    First time at the Lobster Shack in East Haven. Went with the family for my parents' birthdays. Mom and Dad were happy and they enjoyed the food. Food: The meals included Penne Alla Vodka with Chicken, Crab Cakes, Hot Lobster Roll, Calamari, Fish & Chips, Garlic Bread, Cod Tacos, Cheese Pizza (kids), and Fried Clam Strips. Most dishes were a good portion and delicious. The crab cakes were perfect without too much breading. However, the fried clams had too many fries and not enough clams (compared to other seafood places around). Service: The host was great, respectful, and very understanding about our 5 minute delay for the rest of the group. The waitress was a bit of "one item at a time" but it still didn't take away from good service and us enjoying our meal. I definitely recommend this place. Already planning to return.
