It’s a difficult one to write about. I myself am not a big seafood eater but my wife loves it. She really enjoyed the seafood on the surf & turf meal and like my food 400g scotch fillet (meat and potatoes man) the meat was average not cooked as requested as medium. Both of ours was slightly overcooked. My scotch fillet was thinly cut which was odd as my wife’s steak was a nice 1inch thick. Our sweet potato was nice and tasty. Overall I was disappointed, yes you can say it’s well known for the seafood but if you are not going to cook it perfectly for the price your paying, don’t offer it on the menu. It certainly was not worth $120 for the scotch fillet, to me it was worth $25. I have paid 60-80 for a steak that was easily 10x better than this while licking my fingers. We had also ordered an entre dish with seafood and calamari. The calamari I can honestly say was very nice. As a X butcher, I would not offer steak in this restaurant, stay true to the name of the business otherwise cook it perfectly ALL the time. Would I ever go again, NO. The service was great and it had a great atmosphere but the value is absolutely not there for us, unless you are an absolute lobster / seafood nut. I wish I could have written a better review.

We had a fabulous dining experience. The food is delicious and the atmosphere was amazing. We were served by amazing staff who went out of their way to please us. We were given complimentary chocolates, port and baileys. We would definitely recommend this restaurant.

I’ve had the pleasure of dining at Lobster Cave on 4 occasions and it seems to get better with each visit. When I tell my friends they say, how can you afford it, I tell them there are bargains galore. Can’t wait for my next visit.

A bit late for this review, but last month in May I brought my family there for a Friday lunch and we loved it. My parents are from interstate and my two aunts are from Singapore and USA and it was so good to be able to get together after so many years and have a nice day out for lunch. We all found the seafood fresh and delicious and the service was amazing from our server Elizabeth and the manager Sue.

Its definitely worth the drive wherever you reside at, it was stylish, Classy, and provides a great comfortable atmosphere to dine in at.I will be definitely going back for the delicious food and drinks which was more than enough for us. The pricing is very reasonable for the service and food you get provided. The staff are great and the host/ manager/ owner Con was funny and a fantastic host.

Went in early august to utilise my EOFY gift voucher. A hold on your credit card is needed to place a booking. I ordered the showcase platter and broccolini for a family of 3, sufficient food for us. The best bit of the platter was actually the steak, it was very good. The lobster was fresh and prawns was good too. However, the calamari was a bit disappointing for a place of this stature, I expected more. Overall it was a good 4 star experience. A good place for occasion.

I went lobster cave many times before Covid. Thanks to their EOFY promotion voucher, it bough me back again! We had the Lobster trio and Grilled lobster tails with chips as the Main. The food are fresh and sensational, the service is excellent and full of warm smile. We are so full to have any dessert! But I still remember many years ago their in house made ice cream was the best ever I had in Melbourne. I brought in our favorite wine with no cocktails! What amazing and forgettable experience! Yummy seafood!

Had a wonderful time at the lobster cave… Let’s be honest… This restaurant has been around for a very long time … and still managed to stay open, despite challenging times! Admittedly, I was a little surprised at how amazing the food and the service was from my experience eight years ago, which would be a four star, and now I could put 10 stars ⭐️ … Thank you so much.! Will definitely be back again.

I’ve always heard of the Lobster Cave and finally got around to trying it after buying some double value vouchers during one of the Covid lockdowns. Vouchers must be used in one sitting, so you feel compelled to get close to the face value. Servings are big, there’s no doubt about that and the ‘Perfect Starter with Prawns’ was almost a meal in itself. I love garlic bread so it was right up my alley – a good start! The scallop mornay was also a large serving for a starter, alas it was bland and I could barely taste any of the 3 cheeses. After this we had the Oceanic Platter and the Fritto Misto. Quantity was certainly there but the Fritto Misto all started to taste the same and it wasn’t particularly light on the batter. Desserts are $20+ each and pre-made and served in a glass and fairly disappointing. Creme brûlée was biggest I’ve ever seen in a restaurant but the chocolate mousse was as far removed from a mousse as I’ve ever seen. We overheard the table next to us ask for the dessert menu at the end of their meal but the waiter told them they had to vacate the table in 14 mins and there wouldn’t be time for dessert. These are pre-made and refrigerated desserts that take no time to grab out of the fridge and bring to the table! Overall, service was a bit amateur and messy. One waiter poured the finger cleaning bowl all over my phone, the table next to us had a wine glass knocked over and smashed by another waiter, the table on the other side of us had a water glass knocked over by the finger bowl waiter and our waitress removed salad bits from a bowl with her hand. It seems like a lot of customers are there on behalf of these two for 1 vouchers, so surely they need a better process in place. On calling and reserving my table, the woman took my voucher number and details. On arrival, we said we had a voucher and then at the end of the meal two different staff asked if we wanted to pay by card or cash. Then they want to take your phone up to the counter to scan the code and it’s just plain messy. Sort this out. Finally, I asked for the receipt and was told it would be brought to the table but a few minutes later after not receiving it, I went up to where they’d scanned the voucher and the waitress was holding onto the receipt and having a chat with her colleagues. Lobster Cave positions itself as reasonably high end (admittedly with an expensive product), but the service was way below that. I’m glad I tried it but for a meal a touch under $400, we didn’t feel amazed.

One of the best seafood restaurants around town. Service was good, food came out promptly despite a full restaurant. The drinks were a tad slow but the service and food made up for it. Will definitely go back and highly recommended for that special occasion.
