I’d highly recommend this midtown stable restaurant. It’s serving Japanese inspired American fusion food. We love all of the dishes. The steak comes with all type of m sauces to your liking. The wagyu sandwich is a must get. We also ordered two fired rice, the fired rice portions are not too big, and if you come really hungry, you can finish one portion by yourself. Don’t forget to take a look at their dessert menu!

Trendy place with amazing food. Everything we ordered was sublimely good. The only downside is the wine list… it’s as thick as an encyclopedia, impossible to read, and the wines were obscenely expensive. The sommelier was quite rude, we know our wines and he didn’t like not to be useful…

I expected to have a good dinner at The Lobster Club, but this was a GREAT dinner! The ambience is tastefully elegant and a perfect place to have an amazing meal. I am not kidding when I say that everything I ordered tasted phenomenal. Something as simple as fried rice was able to produce flavors that were so rich and tasty that are difficult to find elsewhere. I have nothing more to say other than do not think twice about coming here. Book a reservation here asap and you will know exactly what I am trying to describe. It is impossible to make a bad choice with anything on this menu. I highly recommend you visit this place! I will definitely be returning to enjoy the food, service and ambience.

One of the best dining experiences in the city–especially if you love steak. They have a great range of options from 4-5 types of wagyu, even some American wagyu, and prime cuts as well. Steaks are served with 7 different sauces (almost overwhelming). The spicy toro roll was perfect. Service is always world-class here.

I visited The Lobster Club for a Saturday date night dinner after catching a show nearby. We were very excited to visit and they did not disappoint. Cool decor, music, and staff with decadent Japanese food made to share. We ate a few things and really enjoyed the wagyu sando and toro handrolls. The team was very helpful and attentive – taking the time to make sure we were having a good time and they insured we understood all the menu items. We will definitely be back.
