" I recently hosted a business dinner at The Lobster Club, and it was a hit! Everyone enjoyed the diverse offerings, including sushi and grilled options, all beautifully prepared. The service team handled our large group wonderfully, without a hitch. The only downside was the slightly slow dessert service, but it was delicious when it arrived! " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed a lovely dinner here, though there were a few hiccups with the timings. Our sushi orders took a while to arrive, but the staff was apologetic and attentive. Once served, the sushi was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is quite chic and ideal for a date night, but just keep in mind to give it some time. Overall, a positive experience.

" Had a casual meal here with friends, and overall had a pretty good experience. Although the prices are on the higher side, the food was prepared well, particularly the sushi rolls. Some of the appetizers felt small. However, the ambiance makes it a fun dining spot for gatherings. " (*Curated Review*)

" The Lobster Club truly exceeded my expectations! The lobster dumplings were exquisite, bursting with flavor. I also indulged in a serving of the Wagyu skirt steak, which melted in my mouth. The service was attentive without being intrusive, and the decor was impeccable. I will definitely be returning soon, especially for brunch with friends! " (*Curated Review*)
