Lobster Box Restaurant

We enjoyed another Couples night at the lobster box. Service and food is always great. There was a light crowd which was unusual for a Saturday night on City Island. Tried the seafood paella for two, it could easily feed four......

Existing reviews of thios City island institution are too old to be of value. Three of us enjoyed a great meal this week. Our booth had a view of Long Island Sound. Specials were posted at the blackboard at the entry and at the table. Our waiter Jorge was attentive and made sure water glasses were filled and used utensils replaced as needed. We had the warm appetizer for two which could easily feed four. Entrees came with house salads. Chilean sea bass was fresh and moist. Salmon was perfectly cooked and sauce was tasty. Seafood rissotto was delicious and liberally sprinkled with fresh lobster and shrimp, both well prepared. Desserts were somewhat basic, (apple pie with ice cream and rasberry sauce, tartuffo, and caramel custard. but well prepared.

Portions were large enough that we all took home about half the dish! Wide varirty of drinks available which we did not sample. Tables around us seemed to like and ordered more!

We plan to visit again.
