"Brayden is one of the best servers I ever had and I would highly recommend the lobster bisque and the caramelized sea scallops"

"Reservations only! Apparently they remodeled and have a new menu. However drinks and food were good! Some of us felt under dressed but others coming in also were dressed casual. White cloth tables and wine glasses set up. My husband got an old fashion and the ladies shared a bottle of wine. They had a kids menu! No coloring. No complaints from kids. They had pasta and fried shrimp. We had their fried calamari for an appetizer. The sauce that it came with was yummy. It had a spicy aftertaste but flavorful. Kids all ate it. My husband got the Lobster Arrabbiata and really enjoyed it. Spicy pasta. Our friends got the lobster roll and it came with 2 on a plate with string fries. It was a lot! They said it was very good. I got the blackened redfish. Seasoned very well and paired well with the fried green tomatoes, arugula, and wine. (Our server also recommended the blackened redfish and the ravioli.) Our friends got the ravioli and loved it as well! Overall great experience, food just took a little bit longer but we were a table of 10."

"Top notch service and amazing dishes. Everything is super fresh and perfectly seasoned. The desert was great too. I love it when the chef understands that you don't need loads of sugar to create a balanced desert. Highly recommend eating here."

"The renovations are nice and clean with a new menu to boot. The prices are consistent with the quality of the food in that area. The scallops appetizer and lobster soup were absolutely delicious and the best parts of our dinner. The fried fish kids meal had great fish but the fries were average. The lobster roll had some lobster pieces combined with a lobster salad on a tasty toasted bun. The lobster ravioli had great flavor but again, was more lobster paste then lobster pieces. The tuna dip had great flavor, but it was a little too loose for me and the chips it came with were just ok. We found it odd they did not have crackers to eat the dip or soup with when we asked."

"This place was very recently updated. I understand there is a new fresh menu, as well as an upgrade to the inside of the restaurant. Jose was our Dominican waiter, and he was extremely attentive. We sense he has experience in fine dining. So far, his has been the best service we have received while dining in the area. The timing of our appetizers and food arriving at the table was perfect. We ordered a bottle of wine, Jose checked on us quietly and frequently to fill our wine glasses. Our 16 and 11 year old kids were with us. They don't have it on the menu, but if you ask for something like chicken strips, they do have it, which made this enjoyable for all of us. Our meals were PERFECT! The calamari was very good and so was our entrée. I recommend the Tournedo, which is two tenderloin medallions topped with scallops, a nice sauce, and vegetables. The executive chef came out to greet our table. He offered a little insight as to how they prepared the meal and how they are working through menu items, which he suggests may be tweaked as the restaurant gets fully underway again. Our service and food was 1st class. Thank you, Poppy's Crazy Lobster, for making this such an enjoyable experience for my family."
