Reviews for Blue Lobster in Berlin, CT
My little family and I just relocated to Connecticut a few weeks ago from California. My daughter and I love trying new... restaurants and The Blue Lobster was one of our first. We walked in and a man in the back looked at us as if we were covered ins***, then turned around and went back to talking, did not acknowledge us whatsoever. However, after about 2 minutes a womancame out and created us with a big smile and told us we can sent anywhere we want. As we walked to our sits some other customersyelled out "welcome, we'd love for you guys to join us". We were brought our drinks and then there was a waitress sent over totake our order, she was so sweet, professional, and fast. They don't offer much as far as food selection, and I would describethe food that they serve as comfort food. Nevertheless, I ordered the lobster roll and fries, and when I say they served me thebest lobster I ever had, I'M NOT KIDDING, it was literally the best I've ever tasted, it was cooked to perfection and the fireswere AMAZING. My daughter had their chicken strip dinner, which was served with a food that I thought she hated, coleslaw;however, she eat every bit of it and said "I guess I do like coleslaw". My daughter topically leaves a little food on her platewhen we go out, but when we went here, she eat every thing on her plate. So why only one stars? The men in the back really lefta bad taste in my mouth. He was very rude and dismissive, although the amazing food, amazing staff, and super sweet customersmade it an all around great experience. I can't get over the fact that someone would act in that manner to someone walking intotheir establishment to spend money. It's just mind-boggling when I come across people like that men, it's even more bothersomeknowing that the staff know he's an a**, which makes him comfortable with treating people in a nasty manner. He made us feelvery unwelcomed, only seconds before the lady came out to set us, my daughter asked if we could leave. Read more
We had a great first experience here. The seafood is excellent. My crab cakes were not the best I have had, but they were quite... good. I tried some fried shrimp and it was great. Some of the best I have had since we left Baton Rouge. The décor is invitingand cozy. They have a nice coy pond just outside the window. The service was excellent considering it was full when we arrived.Definitely worth trying if you like fried seafood. Read more
(Last visited 7/21/2021.) I ride past this place ALL the time heading to various places since it's located right on the... southbound side of the Berlin Turnpike. Bae said we needed to try this place "someday". Today is that day... here's how itwent... Atmosphere/Appearance: Like I mentioned earlier, this place is set right on the southbound side of the Berlin Turnpikefor everyone to see! There's a decent sized private parking lot and round driveway with 2 entrances/exits for convenience.There's also a lovely outdoor section lined with umbrellas to hang out at during the warmer months. The inside offers a bit ofan "at sea" or "at the pier" type of vibe with lots of light colors, light woods and white walls. It's fairly straightforwardthough. I wanted to take my food back to the crib with me so I ordered to go. Service: Pam took care of me and she was awesome.She was really sweet, answered all of my questions with confidence and just made sure I had a good experience even if it was ashort one. Food: So I got Bae and I 2 Jumbo CT Lobster Rolls with side orders of sweet potato fries. The CT lobster roll is onethat's served warm and with melted butter. That's the ONLY way to go! None of that cold mayonnaise lobster salad stuff. (That'scalled Maine style at this restaurant.) The lobster rolls also come in 2 sizes. Regular and Jumbo. Now I don't know weights,amounts or anything like that, but I can tell you that the sandwiches we had were STUFFED with lobster. The sandwich was soheavy and lobster was just spilling out all over the place whenever I took a bite! It was deliciously warm, juicy, fresh andjust incredible. Lobster rolls really are a treat whenever I get to have them. The sweet potato fries were okay, but for whatthey costed they should've been better or at least come with some sort of dipping sauce to complement them. But... for how muchthis meal costs. I can't eat there every day. Value: Alright... ready for this? This is the single most expensi Read more
Great food and friendly service. The food was fresh and was not soaked in oil. It was a little pricey but so worth it
One word....yummy! My husband and I ordered the fried fish sandwich (on a Martin's potato roll) and fried clams. Excellent... service and excellent food! Support local business! ???? Read more
Been craving some fried oysters for some time so decided to stop in during my lunch break. First time customer by the way.... Ordered the oysters lunch platter, waited for 0 mins, friendly staff and amazing prices!! Oysters were perfect, not overly friedat all and the tarter sauce was very tasty. Definitely will be returning to try more items from the menu. Highly recommend thislocal gem! Thank you ???? Read more
Other than the people being nice which is what the two stars were for, the food was overpriced in small portions and was... absolutely gross. I payed 18 bucks for a lobster roll. It was greasy overly salty and a very tiny portion. It was 3 dollars fora very small side of coleslaw. Drive and hour or two to get to lenny and joes, its worth it. I spent 75 dollars in total.
