Customer Reviews
I visited a few weeks ago but just now had an opportunity to write my review. But I'm pretty sure nothing has changed. I don't know what possessed people to go here but when that lady served me the food I went and ordered a Lobster rolls specifically because I saw the reviews. Never again will I still place in a foot that looks like this. Even when we walked out the door my daughter said "Mommy I thought the place looked kind of shady. " And she was right bc what tf is this? Reference pictures. If they don't clean and keep the front tank up support what makes your I want to eat at this place? The food looks nasty The service was ghetto The atmosphere naturally disgusting... 🤮 Would you eat here? I wouldn't... The lady tried to serve me that cold looking lobster roll, I asked for my money back , a refund and I walked out.
The food is delicious and the service is awesome. We’ve been to this restaurant several times. Melissa the server is just the best. If you are looking for great seafood Lobster Haven is the place for you!
Incredible all around! I started with a cup of lobster chowder and followed with the scallops, which came with red potatoes and a piece of corn on the cob. The chowder was very rich and creamy, with plenty of lobster. The scallops were tender and well seasoned. We finished with the banana fosters cheesecake and bread pudding because we couldn't pick between them. It was clean and charming inside. Everyone was so attentive, too!
Food and service was wonderful. My wife and I had a lobster roll and Caesar salad. Both were great. My only complaint is the size of the portions. When we left we saw someone else eating a lobster and it looked great. We'll be back to try one
First timer at this gem and I'm glad I made a u-turn to try it out. On this day service was efficient, effective and friendly. I enjoyed the quaint appearance, it was cozy. They have a bigger menu than expected and I can't wait to try more things. I had the seafood chowder and the ucon lobster roll. This definitely hit all the marks I was looking for on this cold day. The chowder was hearty and stuffed with salmon, cod, and veggies, next time I'm going for a bowl instead of the cup (the cup was pretty big regardless). The Lobster roll was exactly what I was looking for, chunky pieces of lobster stuffed into a buttery seared/toasted bun and melted butter on the side so I can bathe the meaty chunks. Price wise the apps are reasonable. The Lobster roll is $30. I do think that at that price point maybe a different choice of side other than chips would be a better match. They do offer choice of potato salad (which I enjoyed) or Cole slaw to go along with the chips. I will definitely return and look forward to becoming a regular while I'm in the area. They also have a seafood market as soon as you walk in where you can purchase some seafood. I did not explore this option today but it's good to know.
