Tender, sweet, juicy sauteed lumps of crab, cooked in butter and white wine sauce, melt on your tongue, as you sip a glass of white wine. Laughter comes free and easy, while a hot baked potato melts a pat of butter with rising steam. The salad is crisp and the homemade bread is warm and fluffy with a hint of garlic. ($21.25 is the price for this meal including another vegetable side).
Seafood couldn't be fresher, whether it is lobster, crab, or flounder, than that at The Lobster House on Fisherman's Wharf. The fishing boats are nestled just adjacent to the restaurant. Bounty from the sea is unloaded, every single day to the Lobster House.
Seating at the restaurant is complex in that seats are outside or inside a building or on a boat. It's all good.
The Crab Au Gratin is so thick, crabby, and cheesy that half of the meal is filling enough. The rest goes home into a doggy bag. You wouldn't want to waste it.
Server Anna is polite and professional, dressed in her nautical attire, as she glides around the room as the other servers do, in a seemingly nautical dance. The place is always busy.
Hot fudge brownie bubbling with molten thick, rich chocolate sauce, cooling caramel-tasting ice cream, and delicious whipped cream, topped with a cherry...is devoured reverently.
The Lobster House is a seafood restaurant, raw bar, docked Schooner America, take out counter, fish market, gift shop, and coffee house all arranged in an amazing and functional array.
From 34th Street, go to the Garden State Parkway (South) ramp in Marmora. Travel to exit zero, stay straight toward Cape May, over the bridge, and The Lobster House is there to the left.
