Pince and Pints - No queue at 5.15pm on a Friday!

So I met Twink for an afternoon of R&R on a Friday afternoon, we decided to do dinner at 5.15pm on a whim at Pince and Pints and also because this place is notorious for having a long queue and no reservation.

Here we are and there are only 3 items on the menu but to me it is 4 because for the whole lobster there is the Steam and Grilled option which taste totally different. Ok I have to confess, the menu came as a wire cage of some sort which you lobsters are caught in and I was wondering where are the food options on this piece of wire. Took me a while to find the options. All lobster options were prices at $48.

Did not take photo of the menu - Dang!



At 5pm, there was no queue and the restaurant was more than 50% empty which was perfect for us. Staff were attentive at that time and they attempted to explain to us what was on the menu.

Twink suggested one steam and one grilled whole lobster and we share the dishes. It was an excellent choice as we tasted the lobster meat in its pure form. The grilled version had a nice smoky taste and juicy.....mmmmmhmm.


Grilled whole lobster



Steamed whole lobster - over salted water


Both came with salad, shoe string fries and also a herbed butter sauce. The herbed butter sauce was really thick, no way you can pour it out but I enjoyed it anyway.

The other 2 options were Chili lobster and Lobster roll. They both looked great while we spied at the other tables when they were served. I read on other blogs that the lobster roll was heavenly. Maybe next time I will order the lobster roll.

The bill came up to $121 for 2 lobster dishes and 1 non-alcoholic cocktail. Not cheap but nice otherwise. Will I come go back? Maybe.

One question we had, were the lobsters fresh or frozen?
