass thru our semi-private room to get to a fully-private room. Waiters/stewards were excellent & personable, forgot his name-from Springfield, IL provided top notch service. Ambiance/crowd was good, bar right outside room was not loud. Food was outstanding. Fried lobster tails and steak prepared just right. Cocktail was good. Recommended for a fine dining experience.

I have been using Open Table since 2012. Over this period, I have written 66 reviews. The majority of which have been highly favorable and complimentary. Professionally, I have been an executive-level leader of luxury hotels and high-end restaurants. I know my stuff. Thus, this Lobster Bar Sea Grille review is based on facts and my professional observations. Pre-arrival and greeting: To start, I was contacted by the restaurant two hours before my reservation to confirm that I had booked a patio table. I explained I would not have done that knowingly as I booked the restaurant in part by the photography of the interior space, which appeared to be in the style and level I was looking for. I would have booked a place along the water to have dinner outdoors. The Lobster Bar employee (Kat) told me she would change me to sit indoors. When my guest and I (a party of six) arrived, Kat greeted me and said they had a table on the patio, which I corrected by saying that she had confirmed us indoors just two hours prior. After a wait of ten-plus minutes, another host announced loudly that one of my guests was dressed inappropriately and that we could sit on the patio if we wished. Everyone at my party was stunned as we dressed appropriately for this restaurant. Rather than argue in front of my guests, they graciously agreed it would be ok to dine there. We soon discovered that was a terrible compromise. (Tip: If you need to tell me something is wrong, pull the guest host aside and discuss it privately.) The Patio: In stark contrast to the high-end ambiance of the dining room, the patio was a disappointment. It was furnished with basic lawn furniture without decor, background music, or ceiling fans. Dining there felt more like being in a parking lot than a high-end restaurant. Adding to the discomfort, the patio was also the location of the servers' bussing station. All the dirty glassware and plates were paraded past our table, and the servers openly discussed their service and table challenges no more than three feet from us. Dinner service: our server was warm and charming but drilled in the art of upselling to the point of the absurd. Further, there was no acknowledgment of being placed in the "time out" area, as some empathetic gesture from the management would have helped ease our growing frustration. We enjoyed a seafood tower and a tuna appetizer. It was, at best, average in its presentation and seafood food quality. While the menu is well constructed and described, the pricing is deceptive, particularly regarding the fish selections (Tip: you will be charged more than what is listed). In addition, the menu points out that the server will filet and present whole fish selections on the table side. If you have dined at Estiatorio Milos in Las Vegas, you know how this is correctly done. But after a 45-minute wait for our entrée, this service expectation was far off the mark. Food runners rushed and dropped their plates without any offer of service, food description, or check on our satisfaction. Moreover, one of my guests who ordered Dover Sole (market price) had to wait another five minutes before his plater was served, without any table-side presentation, as is the customary practice with Dover Sole. He was left to debone this serving himself. Finally, the side servings we were upsold (see previous point) never arrived, but by then, it was on par with the entire evening. In summary, my party spent close to $1000 to dine in a parking lot and endured a comedic three-hour presentation on how not to operate a restaurant.

I went with my friend, hoping to have a nice dinner and was very disappointed. We waited 20 minutes before we were asked what we wanted to drink. We had the grilled octopus and shrimp cocktail, they were ok. Then we ordered the surf and turf. The lobster tasted like the oil from the fryer and the filet mignon was tough and didn't have much flavor. Not going back.

Went here for my birthday dinner tonight and it was amazing. The interior is very pretty and the staff is very nice. Our server was super helpful and attentive. DRINKS: Macallan 12, Rosalita (not too strong), and New Zealand White Heaven sauvignon blanc STARTERS: Mediterranean Octopus Char-grilled (amazing, don't leave without ordering), the portion is on the smaller side, for a table of 3 we got 2 portions and honestly could've had more. It is just so tender and flavorful. Lobster Bisque very good and perfect portion size for one person! You can definitely taste the bit of cognac at the end. ENTREE: I went with the Greece Branzino which was very good! My parents went with the Fried Lobster (one did the 2 tails, the other did like a surf and turf and swapped out a tail for steak). The tails also tasted very good, juicy and tender still on the inside. Both entrees we're definitely filling so sadly with skipped the dessert. Definitely recommend coming here, and I'll also be back!

Lobster Bar is very upscale and classy restaurant. You can either go for a special occasion, date night, and/or in my case an outing with family. The food was outstanding - we had the Lobster Bisque & Cesar Salad to start with the Porterhouse Steak with a side of Mash Potatoes as our entree, & ending it with a nice sweet and salty Sundae. Note, the sides are à la cart but shareable, my boyfriend and I shared everything and finished super stuffed! Our family had a mix of oysters, lobster, filet mignon, and had no complaints around the table. Lastly, the customer service was exceptional, our server was so sweet and attentive! I wish I could remember his name to give a rating, but unfortunately can't remember. Overall, definitely recommend if you're interested on some fine dining on seafood/steak.

The food was very delicious and the service was fast! The signature crab was really good and came with a unique melted butter that was on top of the candle, which was a very nice touch. All of the appetizers were very tasty and fresh.

Three words: lobster truffle risotto! My soul died and ascended to the galaxies when I took the first bite. So much truffle. So much lobster. My two favorite things in life, beautifully intertwined. I'll return here for this dish alone. Now for appetizers we tried the steak tartare. It was delicious but we could have used more crackers as we had tons of tartare left. My partner got the NY strip and it was seasoned to perfection. Perfect crust but still tender. The least favorite part of this experience was the sea bass. I think they could do a different approach on the dish alone but the problem we had was it's rubbery texture, almost as if it wasn't cooked properly. The staff was understanding and accommodating, so no worries there - just won't order it again. Overall I'm coming back for that risotto alone!

Yelp
Whether it is presentation or taste, this place has both. The prices of the plates are comparable to the ambiance provided, however, as most delicious places, it would be nice if there was a little more food in each appetizer. That being said, you only will feel that way because it is so delicious. The steaks and other main dishes are priced according to size and is comparable to many high end restaurants

Last night we celebrated our 5 year anniversary in this amazing place. Lobster grill is located right in las olas and valet is only 10 dollars. That's awesome considering parking gets pricey if you have to park for a few hours. Once we went checked in they automatically congratulated us for our anniversary which was nice. That means they really look at the reservation notes. Our waiter Natasha was super friendly and nice. She provided us a run down of the specials. We ordered white wine from Stags Leap which was a perfect compliment with the oysters which were good. For appetizers we ordered the lobster bisque which was to die for. Truly recommend but next time we want to try it with lobster chunks which is optional. For our entree we orders the whole lobster truffle risotto which was the best risotto I've ever had. The ambiance was quiet and classy. I love how the waiter are soo attentive. They are consistently providing us water and picking up the used plates. The icing of the cake was during dessert. They surprised us with dessert with a happy anniversary. Super appreciated. Can't wait to go back and check out the other items in the menu.

Good but pricey restaurant. The ambiance is nice and the service is pretty good. There are plenty of options on the menu. For appetizers, I ordered the Ahi Tuna Tartare and the Mediterranean Octopus Char-Grilled. Even though the Octopus was overcooked, it was very good and filled with octopus. I was not a fan of the Ahi Tuna Tartare because it was too lemony. The Whole Lobster & Black Winter Truffle was okay -- my waiter recommended the dish, but the dish lacked much flavor. The Sea Scallops were delicious -- the dish was filled with scallops. For dessert, I highly recommend the Pavlova. The Hot Fudge Brownie Sundae was disappointing. If you are looking for a fancy restaurant in Fort Lauderdale for dinner, I would recommend trying this restaurant.

We have been wanting to try Lobster Bar for some time and finally had our chance. Four brothers and dad on a "guys" trip. Everything started out great we were seated and greeted by the waiter. We started out with appetizers and a bottle of wine to share between four of us. After a bit we ordered our dinners. Shortly afterwards the lobsters arrived and were severed up as fried lobsters. I mentioned to the waiter I didn't order mine this way. He advised they all come fried and that he told us this. First off, I never ever order fried food, nonetheless a lobster. After some back and forth he said he would take them back. He became argumentative. So much hassle for him I know...at this point he turns to the adjacent table and apologizes to the couple sitting there and told them we were all drunk. My brother, who hasn't had a drop of alcohol in years heard this, and called him out on it. He denied it and got loud saying he will not serve us anymore wine. Still at that point we had one bottle between four of us. At this time we requested to see the manager. The manager came over and we advised him of our encounter. He apologized and tried to make the abrupt end to a great evening salvageable, and even assigned a new waiter. I get it everyone has a bad day, Howe this waiter was so unprofessional and out of line and we didn't deserve this out of him. I still to this day do not know what happened to set him off like this . We were courteous towards him from the start and we were all in a great mood the entire time until this scene happened with an audience watching. We ended up not eating anything and requested our new waiter to cancel our reordered meals as two from our party left mortified and the remaining three of us lost our appetite. Again management handled this situation with courtesy and tried to make it right. This is a top notch establishment and the majority employees and staff truly take pride in their jobs. Im telling this story because Lobster Bar still deserves a good review on ambiance, food, service and overall. Not all encounters in the restaurant business will be without issues. Lobster Bar management handled this issue professionally and did what was right and life goes on.

We did not have a good first experience here ..... they sat us at a table to start literally one foot from the bombarded crowded front door .... I said no so they sat us at a tiny tiny table. The main reason for me coming was because they had my favorite Prosecco.., which I soon discovered they only sold by the bottle... but I cannot finish a whole bottle alone so a major let down . The food was bland the mashed potatoes tasted like Publix microwave mashed potato . The brussel sprouts were HORRIBLE AND TASTED LIKE AMMONIA and it's apparently supposed to serve 2? It was the size of a soup from Whole Foods ... my husband went to pay in cash and apparently this is the only restaurant we have ever been to that doesn't take cash. Absolutely atrocious...... if you want a incrediable experience dog two doors down to Eddie Vs it's unbelievable for the same money

What a beautiful building and space. So luxurious. The seafood ice display is amazing. Great caviar set up and options of different price ranges. The octopus was quite charred but still meaty and delicious. The sea bass had an Asian flare and was a surprisingly favorite dish. The lobster pasta was what we went for, but were a bit disappointed as it was a bit bland with no other vegetables or other ingredients. We went for a birthday dinner and had a fabulous surprise dessert platter with 3 different desserts! You can have a stroller parked at the front. High chairs are available. Lots of seating.

Lunch is delicious, dinner menu is good too! I like this place but each time I go-- service is different. My first time-- service was so bad. I thought they didn't want to take care of us. I had to complain for the manager to address so many issues ( service, food errors) etc The other times, things were okay. Food wasn't too good but service was fine. My usual go For lunch is the fried lobster tail, the octopus, and tuna tartare. Dinner- pasta with whole lobster, delicious! I've tried their caviar options and other dishes-- Service can improve!

Wonderful seafood! We are from New England and certainly value great seafood. Lobster risotto is outstanding. You cannot go wrong with the lobster morsels, just so very delectable. Service is always, always first rate, professional and geared to the customer. The Lobster Bar goes to great lengths to get the best servers for sure. The setting is lovely and calming, no 'water' view but the service and quality of food keeps us going back. We will try the luncheon menu in the near future. (In my opinion) a place you should definitely go to... it is somewhat expensive in my (humble) opinion. But the perfect place to celebrate anything...we certainly do. Enjoy

Mother's Day bummer. I understand it's a busy night, but....their usually awesome Caesar salad was tasteless, and we ordered 2 large lobsters, and they came out 30 MINUTES AFTER the entire table ate! Felt rushed and no fun eating at different times. The a la carte sides were cold and not so great. I'll chalk it up to a busy evening, but to pay $650 for 4 ppl really burns when it was bland and cold and late! Will be a while if I decide to go back.

Incompetent bartenders can't keep track of who's drinking what and will charge up your bill. I will never come back to this place. Not very customer friendly.

Service was absolutely amazing here. We were very carefully attended to throughout dinner. We ordered a New York Strip and filet mignon with a side of fries. The steaks were out of this world and cooked to perfection. The fries were the only thing I would complain about, as they were over cooked and under seasoned, but it's a minor issue compared the the amazing steaks and service we had. I'd definitely recommend my friends and family to come!

Just a stone throw away from my regular haunts, this refined and spacious restaurant wowed me. We visited on a weekday evening and enjoyed modern American cuisine. Public seating in the front with views of the open kitchen and an ambient bar, with private seating in the back. The food was delicious, served in generous portions and seasoned perfectly. We will definitely be back again!

While in Fort Lauderdale for the weekend found this on yelp. We were not disappointed. Arrived an hour early for reservations and were seated immediately. Our server was extremely knowledgable and friendly. Food was outstanding. We all got lobster and it was amazing. My girlfriend and I split the ice cream Sunday and WOW. It is a very classy vibe. We may have been a touch under dressed. But very classy feel to it. I would highly recommend if you are in the area.

This was my first time visiting the Lobster Bar Sea Grille and it will not be my last! The Lobster Bar Sea Grille is located in Las Olas and is surrounded by many different fancy restaurants. I chose this restaurant to celebrate my birthday with my best friend. Listen!!! When you first walk into the restaurant you can't help but take notice at how beautiful it is inside. Kudos to the designer! We were promptly greeted by the host who checked us in under our reservation. She was very pleasant and also wished me a Happy Birthday. After we checked in, we were seated very quickly at a huge table that you can probably sit a group of 6 or more which we didn't mind. Arturo was our server and I just have to say this...he was the BEST!!! I'm not exaggerating either! Arturo was very polite, attentive, very informative, and funny! He really made our first visit that much better. Thank you Arturo for the great experience :). As a side note, Lobster Bar Grille does not decorate the table for your birthday as like many other fancy restaurants do. In my opinion, I think that would be a great touch to add to make the night a lot more special for your guests who come to celebrate. Just my opinion :). Now for the best part, the food!!! Dinner Rolls are provided during your dinner. They were fresh and HOT! Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. As an appetizer, we ordered the All Jumbo Lump Crab Cake "Maryland." All I can say it was a mouthful of DELICIOUSNESS! The sauce provided complimented the Crab Cake very well. My best friend took a bite and all I saw was her eyes close and her head go back. I had to ask her if she was okay and all she said was "this is the best Crab Cake I've tasted", lol! For me, it falls in my Top 3. Next are our entrees. I ordered the Whole Lobster & Black Truffle Risotto and my bestie ordered Signature - Twin South African Cold Water Lobster Tails. Please note that the menu is A la carte which is to be expected in this type of restaurant. For our shareable sides, we ordered the Ribeye buttery "Lobster Potato Mash" and the Lightly Creamed Baby Leaf Spinach. So I just want to note that I did have a small mishap with my order as the risotto was undercooked. Arturo was very apologetic and very helpful with getting the small issue rectified with the chef. I was also approached by the GM and she advised that she stood there while my entree was being redone to ensure that it is up to standards. Thank you for that! I'm really happy that management was active in rectifying the issue as well. The second dish came out perfect! I am a huge fan of Risotto and this was one of the best that I have tasted. I have to also mention that the Lobster Bar Sea Grille does not skimp you on lobster! I have been to places where the lobster tends to be non-existent even though it says it contains lobster. I was happy to see that the pieces of lobster provided were a generous size and so tasty! My besties lobster tails were very good in size. They were coated with a nice batter and fried to perfection. My bestie was generous enough to let me "the birthday girl" try a piece of her lobster tail while I waited for my risotto to come back. When I say it was the best, I mean it! Juicy! Tasty! Melts in your mouth! It is definitely a MUST TRY! You will not regret it! Again, this restaurant is very generous with the lobster pieces that is provided in each dish. The Ribeye buttery "Lobster Potato Mash" was creamy, buttery and included large pieces of lobster. This is also a must try! The Lightly Creamed Baby Leaf Spinach was cooked just right to where it was not soggy. For dessert, I ordered the Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée as I am a fan of Crème Brûlée. I was happy to see at the end of our dinner that Happy Birthday was written in chocolate on the plate and a candle was provided. The dessert was delicious. It had a nice crusted shell on top. All and all, we had a great experience and we definitely would come back! If you are looking for a restaurant that has a nice ambiance and great food, Lobster Bar Sea Grille is it!!!

No better lobster or stone crabs in Florida but the meat is equally as good and the fish is always great and expertly prepared Natalia who was our server is sweet, professional and could not be more accommodating. She is very knowledgeable about the food and makes excellent suggestions. The drinks are wonderful and unique and Antonio and Emily are the epitome of excellent service providers. The ambiance is exquisite, comfortable and the people watching if you are lucky enough to get a window table is amazing, worth every penny for a special night out of fine dining. Highly recommend the poplova for dessert. The chef is one of the best in Florida.

I cannot say enough good things about this meal - everything we had was amazing! To start, we had the grilled octopus and lobster tail morsels. If you would have offered me a fried lobster tail before before this I would have thought you were crazy, but wow. It was lightly fried to perfection and the perfection way to try their signature dish. The bread wasn't anything special, but not bad. The lightly creamed spinach was perfect, not too decadent like a lot of other places. The lobster mash was surprisingly light - I was worried it'd be heavy but it was very well-balanced. The tomatoes and feta (basically just a nice Greek salad) were a nice addition to our entrees. The sea bass was cooked perfectly and the sauce was super tasty. The lobster tail and truffle risotto was the perfect amount of richness without being overpowering. For dessert we had the crème brûlée and blueberry pie. Both were pretty good, but I think the crème brûlée could have set a bit more. Highly recommend

Don't pay with QR code. Three dollar charge. Restaurant does not post this info. Just pay as normal.

This was my 3/4 time eating at lobster bar. I spent all night with food poisoning like I was going to die.

Customer service was great but that's about it. Appetizers were tiny! $24 for 4 shrimp in my shrimp cocktail. Also had the ahi tuna appetizer and it was the blandest ahi tuna I've ever had. Main course itself wasn't horrible but the sides again were bland and it was something my daughter could have made. Very loud inside the restaurant but the decor was nice. Definitely wouldn't recommend to anyone.

Oh I have been to the lobster bar many times in the past since most of my friends go there often but recently I discovered their lunch. I love lunch at lobster bar. It is more quiet, perfect for business meetings and delicious dishes. We had lobster bites and Dover sole. We came back and had crab cakes.

Second time in the restaurant and once again, the staff and service were AMAZING!! Some might say that the price is a bit high, however the quality and quantity is very adequate. The restaurant is beautiful and my husband and I had a perfect evening.

First time here,, celebrating my birthday. The decor is exquisite along with the outstanding service. Our waiter was very attentive without looking for him, he was spot on with all our needs. He explained the menu to us. Highly recommended. The food was delicious and cooked and seasoned to perfection.

The ambience and size of the restaurant catches you soon as you walk through the door. I was a little disappointed they didn't have lobster Mac and cheese but the food was well cooked and tasted great. The staff was welcoming and nice. It's a little pricey so don't come looking for a bargain dinner.

We Ordered oysters and caviar to start. Both were excellent. Service was good. Decor is quite lovely. The subway tile throughout is different, but it worked. We ordered a bottle of Dom champagne with dinner. We had fried lobster tails as our main entree. We also ordered all of the deserts. It is a wonderful place especially for seafood. Enjoy. The bill came to aprox 50

Stopped by here the evening before Thanksgiving and it was pretty packed! I was surprised. I love that they were decorated for the holidays. This is my second time here and I'd say it was mediocre. I ordered the sea bass and hated the sauce underneath the rice. It was too salty and my rice was drenched in it. The fish was overly cooked that it had a steak texture. I don't recommend the lobster mash. I thought they did something different to it but the just plopped it on top of the mashed potatoes. My friend ordered the twin lobster and it was over cooked as well. It was so tough and chewy. Overall the ambiance and service was great. The food, not so much.
