My wife and I love lobster rolls. We couldn't wait to try the lobster at a recently opened here where we live in Fairfield, CT. Boy were we disappointed. Not only did we have terrible sickness after eating there, I later found out they don't cook any... See More of the food on site. They are just reheating cooked lobster meat and pawning it off as fresh lobster. Just beware of this Nothing is fresh, and you will be lucky not to get sick as we did. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting See Less
