Lobster Shop - Tacoma (WA)

5 /5 James ST: I chose this restaurant to celebrate my birthday dinner, and it turned out to be a lovely experience overall. The ambiance was warm and charming, especially comforting on a gloomy, rainy evening. It felt cozy and inviting the moment we walked in. Every dish we tried was beautifully presented and delicious. The flavors were thoughtful, and the seafood in particular was cooked perfectly. I couldn’t stop thinking about the lobster risotto and scallop. My other dining companions also got shrimp scampi and rockfish which they enjoyed. The only miss for all four of us was the lobster bisque, which unfortunately leaned a bit too salty for our taste. Aside from that, everything else exceeded expectations. A special shoutout to our server, Scott E. He was impeccable. Attentive without being intrusive, incredibly professional, and genuinely thoughtful throughout the night. His service truly elevated the experience and made the dinner feel enjoyable. I’d absolutely return and would happily recommend this place for a special occasion!

5 /5 Merren M: Another great experience! We decided to have our wedding reception here in one of their semi private rooms and let me tell you, it was some of the best customer service Ive seen in a LONG time. Both of our servers were AMAZING! The food delivery was like a dance. Every course perfectly timed and tasted amazing as usual! Thank you again!

5 /5 Clint Harding: We attempted to have dinner here but came across an issue and were not able to attend. We seen the good reviews and did not want to miss trying this restaurant, so we had lunch. The sourdough bread was very good to start. We had the soup and sandwich combos. We tried the lobster bisque (delicious) and had both the Connecticut and Maine lobster rolls. The rolls were both extremely tasty and worth getting. Our server was very friendly and attentive. The view is pleasant. We will definitely return to try their dinner service. Dont miss on this gem!!

5 /5 Alice Shen: We’ve been here twice in a month already — yes, we came to use a gift card and the 25% veteran discount — but honestly, we would’ve come back anyway! Love the food, love the view, and the service has been great both times. Everything was just as good as I expected. For our first dinner visit, we had the Baked Lobster Dip, Lobster Risotto, and the 3-course Twilight Dinner (with chowder, Sockeye Salmon, and the Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse Torte for dessert). Everything was so good we were practically licking our plates! The second time, we came for lunch — the crab cakes were spot on, and the fish & chips were perfectly chunky and crispy (I was full after just one piece!). My husband had the Wagyu burger, which was juicy and flavorful. We’ll definitely be back again — great food, great view, and always a pleasant experience.
