The Nauti Lobstah

Magical dining and the food was excellent. Shrimp was so fresh and clam linguine was so good. Very good portion had to bring it home. The dessert strawberry mousse with biscoff cookie so good. Great dinner. I will come back. My friends all enjoyed their lobster 🦞.

We had an outstanding lunch at The Nauti Lobstah during the weekend. The restaurant wasn’t too busy so, we didn’t have to wait for a table. From the moment we walked in, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was lively combined with a quaint vintage-inspired decor. We ordered a couple rounds of cocktails alongside two full courses, and everything was very tasty, fresh and satisfying.

This place had been winning awards for years now, and I wanted to go so bad, but I just never am out in this part of town. Well I found a couple of other activities to pair with a nice lunch in Apopka. So we stopped in and finally got to see what all the fuss was all about. Ambiance was themed very well. New England nautical. Old school, like you were sitting in a restaurants from the 80's. Very fun, warm, and inviting. And also all of the blank spaces off the sidewalk were full of oyster shells, which was a very nice touch. Service was top notch. Our server was top notch professional, made sure our glasses were always full, and new the menu very well to help us decide exactly what to get. The food itself was really nice. Everything we had was delicious. Let's get into it. We ate way too much food this day. We started off with a couple of apps. New England Clam Chowdah (Chef Mike’s secret clam chowder recipe [Add (3) Famous Rhode Island Clam Cakes]). This was a very nice chowder, not too creamy, very well seasoned, and you have to add on the clam cakes as a dipper. This chowder yearns to be dipped into. Very pervasive clam flavor throughout the cake. A nice little fritter. Crab Stuffed Mushrooms (Crab stuffed mushrooms, served with Hollandaise sauce drizzle and lemon wedge). Unctuous. Very nice sized shrooms stuffed to the brim with the crab mixture and broiled to a perfect crisp. Wowwy wow. So good. Onto the main event, the Connecticut Lobstah Roll (Warm fresh Maine lobster piled on Crisp Bibb Lettuce on toasted New England brioche Roll, served with warm butter). Perfectly tender lobster, and really more of it than I thought I would get. A roll that was strong, soft, and ultra buttery, all with even more butter for dipping. The epitome of indulgence, served with some of the finest, crispiest homemade potato chips you'll find in all of Orlando. So good. Fisherman's Platter (Fried Boneless Catfish, Clam Strips, Shrimp, New Bedford Sea Scallops). I know frying seafood isn't how you can most skillfully cook it, but there is absolutely a wrong, lazy way to do it. Nauti did it correctly. Catfish, delicate breading, super moist and juicy within, well seasoned. Nice. Clam strips, made extra fun with extra crackling breading a la old Captain D's cracklings. Shrimp of a decent size, not oily, popped right out of the tails. And the scallops were cooked just as well as if they were seared by Gordon Ramsay. So delicate and delicious. A few notes on the sides. The Hush Puppies were absolutely terrible. They were simply overcooked. A few of the chips suffered the same fate. But the Sweet Potato Casserole was one of the best I've ever had. They used puffed rice cereal for texture and wow, it was very fun and yummy. Overall, the hype was real, and this place was worth the wait. It's so rare to find good seafood in the Orlando area, but this is one of the few places I was happy to find. I'd love to come back one day.

We had a wonderful in presentation and tasty meals New England style at this restaurant. I lived in New England 22 years. It was a delight to have met the chef today, Mike and have the opportunity to thank him for the delicious food! Mike is from Warren RI. The food was delicious and having talked to Mike about New England food was an extra treat. Great food, great waiting service ! We had Lobster Bisque, Lobster Roll CT style and stuffed quahogs. Great find when visiting the Orlando Area.

As a former Rhode Islander and seafood lover, I was excited to find this fabulous restaurant only an hour from home! My husband and I started out with Chowdah and Clam Cakes. Both were amazing. We then feasted on Lobstah rolls that were fantastic. (Cold version). The service was excellent and the atmosphere reminded me of a typical New England restaurant. Can't wait to return!!!!

Service was amazing we can with my 2 little grand daughters and they were very attentive. I don’t have a pic of the steamed little neck clams I devoured them. But chef Mike and Noelle and the rest of the staff were very kind. Must go!! We are from out of town and found this place on google. Definitely not a disappointment

The friendly people who work there and the food are special. Our group waited a long time to order and receive beverages and also to order our lunches. However, the meals arrived quickly and were hot, fresh, and tasty. In spite of our large group, water glasses were kept nearly full. The entire luncheon event offered everyone a very pleasant experience.

We started with the clam cakes and crab stuffed mushrooms and lobster bisque.. we also had calamari.. everything was soo fresh and delicious.. the lobster bisque is not the typical all creme and no meat soup.. this was real NE bisque that was thick with real lobster chunks.. wow! For main dishes we had the New England Lobstah roll and their fish n chips.. the roll was fresh and full of lobster.. this place is so good and we WILL be back!

First time here after this being on my list for a couple of years! I've heard plenty of good things, and finally found a special occasion to give them a try. From the outside, it's unassuming. It looks like a seafood shack you would find on the beach. The inside though! Plenty of nautical decor and an upscale feel with Tiffany inspired lamps. My father told me stores of an amazing seafood dish from his youth that I had to try; Lobster Newburg. This is the only place in central Florida I could find that served it. So we got a plate of the ultimate seafood Newberg, mom got the Crab stuffed Flounder (one of her favorites) and I got the Jumbo Crab cakes. We got a variety of sides to go with it. Everything was amazing! We all got our favorite seafood dishes and they were the most amazing renditions of those items! The service was exceptional! I'm sure we annoyed the waitress with the two thousand questions we had, but she was extremely sweet and did everything to answer them and accommodate our

Thank you, Yelp, for helping us discover this hidden gem! We traveled to Boston earlier this year and have been craving lobstah ever since--so when we found this place, we jumped at the chance. And wow... it did not disappoint. The restaurant was spotless, and our server Jerry was warm, attentive, and helpful. We went all out and ordered a feast--and every single bite was phenomenal. We started with steamed snow crab legs and oysters casino. The crab was perfectly cooked--sweet, juicy, and easy to crack. The oysters had a crisp, golden crust, cooked to perfection, without any fishiness. Absolute perfection. For mains: My daughter, not a seafood fan, had the prime rib French dip and loved it--tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. My son went for the double Connecticut lobstah roll, overflowing with warm buttery lobster. I got the "lazy man lobstah," which was a dream--sweet, tender meat already out of the shell so I could just dive in. Every bite was a buttery, garlicky flavor bomb. My husband had the cowboy steak, and again, they knocked it out of the park--juicy, char-grilled, and generously portioned. If you're anywhere near Apopka, do not miss this place. It's a small, locally owned spot that delivers big on flavor and quality. Come hungry, be ready to splurge a little, and prepare to leave full and happy. We'll absolutely be back next time we're in town!

Tastes of New England at home in Florida?! Yes please! The Nauti Lobstah is reminiscent of home style restaurants I grew up frequenting in New England and of course down the northeast coast. The decor feels homey, casual, and comfortable. The only thing missing is the water front. Wink wink! Turns out that they don't take reservations so come on the early side if you want to dine on a weekend. Luckily we only waited about 30 minutes on a Saturday. Once seated, we were warmly greeted by our server and got settled with drinks and clam chowdah! The chowder was rich and creamy and came served with some type of corn fritters. Very delicious but stick with a cup so you have room for your lobstah. We had a variety around the table and honestly each dish was better than the next. One can't go wrong with a generously stuffed lobster roll but we also tried a lobster mac and a lobster risotto. All stellar! Great portions and loaded with big flavors. Despite bearing full, I saved room for the newly added bread pudding. It was served warm with fresh whipped cream and I urge you to go for this one. The rest of the table agreed of the desserts we tried, the bread pudding rocked! I've already planned a return outing with visiting family members to the Nauti Lobstah. They are so excited based on my glowing feedback of generous portions and delicious fresh catch!

The first time a group of us wanted to try out this restsurant, we had to go elsewhere, because it is closed on Mondays, and we get together once a month after the Bowlero Senior Bowling League. The next opportunity was for a Saturday lunch with Orlando Area Panhellenic Alumnae. We were seated together at tables in a step-down area. I wondered how anyone in a wheelchair or using a cane could maneuver the steps. We waited a long time for water, other beverages, and longer for ordering our meals. However, once ordered, they did not take long to arrive, which was a pleasant surprise. Meals looked appealing and tasted good. Many of us tried one of their speciality lobster rolls in spite of the price. I heard no complaints from anyone except for how long it took before orders were completed or bills were handled.

First of all I'm a Rhode Islander that lives in Florida. So happy to find this place so close to us. I took the risk and got the Gloucester clams, they weren't as good as up north fresh out the ocean. A few had lots of sand in them, and the butter was lacking salt. The clam cakes were def a taste of home for me and I would def go and get those again. The clam chowder was meaty but in my opinion was lacking some flavor. My husband got the crab cakes and French fries and they were so good! The cakes had lots of crab meat in them and were filling. The bartender did a great job with the old fashioned too! Our waitress was very attentive and super friendly she had a large table besides us but managed to tackle both effortlessly. We would def go back to try other menu options!

Lobstah must be the proper spelling for overcooked low-quality lobster. I was super excited to go here only to be disappointed AF. The lobster meat was dry, overcooked, and way overpriced. Pinch and zoom on the photo and look! Makes me think of Pinchy from The Simpsons. The Double Connecticut Style Lobster Roll had 8 ounces (their description) of lobster on it. This thing was pretty loaded but at $56, was a total rip off. It's the most I've ever spent on a lobster roll and the 2nd worst one I've ever had. It needed every bit of drawn butter to make it edible. Just to put price in perspective, a 4oz lobster roll on the Las Vegas strip is $9 cheaper than a 4oz lobster roll in Apopka... and you get a better view. The lobster BLT was good, but didn't really have enough lobster on it. The flavor was there through. Not worth the $35. (There's a theme here) The Stuffies were good. It was a hollowed out stuffed clam with sausage and other stuff and two of them were $13. They were a good size, but sheesh, not worth it at all. The homemade chips were good as were the French fries, but the Lobstah was very disappointing in quality. For the price, it should be flawless! If I went back, it would be for other seafood dishes and I'd steer clear of the lobster. If I want lobster, I'll find the Cousin's truck.

Overpriced and basic the catfish have the fishy smell if that makes sense. I'm sure some people love it.

I like the Cat Fish lunch menu. The clams are delicious too. The country antiques and train that runs the perimeter of the restaurant's ceiling is a favorite. It is a very comfortable place to eat great seafood. The service is always great and friendly.

Hidden Gem came here to celebrate a milestone for my husband because its is favorite place. He got his usual lobster roll with hush puppies and I got the filet steak with cesar salad and garlic mashed potatoes. Great kind service and love seeing the chef walk around saying hi to his customers. Hard to find places like this anymore. I look forward to our next visit. Support local!!!

My husband and I went on a lunch date to The Nauti Lobstah on a Saturday afternoon. We got there right when they opened and were seated immediately. The atmosphere was quaint and cozy. I ordered a mocktail since I am currently breastfeeding, but lots of the drinks sounded good! I started with the clam chowder which was delicious. For our entrees, I got the lobster BLT (warm), and my husband got the chicken lunch special. Portions were nice sized, and we both brought some leftovers home. We were too stuffed for dessert, but I bet they are good. Our service was great- the waitress we had was nice and continuously checked in on us. We will be back!

I've been to Nauti Lobstah a few times over the years, they are a local seafood restaurant that specializes in as you can imagine all things seafood. Their lobster has been renowned from many locals even from individuals coming from the New England area. This is very much the mom and pop close family type of place. The moment you walk in you're greeted to a very family close knit type of vibe which is very pleasant and comfy. I went with a pretty big party close to their closing time a few weeks ago the staff was extremely helpful and catering to our large party especially as it was close to their closing time. We got a myriad of items including their oysters, mussels, fried shrimp, salmon, lobster roll. I have to say everything was pretty delicious. The standout being the two foot long lobster roll drizzled with butter. The lobster was very fresh and cooked well. My main course that I got was a baked salmon with stuffed crab that was so tasty and filling. The bottom line, I'd highly recommend this place for the service as well as quality of food they offer. All seafood we had was very fresh and tasty and the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. Absolutely recommend

When I tell you they served, they did indeedy!!! We made our Orlando trip just based on this 2 ft Lobster Roll made with 2 lbs of Fresh Moist Lobster Claw Meat. It was served by the Chef and Owners. The waitress to the host to the parking lot was nice and accomodating!! I ate until I couldn't anymore and got a whole sandwich leftover. Located just 30 mins from Orlando right near the interstate nestled in a homefront space with ample secure parking. We were happy and over estatic about the experience. Now we need a knap!!! Thank you for the meal that will be talked about and compared to no other Lobster Roll!!!!

Tonight we revisited Nauti Lobstah after discovering it highlighted on several gluten-free websites--and we are so glad we did. Our son was recently diagnosed with celiac disease, so finding local spots that are both safe and delicious has become a new priority for us. The experience was above and beyond. Our server (a lovely brunette whose name I wish I could remember!) was incredibly kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. She immediately reassured us about their protocols and even went to the back to speak with the chef directly. It turns out the chef has sisters with celiac disease, so he truly understands the importance of preventing cross-contamination. We're lucky that our son loves mussels and oysters, and everything was fresh, safe, and absolutely delicious. This level of care and awareness made us feel seen and supported--and we'll definitely be returning often. Thank you, Nauti Lobstah, for creating a space where families like ours can feel confident dining out again!

Had a great lunch here! I shared a lobster roll with my daughter as well as a shrimp meal. I believe this is the best seafood place in Central Florida! Hostess Faith was delightful in assisting us with our family and kids who joined us.

I came to The Nauti Lobstah after seeing a post that really hyped it up, but as someone from Connecticut, I left feeling pretty disappointed. I normally don't leave reviews like this, but considering the prices, I expected a lot more. I ordered the double Connecticut lobster roll, which cost $56, and it was served cold--not what I was hoping for at all. The flavor also didn't strike me as particularly fresh. I also ordered the whole belly clams 5 oz, which were $39, and was surprised to find only four actual whole bellies--the rest were just clam strips. The sides didn't help much either. The creamed spinach was cold and bland, and the French fries were mostly tiny, overcooked bits. The clams casino were extremely salty--even for someone who likes salt--and the seafood Newburg also had an overly salty, slightly off taste and that dish cost $67. The one bright spot of the experience was the staff. Everyone was friendly and polite, and I truly appreciated their attitude and service. Unfortunately, the food just didn't live up to the hype or the price of $270Bucks.

When Salt is the Star of the Show The Nauti Lobstah can best be described as a mom-and-pop-style restaurant with an extremely pleasant, abundantly staffed team. Honestly, the staff was the highlight of my experience -- and that's saying something. The food? Well, that's a different story -- one that left much to be desired. I began optimistically with the clam chowder and clams casino. Looking back, I realize I should have taken the chowder as an early warning. I told myself, "Not all chowders are created equal," and tried to chalk it up to a more herby, oceanic interpretation. By herby oceanic, I mean the seafood might have been past its prime -- aggressively fishy, over-salted (presumably to disguise the seafood's age), and altogether unpleasant. Still, ever the optimist, I moved on to the clams casino. This dish could have been torn from the pages of The Salty Digest. Bacon slivers crowned the clams, which were swimming in... well, either butter or bacon grease -- it was hard to tell under the mountain of salt. Undeterred and $67 lighter, I pinned my hopes on the Ultimate Newburg. A hearty-looking dish in what appeared to be a lobster bisque-style sauce, finished with a sprinkle of parsley. Surely, surely this would redeem the previous courses? Wrong. Guess the key ingredient? If you said salt, you're today's lucky winner. I will give credit where it's due: the sweet potato casserole was surprisingly good. It was flavorful, properly seasoned (read: not a salt lick), and honestly the best bite of the meal. Overall, while the ambition was visible -- I can see the chef had a vision -- the execution fell completely flat. Instead of creating thoughtful, seafood-forward dishes, they delivered over-salted plates that tasted suspiciously like they might have been past their freshest days. As someone raised in a New England seaport city, I can confidently say that some of the seafood would have been better used as chum to catch fresher fare. Bottom line: the staff is fantastic. The food? Not worth your coin.

Christine is such a great owner- she greets everyone who dines. Chef Mike is perfection. They are famous for their 2ft lobster roll, and it's delicious, but so are the desserts and gator bites. It's all wonderful and you will leave absolutely full.

This restaurant is pretty well known locally and i can see why, I've been twice so far and the staff are always so friendly and the food is delicious. It's cozy and not too big but service is always good, the owner himself always comes out to greet and speak to everyone personally and you can tell he puts a lot of thought and care into his food. highly recommend if you love seafood as much as I do.

I visited The Nauti Lobstah for lunch and it was so delicious! The decor of the restaurant really takes you back to an old New England fish house which in my opinion, makes the food taste even better! We went to experience the MD menu but we did not eat of it. If you are a Yelper and you check in, you should receive a basket of their delicious homemade potato chips with their Remoulade Sauce. My party actually ate off the lunch menu since we couldn't justify eating a lobster at 1pm in the afternoon. I had the fried combo, and it was so delicious! It comes with catfish, fried shrimp, fried scallops, fried clams, hush puppies, and your choice of side and it's $20. Their lunch specials are everyday from 11 am- 3pm Everything was fresh and they really piled it on your plate to where you'll definitely have left overs. Their hush puppies are really flavorful! I believe they make their cocktail and tarter sauces in house and they were also very tasty. My other friend (who loves lobster) got their Connecticut Lobstah Roll and said it was one of the best ones she's had. She praised the amount of lobster in the roll and loved how juicy and tender the lobster was as well. She also ordered their fried shrimp and said they were delicious too. The staff was very friendly and attentive and I'm pretty sure Chef Mike came to our table to ask us how our food was. They were also pretty busy which is nice to see given the amount of restaurants we have shutting down in the Central Florida area. This was my second time visiting but I'm definitely now a fan and will be coming back again

service was amazing! The severs and employees were so nice, and the food was also phenomenal. The lobster was delicious.

I really liked the Nauti Lobstah. The seafood was fresh and the service was prompt. I had both the hot and cold rolls. The sides weren't bad although I didn't care for the sweet potato casserole. I did enjoy the ratatouille. The place is super casual with a medium noise level. The lobstah rollls were claw meat as any proper rolls are. The snow crab legs were seasoned to perfection.

Ambience is awesome. Love the clam chowder. Friendly service. However, we ordered some entrees and they're overcooked, but will come Back for second chance.

First time at the Nauti Lobster and what an amazing experience! Heather our server was very friendly and did a great job for us! We ordered calamari and my wife ordered the lobster bisque and I ordered the fisherman's platter and the food was amazing. The restaurant was small and cozy and relaxing and we can't wait to go back and try more seafood..

My husband and I tried the food at a Yelp event and have wanted to go here. We decided to stop for lunch and we were not disappointed. It's located in Apopka and has street parking and a small parking lot. We were greeted right away and seated. Our waitress Heather acknowledged us immediately and put in our appetizer order of Fried Calamari. The Calamari was by far a 10 out of 10! Cooked perfectly and not greasy. I ordered the Lobster Bisque and a Creamy Espresso Martini. The bisque was delicious and when you order a bowl, it's a large bowl. My husband ordered the Fisherman's Platter with Fried Catfish, Fried Scallops and Fried Shrimp. It was so good and the portion size was huge! His drink was the Golden Old Fashioned, smoked. He gave everything a 10 out of 10. Heather recommended we order the bread pudding for dessert. It comes with a bourbon sauce and whip cream.

We came here San Diego, after seeing the restaurant featured on YouTube as the best lobster roll in Florida. Yelpers who check in get a free house-made potato chips. They come hot, crispy and delicious with an addicting side sauce. The interior is a warm, old school feel with lots of nostalgic props and decor. We loved it. We ordered the famous 2 lbs of lobster on a 2 foot garlic butter, toasted roll. It was better than we expected. First, the potions are enormous! It was incredible with sweet succulent large pieces of marinated lobster. It was a large diameter sandwich that took two hands to eat. You will not go home hungry or disappointed. BEST LOBSTER ROLL IN USA. Noel was our fantastic waitress who was super friendly and caring. She was so helpful. THIS IS A MUST TRY FOR ANYONE IN ORLANDO AREA!

What a place, best lobster roll in Central Florida, clean with great service . All around the best menu for sea food lovers. Highly recommend them.

Love this place!! The best taste of New England seafood you will find in Central Fl. Food, service and ambiance is GREAT! We will definately be back

Last night, I had the pleasure of dining at The Nauti Lobstah -- a seafood spot I'd been eager to try, especially since my wife (my usual dinner companion) detests seafood and was out of town! My neighbors suggested it, and I jumped at the chance. The place was busy -- always a good sign -- but we only waited about 20 minutes. We grabbed drinks at the small bar, and before we knew it, we were seated. Totally worth the wait! Service Our waiter, Johnathan, was attentive, friendly, and on point all evening. Even better, one of the owners, Christina, took time to sit at our table, sharing the story of their famous 2-lb lobster roll and a food champion who polished off TWO of them! You can tell she truly cares about her food, her staff, and her customers. That personal touch made the night even more memorable. Appetizer We started with 1.5 dozen East Coast Oystahs on the Half Shell (James River Blue Point Virginia oysters). Served raw with lemon, homemade cocktail sauce, and Saltines -- these were fresh, flavorful, and simply amazing. Snack Their homemade chips are talked about for a reason -- crispy, salty, and addictive. Main Course I went for the Lazy Man's Style Lobstah -- fresh Maine lobster cooked, cracked open, shelled, and tossed in butter and white wine, topped with Ritz cracker crumbs. I added sautéed shrimp and scallops (worth the upcharge!). This dish was incredible -- rich, buttery, and decadent -- and I didn't have to do any of the work! The hushpuppies (crispy outside, soft inside) were hands-down the best I've ever had. The Caesar salad was fresh and nicely dressed. My friends' meals Pan-Seared Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes -- looked perfect, served with remoulade sauce. Crabmeat Stuffed Floundah -- flaky flounder stuffed with crab, topped with Ritz crackers and a drizzle of hollandaise. Both dishes came with hushpuppies and garlic mashed potatoes -- both friends cleaned their plates! Final thoughts I'm already planning a return trip for lunch this week to try one of their lobster rolls (a normal-sized one!). The Nauti Lobstah is fantastic -- great food, stellar service, and genuine hospitality. If you're a seafood lover (or just seafood-curious when your spouse is out of town ), don't miss this place. Rating: 10/10 -- Can't wait to go back!

Stopped on our way back from out of town. The whole bellied clams and my husband's lobster roll were both excellent, as was his smoked Old Fashioned and my dirty martini. Jonathan provided outstanding service.

This post/review is insanely overdue so this is your "long post" warning. We have been going to Nauti Lobstah for a little over 2.5 years. We went 2 or 3 times in 2022/2023. My family is from Boston and we are pretty picky about our "New England seafood" and most importantly our clam chowder. We loved it all and my mom and I both said it was one of the best clam chowders ever. The service was always good, food fresh and we recommended them often as we didn't have a great seafood place we could go to and this was 5 minutes from us, so we were very excited to now have a local seafood spot. After those few wonderful visits our daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease and put an entire spin on our lives, including all of our ever going out to eat plans. After a few months of revamping our kitchen, house and lives my husband called me one day and said I really think we should try to go out to eat as a family. I felt defeated and was so scared that there would be anywhere we could go where we could get not only something safe for her to eat but something a toddler would want to eat. So I called the Nauti Lobstah, I explained that we haven't been able to come for a while because of the diagnosis and wondered if we could try to come and see if she would be safe. Chef Mike got on the phone and asked me her restrictions and assured me he would make her something special and keep it safe. He mentioned his sister has Celiac so he is familiar. He asked if she would eat chicken strips and French fries and that he'd fry them separately for her. When we got there he came out again and went over everything. He made her a special corn flour breaded chicken basked and fries made in a separate oil and pot then the regular fried food. They even brought us the gf crackers! My mamma heart was so full of gratitude. Cara took Annabelle all around the restaurant showing her the train and we even got to go see the lobster tank with chef Mike. Since this time we have been many times taking friends and family including my uncle from RI (like chef Mike) who confirmed everything is authentically New England seafood. We always call ahead to let them know we are coming, chef Mike always comes out and talks to Annabelle to see what she is wanting that day (usually fried shrimp or chicken with French fries) veggies/fruit/gf crackers and he has even made her special house made chips safe. Christine and Cara also always greet us and all the servers have been wonderful. We recently just went for my 40th birthday dinner decked out in lobster gear. Dinner was amazing as usually but what really sets them aboaty is the customer service, the dedication and the caring they have for Annabelle's restrictions. I can't stress enough how wonderful it is to have somewhere to eat as a family where I can trust my daughter will be safe. They treat us like family and we will always support these wonderful people and local gem! Thank you Nauti Lobstah ! And sorry this is so long overdue!

I went to school in New England and love that part of the country. So to find there is a seafood restaurant serving New England style food was something we had to try. This is a cute place in Apopka which the friendliest staff ever. I can see why they just won "Best Waitstaff" and "Best Chef" in Orlando. We were greeted constantly by every person and they were all helping each other. We opted for the "Secret Menu" which is a 3 course selection starting at $35. We upgraded our appetizers for $5 each and got Fresh Oysters and Fried Calamari. The Oysters were served ice cold with saltines, mignonette and cocktail sauce. They were delicious and huge! The Fried Calamari was a plentiful portion and fried well. We were amazed at getting full portions of appetizers with this special deal. For our entrees we chose the Lobster ($10 up charge) and Lobster BLT. Again both were delicious. Lobster was fresh and easy to get the meat out of served with butter and I got a side of garlic mashed and clam chowder. The BLT could be served hot or cold, we chose hot. It was served with the chef's special recipe potato chips that my husband raved about and brought some home. For dessert we opted for the Strawberry Mouse and the Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie jar. We were very full and could have brought these home, but they were good. The 3 course menu is a great selection and you do not have to pick any up charge items and still have good choices. For example the lobster alone on the menu is $40, so getting the lobster on this three course menu (without up charges) is $45 and you will get an appetizer and a dessert. WOW! We are definitely going to be back as the entire menu looks delicious and we need the little reminder of New England every now and then. Come for both the staff and the food and you won't be disappointed.

Support local! All employees are fantastic! Food is always yummy! Check their facebook page or website for monthly $35 3 course specials. It's constantly changing. Read my prior reviews for further info and recommendations. You're missing out if you haven't been here yet!!

This is my third time here, and my second review. You'll find this one to be much like the last because we had another great meal! We brought my boyfriend's grandparents here again because they loved it so much the last time we came. We had the clam cakes as an appetizer, which were surprisingly tasty! Just like a fritter! For dinner we had the cioppino again, and it was just as good as last time! We also tried the burger. The burger had garlic butter buns which was delightful. I got the fried grouper sandwich and let me tell you, this thing was MASSIVE. I must have gotten lucky because even the waitress was surprised with how big it was. And it was fantastic! The outside was crispy. The inside was perfectly done. The garlic butter bun was toasty and good. I had a side of hush puppies (of course they were good) and sweet potato casserole. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the sweet potato casserole wasn't super sweet. We just love this place. The servers are always smiling. The food is consistently yummy. The restaurant is clean and homey. It's a local business.

After being introduced to this restaurant through an event in March, I've been wanting to visit. Then I see that they are on the Bite30 restaurant list. So, it's a perfect time to visit. I stopped in on a Saturday at lunchtime and were sat right away inside. There was a steady amount of parties entering and exiting, so it was a booming place. The interior gives a nautical feel like you are on a ship. I checked in via the Yelp App and received a free basket of chips with the remoulade sauce, which was very tasty. I did the Bite30 menu, which I chose the house salad, New England Lobster Roll, and the Key Lime Pie. The salad was fresh. The lobster roll had a generous amount of lobster and was sooooo good. One of the best lobster rolls PLUS 2 sides. The hush puppies had a nice crisp outside with a fluffy center and the sweet potato casserole was top tier. Get it. Better than most I've had. The key lime pie was deconstructed in a small mason jar with Graham crackers on the side. Cute presentation and the perfect sweet treat to finish the meal. Service was great. We felt very invited by the staff. The takeout containers were good quality and they brought me out a bag. I will definitely tell all my friends about this place. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

This is a restaurant with tons of character and charm! Serve was outstanding and our seafood was freshly prepared- prices are not moderate, so prepare for 40-50 per person. We will be back - perfect for a fun celebration type of experience BTW- fantastic craft cocktails!

It is a bit of a drive from downtown Orlando, but 100 worth it. We came on a Tuesday for their secret menu. Not sure if they will have rotating secret menus, but the one we came for in October/November 2024 was great. Started with the crab stuffed mushrooms (our favorite dish of the night) and the bake ratatouille, so good! Another amazing part is the house wines are Bogo for seven dollars!! For entrées we had the lobster BLT, and the baked salmon with jumbo lump crab. The only complaint was the salmon was really small, but all the crab on top was amazing. We had sides of coleslaw, green beans, mashed potatoes and sweet potato casserole. Our favorites were the green beans and sweet potato casserole. Took our desserts to go and they were absolutely amazing the next day. We will definitely be back to try the chef specialty lobster mac & cheese!

The other yelp reviews definitely drove us to check this location out. We arrived in the early afternoon on a rainy Saturday to find the location was fairly steady with business. Always a good sign! My husband ordered the grouper sandwich fried with American cheese. I opted for the Connecticut lobster roll which means it was served warm. The Connecticut lobster roll includes the sandwich and chips and one side, I opted for the hush puppies. I found the lobster roll to be very delicious. It's also served with melted butter so you can determine how much butter you actually want to have on your roll. My husband's grouper sandwich was good except for the batter they use on the grouper fell off very easily. it also was incredibly wet which caused the bottom of the bun that it was served on pretty much disintegrate. Our server was super attentive and I have to say I was very impressed that I didn't see any of the servers not working with a sense of urgency. It was very refreshing. For the lobster roll and the sandwich it was approximately $65 for lunch. So this is definitely a place you want to consider your budget at. But between service and the overall ambience and food we definitely would come back and try it again.

We recently visited Naughty Lobstah, and despite it being a bit of a drive for us, we would absolutely go back. We started with oysters, which were very reasonably priced and had generous portions. The espresso martini was delicious, and the bartender was happy to add Bailey as we requested. The Connecticut lobster rolls were to die for--definitely a highlight of our meal. Overall, Naughty Lobstah is a hidden gem that I highly recommend! (Food was so good we forgot to take photos of all)

My husband and I went here on a Friday for dinner during Bite 30. We were told it would be around 30 minute wait so we got a bottle of wine from the bar and sat on the patio. We had a couple sips of wine, then our table was ready... much quicker than we were originally expecting... yay!! We were sat at a nice table in the corner. Our server came over right away and got our orders in. I could tell that quite a few customers were regulars and the staff knew them well. It was lovely to see. The staff was great. We decided to order from the bite 30 menu. Sooo much food! We each got an appetizer, entree, and dessert. I ordered the New England lobster roll and my husband got the Connecticut style lobster roll. Both came with chips. Both lobster rolls were delicious and did not skimp on the lobster. We ended up taking quite a bit of food home (mostly the apps and chips, we finished our rolls). We did save room for dessert- key lime pie and peanut butter chocolate. Yummmm! Overall a wonderful experience. I almost never go to Apopka but will make the trip out to go back here!

Really liked the ambiance. Service was very good. Very friendly and the owner came out and greated us. I had the fish and chips which was above average. Wifey had fried green tomatoes and some fish dish i cant rememebr. The fgt was above average. Fish was returned. I will give this place another shot when its warmer

The 2foot, 2pound lobster roll! That's all I need to say. Husband and I had to try it out.... It was absolutely wonderful. We did half and half.... Half cold and half hot. The cold roll was very tasty for a summer day, the lobster stole the show with no competing flavors. The hot roll side with the fresh drawn butter was perfect! That's all it needed. Everyone should try this place!

Food is real New England Seafood Service is wonderful Ambiance is like being in a real New England restaurant! The owners are attentive, visit all.the patrons. Chef/Owner is originally from Rhode Island

The steamers were fresh and juicy and tasty .decent sizes . The smelts were also crunchy and sweet when they serve hot but ok then they got cold . Fried green tomatoes were perfectly crusted and fried . The Connecticut lobster roll was decent . Service was good . I live downtown orlando so it really not worth the drive . A little out of the way but you live in Apopka it's worth it

Wow wow wow! A $40 magical dining dinner that truly goes over the top . This is the old catfish place reinvented... Started with 1.2 dozen oysters on the 1/2 shel, then a loaded Lobster roll with large chunks of lobster and melted butter,homemade chips and another side- I got cheese grits, and ended with great key lime / graham cracker dessert. A don't miss treat. And the service is exceptional as well!!!!!!

We stopped by on recommendations, and couldn't agree more -- this is a fantastic New England seafood spot with delicious food and stellar customer service. Their dining rooms are homey and comfortable (imagine Sunday dinner at a cozy New England getaway), with servers who treat you like family. We tried, and loved, their Ritz Cracker Topped Floundah and Connecticut Style Lobster Roll. Both were amazing! I've also never enjoyed hush puppies more than the ones that they serve here. Overall, this is a family-owned gem that is worth amazing accolades. This was our family's first time visiting, but won't be our last. Return visits are in order to try out more of their menu, but honestly the dishes we enjoyed were so good that we'll probably order them again!

Hello Yelpers! Back with a really good one! I came here with some girlfriends to catch up and see this spot for magical dinning so we said ABSOLUTELY! While you're unable to reservations, we still wanted to check it out. The wait time was about 1 1/2 long; everyone was thinking the same thing we were! While we were waiting we went in to have a Sangria which is house made and was AMAZING! When we were called, we were sat down and immediately was addressed by our server. She was super sweet. She took our drink orders and gave us a bit to look over the menu. When she returned, we dived right on into ordering and to our pleasure our appetizers came out in under 10! We ordered Oysters (raw & half steamed) and I ordered the stuffed crab mushrooms. During our wait time Christine, one of the owners, stopped by our table and we were able to chat for a bit and get to know her. She was so kind and very personable. We learned a little more on the history of the restaurant which was pretty awesome. My niece at the table wasn't really hungry but she was so kind to bring some of the fresh chips and sauces that they make in house. She ate them! Shortly after our food rolled in! I had the filet mignon with sweet potato casserole and garlic, mashed potatoes. Everyone else had the 1 pound boiled lobster. The food was SO good! My steak was cooked perfectly to my liking, the Lobster was not over cooked considering how busy the restaurant was (it happens we've had our fair share of experiences). Very impressed. The staff ALWAYS made sure our table was cleared, checked in with us (even if they weren't our server) and was spectacular over all. Finally the dessert came out we did 2 Strawberry Mousse and one Key Lime Pie Jar. I loved the strawberry mousse. It was so good! The spot is a small mom and pop style, very welcoming and inviting. They have the place running very well considering how busy they've been. 10/10 would recommend checking out the spot and I myself would definitely come back - I have my eye on the Lobster Mac & Cheese!

LOBSTER ROLLS ALL DAY EVERYDAY (but better ones) We have just moved to the area and I found this spot less than 10 minutes away from our front door so we decided to try it. I will tell you right off the bat that parking is ATROCIOUS. I have no idea what we would have done if the few spots that were there were taken (probably would have gone somewhere else because it was a stressful tiny lot). We were seated promptly and it felt a little congested. I ordered the lobster bisque to start for my husband and I to share - now THAT WAS DELICIOUS. I should have just eaten 3 bowls of lobster bisque. We also ordered the clam cakes and those were kind of like hush puppies. My husband ordered the hot lobster roll and I ordered the cold and we split them. They were just okay, not the best I've had but certainly not the worst. For some reason we thought they had a happy hour - they did not. It felt very expensive for what we got (which seafood tends to be, but we left unsatisfied). We'll have to give them another chance, it might have been an off day.

What an amazing bite 30 deal! Everything was a full portion size, the lobster was abundant and everything tasted homemade. This was one of the best lobster rolls I've ever had, so fresh with huge lobster chunks. We waited about 30 min, they don't take reservations. Everyone left extremely full after the 3 course meal.

We walked in on a quiet Tuesday at 1 pm, and seated quickly. Noelle was our server and brought our awesome Sangria's. We decided to try a bowl of clam chowder to start. Delicious!! We loved how the clams and potatoes were cut small in the chowder. Next, we decided on the 3 pound signature lazy man's style lobstah 165. It came with 2 sides which we chose Cole slaw and sweet potato mash. The presentation was beautiful, the lobster was chewy, and the scallops were cut up in small pieces. I would definitely not order this meal again. I will go back and order a regular meal because everything I saw come out looked fantastic. I just believe we ordered the wrong meal for us! Noelle was an amazing server and did a great job. The ambiance was a perfect seafood restaurant which is a surprise in downtown Apopka! We parked in a lot across the street. We will be back but with different choices in mind!
