Lobster Cove — Restaurant in York

I was super excited to come here. Oh, wait, that was another place called lobsters of the boat, but they were closed, so searched and found here instead.

It's situated right off the coast, so there is an excellent view. It's almost worth the cost of admission alone for that.

There were 2 of us. My other half had the twin lobsters. I tried to have a beer on draft. Couldn't because the tap was broke. It got fixed later though.

We had some fried clams for appetizer. Was fresh and good, though took about 20 minutes to come. Drinks took forever as it appeared they were short staffed.

Of course, it may be that we we're upstairs where people were. If had chosen to sit downstairs, the service would probably be better as there was much less tables filled. Much quieter too.

My lobster roll came along with the twin lobsters. The lobsters were great. The lobster roll? It was bland as could be, though a lot of salt and pepper gave it some flavor. The waitress promised she would come by and see if liked. If didn't, she'd get me something else. I never had an opportunity to get something else as she never came back. Those at the bar was keeping her busy.

We're into this an hour and finally got meal so might as well eat it. The twin lobsters was a great value. Not sure how long food sat downstairs before being brought up as potatoes were cold, but the lobster had good flavor.

Our waitress when available has a great personality.

Overall, we had the privilege of paying about 75.00 for a a substandard experience and will probably seek alternatives in the area when the lobster mood strikes again. One additional star added for the great taste and value of the...

Really disappointing experience. We work hard in our daily lives. We came to York for a nice weekend away. Only having 3 days to spend here and unfortunately one of them was spent dining at this establishment.

Clearly this business is relying on its proximation to the ocean, because that's all it's got going for it.

Last night my partner and I were met with an underwhelming atmosphere upon entering. The bathroom is absolutely gross and seemingly hasn't been cleaned in a very long time. The calamari was rubbery, flavorless and you get the smallest portion for $15. The small cup of clam chowder for $7 (outside of the service) was the ONLY good thing here. His broiled haddock was abysmal. Zero flavor and extremely dry and overcooked- for $25 served with 3 minuscule pieces of asparagus. After eating the appetizer I assumed the food would be sub par and decided to order chicken tenders and fries, because you can mess that up right? Clearly whoever is cooking here has never tasted their own food. The fries were cooked in old grease and tenders also had zero flavor. For me to not be able to eat French fries, they have to be so bad. At this point in the service we were very disappointed.

Our server Paulo was very kind and apologetic about the experience. Not that it's his fault by any means. The owner or management should strive to do better.

A $50 bill, (after mine was removed for being uneatable) for food this bad is unacceptable.

We have to demand better as a society, and do better as...

I walked up with my daughter and asked for a to go lobster since I was staying across the street. The waiter said he would have to ask the manager and he did. The manager abruptly said no you can’t have takeout and walked away. I left and talked to my wife about it and decided that we would go and eat at the establishment. I called ahead and asked for a outside table, and again they abruptly said first come first serve, and hung up the phone. We showed up and made a request to sit at the one table that was available outside. The waiter said that they are not sitting outside and I motioned at the two tables that did have people sitting at them and had not yet ordered and the manager paused shrugged and said no can do, they have been here awhile. My family begrudgingly sat inside. We waited for ten minutes without being approached and decided to leave when we had to kill a few flies at the table. We went about a mile away to Foxes.... Had a great meal, friendly service and it was CLEAN! Skip this dump!

Thank you for responding. This is clearly not the manager who was there. Had he articulated any of your response, this post would not have been necessary. You really need to reconsider your managerial staff, almost anyone would’ve been better. He was not interested in helping me out or answering any questions. Just absolutely awful. But thank you very much for your response, it...
