This was our 1st time here & the food was phenomenal. Beautiful views, friendly staff & everything was clean. We will certainly be back. The baked stuffed lobsters were loaded with Lobster meat which was impressive. All the seafood was delicious & cooked to perfection.

We stopped for lunch after a whale watch. The food was incredible! We got the shellfish Algarve and the seafood orecchiette. Both dishes were enough food for 2 meals, everything cooked perfectly. The mocktails were also delicious! We can’t wait to be back in town, will definitely stop here again!

I’ve always had enjoyable times at the Lobster Pot. The food is consistently good to great. Last night I had the Baked Stuffed Lobster Fisherman Style, which comes with scallops as well. They consider it their signature dish, and it was very good, although I like some of their other dishes even more. The baked house spinach side was amazing. Great selection of cocktails, wine, and beers. We love the views of the water, of course. Just a delightful environment for a romantic dinner or a meal with family. Service is usually great. Parking can sometimes be a challenge.

Very disappointed in the lobster. We got surf and turf. The steaks were awesome however my lobster “saute” consisted of a small cup of stringy crunchy lobster that was covered in breadcrumbs and so.dry it was almost inedible. The mashed potatoes were also instant. I have no problem paying good money for good food but the $68

Just a fabulous evening! My children Nathan and Michael’s, wife and fiancé took us to dinner to celebrate my husband’s retirement, our 40 year wedding anniversary and the boys, twins, birthday. Me and my husband’s order was wrong. I was really looking forward to this outing since I wasn’t able to attend the last family get together due to illness. Well I just want all to know that the staff stepped up to the plate and provided top notch service!! Our meals were corrected ASAP and the waitress and owner made sure our needs were met, no fuss, no anger. No problem. I’m sorry we are not regulars, just special occasions. I’m also sorry I didn’t get the waitress name or the owner. You are both superstars in service In my book, I’ve personally dealt with how hard restaurant service can be. Thank you for making our special evening great!!

Went in and we were seated right away. There were only 2 other tables occupied. When the waitress came over,she brought us water and left about 10 minutes later she brought us bread. Maybe 10 to 15 minutes later she took our order,never asked us if we wanted a drink. We were there for atheist 30 minutes when the waitress placed a drink in front of me. A drink I didn’t order. Ten minutes later she walked by and I stopped her told her yhat I didn’t order that drink. She picked up the drink and left,still never asked if we wanted a drink. I got up and told the hostesses that I wanted to order a couple of drinks and that our waitress never asked if we wanted drinks.A few minutes later we got our drinks,by this time a few more people came in. My husband wanted to leave. He was going to put$5 on the table for the water and go. I said give it another minute ,luckily we got our drinks. The couple on the side of us asked 3 times for bread,they never got. A man,woman,and a child got up and left because they said they had waited 40 minutes and hadn even gotten their salad,when people came in after them and already had their meals. The food was very good. The service was very poor. We spent $128.00 plus $25.00 tip

Great view and good food. It took a while to get food (over an hour after sitting), but it came out hot and without issues in the order. The cost was high but reasonable. Will definitely be returning in the future!

Have dined inside several times, always 9-10/10. Outside experience was less than favorable. For walking out at $100+ easily, the tables need an upgrade. Service was lousy, food was decent but again not for that piece of change.

Beautiful location on the shores of Bristol Harbor. The food was adequate but not imaginative or gourmet: the blackened salmon was flavorful but not very spicy, the mashed potatoes were cold instant potatoes, the grilled asparagus was just that – no spices, and the avocado toast was rather plain. However, you can’t beat it for a beautiful location, with a lovely sea breeze keeping things cool during a summer heat

Staff was friendly and accommodating. Food was ok parking was terrible. Liked the outside dining but didn’t care for the plastic chairs that were wobbly. Beautiful neighborhood.
