    Adam was our server and he gave really good pairing options with the food. The food is always amazing and the atmosphere is fantastic right on the water.

    First time at A B Lobster. There is a great choice of seating inside and outside. The wait staff are very well knowledgeable on the menu and offer great choices as suggestion. The food was very well prepared and served promptly. The food was very tasteful. Great place for family, dates and business meetings.

    The beautiful setting of being located right on the water, matches the exceptional food. Make sure to order the escargot and lobster starter and do not miss the lobster risotto!

    We were seated outside as requested. Adam was our server and he did an exceptional job. His food descriptions were excellent. The meal was wonderful. The wine was chilled and the food was hot and the view was incredible. It was a perfect evening! We were stuffed at the end of the meal but Adam insisted that we take a slice of Key Lime pie back to the hotel with us. We both agreed it was the best we’ve ever had!

    Great appetizers and service. The filet mignons were overcooked and bland. Snapper was also bland and lacked excitement. Crabcakes were good. Overall service was outstanding and food was mediocre.
