Eastham Lobster Pool

WENDY AND TOM DINE OUT

We can't give a full description of the Eastham Lobster Pool because we ate outside and did not get a look at the dining room. We gather from a description that someone else wrote that the dining room has a cement floor and the tables have metal chairs. Certainly nothing formal here! The outside seating affords the diner a view of Route 6, which is not all that picturesque. There are so many waterfront seafood restaurants on the Cape that we did not find a reason to return to this one. It does look attractive from the road and something about it entices you in. Once there the food is average.

Small salad ($3.95 plus $1.50 extra for blue cheese dressing) Very nice with big chunks of cheese in the salad dressing

APPETIZER:

ENTREE:

1 1/4 lb. Lobster a la Carte ($15.95 ) Average - Not served hot enough. A bit rubbery as if it had stood too long on a steam table.

Lobster Roll ($12.95) Good, a reasonable amount of lobster in a toasted roll

Fisherman's Platter without Lobster ($19.95 - add $6 more for lobster) Very good. Not a particularly generous portion. Average French Fries.

Parking in a large lot

Child friendly

Nice thick paper napkins!

OVERALL:

B -
Although the food wasn't bad here, we didn't care for the place. The prices seemed a bit high for the size of the portions. For some reason it felt like we were in a tourist trap instead of a real Cape seafood spot.
