Best place for Lobster?*~

[Kam7185]

Craving lobster and was curious as to where we should go. I live in Indy right now, and the best places seem to be chains; Oceanaire, Fleming's, Bonefish, Mortons, Mitchell's..........

ANY INSIGHT?

Thanks

We ended up at Bonefish. For $27 we both got twin tails and two sides. The tails were better than average, about 4 oz each. But, we won't be rushing back soon for them. For sides we had the whipped potatoes and the au gratin. Yikes, when the whipped arrived they appeared to be a scoop of some freaky cafeteria concoction and those were sent back immediately. The au gratin were the very best thing I have had in years. We didn't bother with dessert or appetizers- couldn't even finish both lobster tails and didn't even get more than three bites of potatoes!

I think next we'll try the tempura lobster at flemings!

I used to work as a sternman on Lucky Lady II on North Haven, much higher class than Vynyl Haven (sic). Chains hurt my teeth except on scallop drags.
Seriously. Weathervane?

Narraganset Lunch in Maine - paper plates and you sit on the patio. But the lobster is fresh and the prices are great. Every time we visit Maine, we make it a point to go there.

I have been to Bonefish on a couple of occasions and have always ordered the lobster. It's always been expertly prepared

I've had good lobster at Oceanaire in DC, but can't speak for its other locations.

I wouldn't go to a steakhouse for lobster.

Thanks for the replies! I've actually had very good steak at steakhouses before.... upscale chain and privately owned.

Has anyone tried the lobster at Bonefish?

Hmm, so have I. But you were asking about LOBSTER, right?

Oy, no wonder professors have always insisted that I proofread!

Not sure what the downside could be to getting a lobster at a chop house. It's one of most chop houses 'specialties', like they do it well!

Mortons or Ruth's Chris are pretty good, RC's had a dinner for two 5 lb lobster for $100, a good deal.
