   The space is striking and beautifully designed. The menu feels somehow intriguing but also, over assorted and slightly overwhelming. I think it could do with some editing/streamlining. The food was good and nicely presented but not noteworthy. Pricing felt bloated and near excessive for what was ultimately presented. A nice overall experience but not worth the price. I probably wouldn't return or recommend it other than for cocktails and light bites.

   Located within the iconic Seagram Building—an architectural gem of modernism—the Lobster Club impresses with its wonderfully preserved retro interiors that transport you right back to the stylish flair of the ‘80s. While I’ve visited before, this time around, apart from the phenomenal chilled wasabi lobster, the food unfortunately fell short of expectations and was disappointingly subpar. However, our night was genuinely brightened by Sari, our joyful, humorous, and utterly delightful server, whose warmth and personality truly made the evening memorable. She’s the reason I’m writing this review, and I’d return just for her fantastic service!

   We’ve been here twice. Food is on a bit salty side but overall very tasty. Especially we loved Wagyu with variety of sauce presentation that always makes the whole meal feel special. However, we can not give 5 stars for the ambiance because they still allow some people with everyday sneakers and baseball hats that is absolutely out of their dress code policy. We, as customers, check our appearance before going in order to respect the policy and not to ruin entire ambiance and experiences for not only ourselves but for other customers dining in the restaurant however, we feel being not fully respected when we see multiple people dining there with baseball hats on. In the summer, we even saw family with short pants and flip flops, though they appeared obviously wealthy casually dining here spending $$$$ on a normal day but, totally was running the atmosphere, and the restaurant allows it.

   Wonderful. All dishes are to share. Study the menu before you go. Wait staff were very knowledgeable. Expensive but worthy
