I've never given six stars to a restaurant so I wasn't sure how. So I posted the one, and I hope Yelp assumes the other five. Anyway, from the start this restaurant was just what we needed. First, because of its reputation it was the only place we could get into on a Saturday in August. Thank goodness after all these years more people don't like it it or we couldn't have gotten in here either! Second, though we were six adults, and the restaurant was almost completely empty, the hostess seated us at a table for 3 (by adding a chair in the aisle where servers walked by throughout the meal). This helped us all grow closer as a family, since we had to interlock our knees under the table and coordinate movements like "I'm going to switch legs now" and "I'm going to eat now so don't move your right arm." It was the kind of physical proximity we could ordinarily only get in coach class on an airplane. (And the meal cost a little less than plane tickets.) Plus the table was right between the kitchen and bathrooms so the food got right to us. Next, because I asked for a different table, the manager, who initially tried to throw us out, applied an automatic twenty percent tip to our bill. Again, exactly what we needed. It took all the guesswork and math out of trying to calculate a tip. Not that we would have given less. The server was. (Not a typo- he just was.) To encourage us to eat our food the old fashioned way, he didn't bring us silverware until after the food was served. That was fun! Like being a kid again. He also didn't bring the bottle of wine we ordered until dessert. If he'd brought it when we initially ordered it, we probably would have had another bottle and spent way too much money - or gotten a little tipsy. (We walked to the restaurant but still...) So kudos to that waiter, who had little nicknames for each of us. Like "big guy" for me, since I've put on a few during COVID, "lovely lady" for my 20 year old daughter, "dear" for my stepmother, and "boss man" for my son. It made each of us feel so special- like we were on an authentic Southern Plantation! Then there's the food. I didn't know I could appreciate undercooked fried clams so much. The batter was still so doughy and gooey that I didn't get that guilty feeling I usually get when i eat crispy fried food. It was like raw clams with cake batter on them. Very unique take on a traditional dish. Sorry: One bit of criticism just so the place doesn't seem too good to be true: the cookies in the ice cream dessert are dry. I don't recommend it. But now I'm just nitpicking. Focusing on the positive again, after dinner we all had a nice walk home- and after only 50 minutes! They had us in and out of there so quickly - because they promised our table to three people with a 9pm reservation- that we were able to get on with our night and not linger on the hard wood benches we'd been squeezed into. Just when I thought our Lobster Trap experience was over- at 1215am- I was awakened by my stomach, as the whole delicious meal was moving up to my throat. Thank you, Lobster Trap, for this. See, I'd bought some Pepcid a couple of years ago. And it's been just sitting in the medicine cabinet. But because of the quality of all the great restaurants up here I've never had a chance to test it out. It took going to the Lobster Trap to find out the Pepcid was a waste of money. Even though I took two tablets, I still threw up those fried clams, and the tiniest bacon wrapped scallops I've ever seen. I actually wasn't even sure there were scallops inside the bacon on the toothpicks when I ate them. But at about 1am, I finally saw them. So shame on Pepcid. And thank you again Lobster Trap! It was just what I needed!
