I definitely found this place to be overhyped! After hearing and seeing so much about it, I was really disappointed. Paying over $33 (which includes $29 plus taxes) for such a small roll was quite frustrating. It only came with two packets of chips. We ended up spending over $66 for two rolls, but they felt more like a light snack, so we had to go elsewhere for lunch. While the taste was good, the size was a significant issue. It might be worth trying once, but it's really not worth the money.

Buddy at the counter didn't seem convinced this was the best place but it was recommended. Dropping down to 1* .. after the rest of my trip, the greatest disappointment of lobster I had. Wish I skipped it. Literally everywhere else is better. I don't recommend. For $32 CAD market price it was basically a folded grilled cheese size snack. Maybe I'm not used to lobster this close to the ocean but it was so salty it ruined the experience. I had a half and half, and yea.. warm half wasn't very good cold salad half was ok but again ruined by salt. Travel on from this below average tourist hut.
