Seafood highs and lows.

The Spiny Lobster is where seafood dreams come true, at least for some. With dishes like scallops and monkfish, it’s no surprise that Ian and Frazer Bennett are raving about the flavors. The open kitchen adds to the ambiance, making it a fun spot to dine. You might feel like a seafood royalty when served by Tini, who gets a fair share of love for her impeccable service.

However, not every dish is a winner. While the seafood shines for some, others like Teresa and Andrei found the prawns mushy and the fish oddly flavored. It’s a mixed bag, so approach with caution if you’re expecting consistency. 🦞
