Review by Mae Schinner

I recently dined at the Lobster Shop in Tacoma, and it was a delightful experience! 🦞

The cozy atmosphere, paired with a stunning view of the waterfront, set the perfect tone for our evening. I indulged in the lobster mac and cheese - truly comfort food at its finest! The grilled octopus starter was a highlight too.

We topped off our meal with their divine chocolate lava cake and some great coffee. The service was attentive and welcoming. Plus, I loved their accessibility options, which made our visit smooth. Reservations are definitely recommended; it gets busy! Can’t wait to return! 🍽️
