Couldn’t speak highly enough of their service. We were treated a bit special and instead of staying 11/2 hours we were allowed to stay for nearly 3 hours. The food was fantastic and we were allowed to take home what was left as the servings were enormous. Cannot recommend a must have dish as they were all amazing. The waiter we had was lovely. Chatty but not over the top. Will definitely be going back.

way too expensive and quite ordinary food. I would not recommend it to anyone. Is this a restaurant or a marketing machine? They even gave us a free pen at the end of the night. Seriously $80+ for a main course and you want to give me a $2 biro.

we were given a gift docket and as this was our first time at Lobster Cave, we felt a little lost, firstly the food and service, was excellent, but the menu lost us, as first timers it would have been good for staff to explain , even guild us through quantity and type of food, cause what we ordered was far to much for 2 people, I think that maybe a " have you been here before sir" ? " no first time " may have changed things. Next time we will know what to expect.

First of all the open table menu was totally wrong. The seasonal lunch menu was not available. Instead of a $55 3 course meal we were offered a $100 or a $170 3 course meal. The meal was excessively overpriced . After enjoying Lobster Cave for the last 30 years I will never return. The waiter was the worst I have ever experienced.

The only suggestion I would make to the restaurant management & staff is to advise your customers that you do offer 3 course options as it is quite easily overlooked on the menu. We opted for a 3 course meal after overhearing another table ask for a separate menu. The choice to do so was a great option and all courses were thoroughly enjoyed by our group. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable and the overall service was excellent We had a very enjoyable lunch and will return again.

Overpriced. 2 good meals out of 4. Waitress was lovely and complimentary lobster tail was appreciated. Avoid the fettuccine with seafood. Kids loved the calamari.

I was given a $200 voucher for L/C and as I had been there a few times assumed it was much the same as it was, good seafood and a but pricey so thought I could add in some extra money if necessary.... I’m very sorry I hadn’t checked the menu. The prices charged for what it on offer is really over the top. I know seafood is expensive at the moment but this was ridiculous. Check the menu before you go

Perfect place to celebrate special occasion or Even just any normal day. I just wish that we could use those vouchers we bought any time even when there’s a special on offer.
