    Amazing lobster rolls The lobster bisque is delicious Great service by leo Great little place in la jolla

    Stopped by for a scrumptious lobster roll. Since we don't get lobster rolls often, we opted for the Boss, which comes with 4.5 oz of meat (vs 3 oz for the Classic. We also got the flight of all 3 soups, which is served in Scoop sizes. Overall the food was delish. Lobster rolls was legit. The meat was fresh and plump. The brioche is done just like in Maine. We liked the chowder and the bisque but the crab soup was our least favorite. The service was courteous and prompt. We'd definitely come back next time we're in town and in the mood for some lobster!

    Foooood!!! I love lobster rollllll Staff was really nice and food was good too! Recommend!

    Chowder flight
    Chloe Y.

    Loved the mom and pop shops feel of this restaurant. The flight of soup was wonderful to try all the varieties if you can't decide. The classic clam chowder is our favorite however all the soups had their fun flair. Thier soups are different from the other chowder joints. We enjoyed the uniqueness of each soup. The lobster roll was also bomb. Do try to stop by if you are in the area.

    Actually found this place on Yelp after wanting to try a lobster roll close to home. The space itself is clean, casual, and has that beachy, laid back vibe. Staff were friendly and helpful, even during a bit of a rush. Only downfall was that I had to stand and wait for a table to open up for a while, even with people sitting at tables that weren't dining there, they were just waiting for their food to go. The lobster itself tasted fresh and buttery, and you definitely get that rich, satisfying flavor you're hoping for. The bread was soft with a nice toast on it, which pulled everything together. That being said...for the price, I was expecting just a little more. The portion felt a bit on the lighter side, and I found myself wishing there was more lobster packed in there. Still, it hit the spot and I'd come back when I'm craving a good lobster roll without having to go somewhere super fancy or far. Overall: good food, nice vibe, just slightly pricey for what you get. But then again it's lobster and crab so expect to spend a little.

    Crab rolls, we split the combo sides

    Our first stop in Coronado was at Lobster west and it definitely satisfied my craving. I got a crab roll with chips and slaw on the side. Make sure you get a side of their lemon tarragon aioli on the side! Our food came out very quick and staff was friendly. Love the beachy vibe. The only thing I would change is to maybe make it easier to order sides. I just would like one side but you have to choose two for an extra charge. (Bonus points because I saw the staff constantly checking food temps and cleaning)

    Lobster Grilled Cheese

    $19 for a lobster grilled cheese. Flavor was good and the cheese was mild to my liking. Size was kind of small so I would say that it is the perfect snack rather than a meal. Overall a good experience.

    Service was amazing. Edwin was attentive, helpful, and gave great recommendations. The lobster bisque was great! Prices are reasonable and portions are great. Loved the tables outside right outside of the public street.

    Lobster and Crab Roll with Clam Cowder
    Braxton H.

    Amazing lobster & crab rolls + family-owned gem! I had such a great experience at Lobster West. You can really tell it's a family-owned restaurant that takes pride in their food and service. Everything felt welcoming, fresh, and made with care. I ordered the lobster roll and crab roll, and both were delicious--super flavorful, fresh, and packed with seafood. The portions were very reasonable, and for the quality you're getting, the price felt really fair. The biggest surprise for me was the clam chowder--it was seriously so good that I ended up ordering a second portion because I couldn't get enough. Creamy, rich, and full of flavor. Overall, Lobster West is an awesome spot if you want fresh seafood, generous portions, and great value. I'll definitely be coming back!

    I had the clam chowder and my husband ordered the lobster roll, both were great. We sat outside under the string lights, and it was such a pretty, cozy setting. It really feels like a cute little hidden gem, and the staff was very kind and welcoming. Pro tip: if you cross the street and use the stairs to go up you can catch this sunset view ;) The only area for improvement would be the bathroom. I understand it's close to the beach, which can make upkeep challenging, but it was uncomfortable to use due to the dirty floor and lack of stocked supplies.

    Eddie V's is genuinely the place to celebrate anything special. This place is located at the top of…read moreLa Jolla Shores, so the view of the ocean is breathtaking! The service here is impeccable, and Max is genuinely one of the best! He made my graduation dinner so special, and I will definitely be coming back here again. Max started us off with complimentary champagne. It was really good! The raspberry added a nice touch of color. For food, I would definitely recommend the seafood when coming here. The sides, such as the crab fried rice, lobster mashed potatoes, and grilled asparagus are a must get! Super flavorful and filling. I recommend ordering an entree and having sides to share with everyone! I also got the lobster tacos which were amazing. Their tortillas are very special and Max will tell you why. I also got the crab stuffed shrimp which was very flavorful. I got the best of two worlds with this one dish. Max ended our night with their famous banana cake dessert (not sure what it's called) but it was sooo good and I will forever be craving it until I go back! This might be the best upscale restaurant in La Jolla (in my opinion)!

    Eddie V's! One word...AHMAZZZZING!!…read more First and foremost...you must make a reservation for a table upstairs! The view is phenomenal! The set up is great! They have heaters if it's chilly! We had a party of 14, and the staff did an amazing job of taking care of us! We never wanted for anything! Jeremiah was super attentive and amazing at remembering what everyone was drinking!, The food...chef's kiss! I wish I had taken more pictures of the food, but I was in the moment! For appetizers, we had shrimp, crab cakes, and oysters! I personally had the Goat Cheese Salad and the Sea Bass. The sides we shared were asparagus, Brussel Sprouts, Crab Fried Rice, Truffle Mac and Scalloped Potatoes! It was all fresh and delicious!! When in the San Diego/La Jolla area, you must go to Eddie V's!
