Great ambience, food & service.

5/5 by Médina A. on 03/25/2022

I really liked the options on their menu & they are perfect for a single person, couple or group! The staff are really informative & helpful & guide you well through the dining experience.

4/5 by Christian L. on 03/06/2022

My only complaint is that the final seating in the establishment is at 10 PM. This place truly is a social club and I believe should offer a membership to its top customers.My friends and I had a dinner party and had a very nice corner booth in the red room. We took a culinary ride that ended with all of us fully satisfied. The surf and turf sushi roll with lobster, the dry rub curry wings, the wasabi oysters, the fillet skewer, all were excellent to start it up. Unfortunately they were sold out of the Madagascar prawns. We ordered the porter house and asked for it to be prepared medium and unfortunately came out over temperature. Wagyu fried rice was delicious. The tomahawk was also excellent. Overall the ambience was great and the service was on point. I will be back to explore more items on the menu very soon.

Flavors that delight the palate and ambiance that

5/5 by Braydon M. on 03/04/2022

Flavors that delight the palate and ambiance that tantalizes the brain. Draped in original classic art and designed by Peter Marino, the Lobster Club has a large beautiful modern bar, complimented by a lovely lounge area, always complimented with great music. I must say that this is truly one of New York City's gems. The Japanese style, Wagu Skirt (medium rare), was worth writing home about, compliments to the chef! The wine selection, immaculate and meticulously done. If you're a fan of Japanese whiskey, this is also your venue. From business casual, to smart, well dressed and chic, on the forefront of fashion and art the Lobster Club has it all. It's fun, yet very romantic. The soulful music had me at hello!

🙂

Interesting staff.

4/5 by Shab C. on 02/25/2022

... But other than that the food was good. The broccoli was delicious. Shrimp fried rice tasty but a oily. The service was perfect. The steak and lobster tasty and everything else decent, not bad. Other than the fact that the characters employed were a bit strange, 8/10. Would prob go back if back in town.

🙂

Classic spot that I believe shares a kitchen with the Grill

4/5 by Jordan W. on 02/09/2022

Classic spot that I believe shares a kitchen with the Grill and the Pool. Great food, but much more casual / potentially younger crowd. Food is great, and we ordered just about everything. My favorite items were the lobster wasabi appetizer, the octopus, the lobster dumplings, the steak, and the chicken. Also had most of the cocktails which were great as well. Great spot for a management or business dinners in midtown.

😍

5/5 by Yvonne M. on 01/30/2022

Delicious evening with friendly attentive service! The coconut rock shrimp, wok lobster, pork gyoza and crispy rice with tuna & salmon is a must try! I loved the wagyu skirt steak as well, melt in your mouth and enjoyed the different sauces. The snickers kakigori was so good, not overly sweet. It's a beautiful restaurant to be wined and dined at!

🤢

2/5 by Andrew B. on 01/22/2022

Another beautiful restaurant that would be exceptional if you could eat the decor instead of the food. Our waiter made a big deal about asking us the order we wanted for our food, and then the kitchen delivered it exactly in the opposite manner. It was very odd, as we didn't care, but had an entire strategy session over it at the waiter's impetus, and then it was utterly meaningless. The toro was very good, but the rest of the meal, from the spicy toro roll to the bass teppanyaki were a mix of mediocrity. Such an iconic location deserves far far better.

😒

3/5 by Jon T. on 01/13/2022

Sushi was mediocre particularly when considering price / value. Space is great and staff was nice/hospitable but overall price / value was subpar

3/5 by Tony Y. on 01/01/2022

I really loved The Grill and The Pool and was hoping The Lobster Club would be on par. Sadly, I don't think it was. While nothing was inherently wrong, it just wasn't that impressive. The spicy cucumber salad was presented beautifully and almost looked like a sushi roll. But it didn't taste any different than a spicy cucumber dish from any local Sichuan place that would've cost a fourth of the price. The crispy rice was good but you can get the same at most Japanese restaurants. The wasabi lobster was just half a tail, tasted fine but again, nothing special. The lobster dumplings were very good but I wouldn't come here just for those. Three octopus was slightly overcooked. It was perfect on the thinner end but dry on the thicker part. The Japanese wagyu and American wagyu were probably the best part of the dinner. Both were great cuts but I wished it was cooked a bit more rare. All the sauces that went with it was fun too. Pricey but good. The sushi pieces are all very forgettable. I would much rather go to a real sushi restaurant for this. The sushi rice was not good. The yuzu dessert was pretty refreshing and was like a Japanese key lime pie. In regards to service, they didn't give us a menu until we asked. And at one point decided to pour me tap water when I've been having sparkling all night. Other than that, they were pretty friendly and attentive. Overall, I thought the pricing was a bit high for the quality. The sushi was not impressive and comes at a premium when I can get better for less at dozens of other places. The beef was the only thing good here so if you feel like your wallet is too full, you can enjoy some high end wagyu here. I would not come here again. Especially when I can pay the same price next door and get a better meal at The Grill.

😍

Fantastic time! I was there over Christmas Eve.

5/5 by Secil A. on 12/29/2021

The waiter, Markus, was by far one of the best waiters I have ever interacted with. If I had a restaurant, I would literally beg him to join mine - he created a very light hearted, happy environment. I had the coconut rock shrimp and lobster dumplings - both were very good. Lobster tempura hand roll didn't taste anything special but was good. New York strip was very good and came with about 6 different sauces to try. The garlic rice wasn't special. For dessert, warm okinawa cake tasted heavy but I absolutely loved the kakigori - it was basically a big shaved ice dessert. I also had a side of match ice cream that was good. For cocktails, melon mojito was absolutely divine. Then I got the lychee martini but that tasted a tad too sweet. I can't wait to go back, this is certainly one of my go-to places in the city!In terms of the crowd, it was mainly couples and families. However, during the week, because it's so close to corporate offices, I assume it would feel more corporate. On Christmas Eve, it felt very cool, trendy while cozy at the same time.

😍

This is by far one of the best meals I have had in NYC.

5/5 by Jennifer D. on 12/20/2021

Markus was our server and was probably one of the best servers I have ever had in my life. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable about everything on the menu, he also had an incredible personality. He made our experience even better. He also knows all the off menu items, which I highly suggest if you are there during truffle season get the white truffle rice. The lobster dumplings and all their sushi is incredible. We did the tomahawk steak and it was cooked to perfection. Everything was perfect.

Appointment Trader

😍 5/5 Review by AcceptableParcel20 (03/24/2022 9:35 am)

Wow! First time using this website/app. It was almost hard to believe the quality of customer service I received as soon as I posted my offer. A private chat forum with me and the person helping me find the best option. Constant communication and a wonderful experience using Appointment Trader. I'm surprised it took me this long to find AT but this will now be my GO TO for hard to get restaurant reservations. It was like having my own private concierge.

Last minute trip to Mexico City for Art Week. Busiest weekend in CDMX and AT came through and got us into Pujol. On Friday night … for four people! Amazing. I couldn’t believe it. Highly recommend this app.

Miami Beach Hot Spot Success!

😍 5/5 Review by CosmicLinen30 (02/24/2022 11:59 am)

My first experience using AT was awesome and the AT support saved the day! When my booking transfer initiated two days earlier but didn't complete by the day of the reservation, AT was able to expedite the transfer and confirm a table at Call Me Gaby in Miami Beach. Boss confirmed an excellent experience when he arrived and no issues to report. Thanks, AT! I will definitely be back and thank you very much for your prompt assistance!

😍 5/5 Review by CloseFiction30 (11/10/2021 8:40 am)

There was one restaurant we really wanted to visit in NYC and AppointmentTrader made that possible. Then when we had issues with the reservation transfer they were so quick to respond and fix the problem. We’ll definitely be using this again in the future.

Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/09/2021 5:10 pm)

Best Answer It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

Working on your bid?

Question by DemurePain59 (10/01/2021 1:24 pm)

Best Answer Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.

Process after bid is accepted.

Question by EvocativeFold67 (09/17/2021 8:11 pm)

Best Answer Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.

Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?

Question by ColorfulRod45 (07/13/2021 3:55 pm)

Best Answer Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.

What happens if my bid expires unanswered?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/08/2021 5:55 pm)

Best Answer Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
