Lobster Club

[Helenaeleanora]

Years ago in Malibu there was a restaurant called Granita, it had a delicious Lobster Club, Lobster BLT and when my Mother would visit from NY she would always want one. Any ideas if there are any restaurants that have something similar? Thanks!!

My mother had one that she really enjoyed at Catch (Casa Del Mar hotel in Santa Monica) a few months ago. And the setting is really beautiful.

It's been several years, but I had a great lobster club at the restaurant at the Getty.

Mariposa is a good suggestion--and you also get a delicious demitasse of bouillon to start (with an excellent cheese straw) and the wonderful popover. Another option is the Farm of Beverly Hills. The Palm used to offer a lobster blt at lunch, and could probably still do one on request, but it is not on the current menu; they have gone with a lobster roll instead.

When we have that itch (lobster blt) we scratch it at The Farm. Good (without straying into great territory). They have locations in B. Hills and at the Grove next to the 3rd Street Farmers Market in LA: http://thefarmofbeverlyhills.com/

We were at the Grove yesterday and noted the closure of the Farm there. Thought they have a location at LA Live in addition to the one in BH.

Good to know. We will have to stick with the B. Hills "flagship" location... ;-D>

The Grove's ex Farm location will soon be Gordon Ramsey's "The Fat Cow" casual restaurant due to open sometime this summer.

I love the Lobster Club @ Mariposa/ Neiman Marcus Beverly Hills.
It's not the BLT but it's avocado, hardboiled egg, bacon and lobster on toasted white bread. It's delicious. I'm sure they would improvise with the tomato and lettuce if you asked.

latindancer: I agree that the Lobster Club at NM is damn good.

I think they also have one at the Bar on Four at the NM in Beverly Hills.

Check with Santa Monica seafood. They have a cafe...and although I'm not sure it's on the menu on a regular basis (I think I've seen it as a special), I'll bet they could make it for you. I went to Granita when I lived at the beach. They had terrific food.

Granita was a Wolfgang Puck restaurant in Malibu. Around the same time that Puck opened Granita in Malibu, he also opened Postrio in San Francisco. The Lobster Club was the star of both shows. It really was pretty amazing. Now, it is not all-that-unusual to find a lobster club on a menu. Really, we are only talking about an excellent BLT with addition of lobster.
