    Connecticut Roll
    Brandon G.

    This spot has been on my list. When u found out they were replacing The Stonehouse in Lewiston, I knew I had to finally check it out. We got to eat out on the patio by the street which my son loved people watching and seeing all the cars go by. Our server Leah was fantastic and so nice. Incredible service and no wait for a table. We ordered a couple of lobster rolls and got my son a kids chicken finger meal. The lobster roll was amazing. I'm going back for another one so soon. The lobster was delicious and the roll itself was so soft and buttery. It also came with Old Bay seasoned chips which were fantastic. Needless to say, we loved our lunch here and we will definitely be back for more. With all the concerts in Artpark, this might be our new stop beforehand.

    4 of us went as first timers Wednesday night. The food gets a 9 out of 10. The service through was struggling. After seeing the hostess, she said it would be a little wait or she could give us a table up near the sidewalk. We didn't care. We took the sidewalk table. Our waitress was training someone new. Then our waitress disappeared. I think every interaction we had with someone was with a different employee. I think because we were the furthest table in the sidewalk area that we were forgotten about. One one of us had silverware and a napkin. We never were asked about drink refills. We didn't see anyone during our meal to check in and see how it was or for us to ask for refills or napkins. When the food was delivered, our loaded lobster tots were missing. We let the employee know. 10 or so minutes later, someone else brought them out, set them on the table next to us, and even though those people said they weren't those, and we said they were ours, the employee insisted that table could have them for free. It was easily another 15 minutes before we got ours, and by then our other food was gone and we were ready to go home. When we were able to let another server know we needed silverware, a different employee appeared down the sidewalk with silverware, and then turned around and never brought it down to us. We were at the restaurant for two hours which seems excessive for lobster rolls and tots.... But the food.... The food was elite. Best lobster I've ever had. Our group had a few lobster roll flights, a few lobster BLTs, street corn, pineapple slaw, and the loaded lobster tots. I really cannot say enough about how delicious everything was. We all loved the lobster rolls. They all were equally delicious. The lobster was so fresh. They were full of meat. They left nothing to be desired, except another one. The lobster BLT was equally great. Plenty of lobster on it and the whole sandwich was fresh, great toast, other great ingredients. The pineapple slaw was delicious coleslaw in general, but I couldn't really taste the pineapple. We all loved the street corn. The lobster tots didn't get an entirely fair review from us because they came out so late after our meal, but the tots were cooked to perfection. We actually all voted that even though the cheese was delicious, there was a bit too much, and the lobster was so lost under the cheese. We thought it would have been better with the lobster on top. Even though we had some service issues, the food was top notch. The location is great. The main street in Lewiston is a must. And we will definitely be back. It was a great night to sit outside and enjoy the company of good friends and great food, and the vibe at this new location delivered.

    We've been to the original, but I wanted to try this location when I was in Lewiston for a concert. Same great menu and service. Larger location with plenty of seating and a bar. I love the California roll, but this time I tried the lobster tots. Plenty of lobster. Wish there was a bit less cheese sauce and aioli. It tastes good. It's just a bit too rich for my preference. The tots were still crispy. If there's ever an unseasonably cool day, I'd love to try the grilled cheese and lobster bisque. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. I prefer the view in Olcott, especially since you can walk closer to the water to enjoy your food, but there's something to be said for shade and a bar.

    New England lobster roll (cold lobster; so tasty)
    Suzanne S.

    Went for the second time last night. I love the set up of the restaurant with the open air atmosphere. On a warm breezy night it's perfect. Food has been good every time, portions are a little small but lobster is expensive and they don't skimp on how much they pack in the roll. They have a few choices of what kind of lobster roll you want so there is variety. Our waitress was Racheal and she was one of the best waitresses ever. Very friendly and personable and made it even a more pleasant experience.

    Love that this location is an actual restaurant with indoor and outdoor door seating. The place is airy and well lit, which gives the overall appeal of a coastal restaurant. The staff were extremely nice and helpful. I ordered the Lobster Roll flight, which came with 3 different rolls. All were delicious!! The Olcott Fire was a bit spicy for me (as it should have been), but still amazing. I will definitely return!

    We were greeted quickly and were brought to our table shortly afterwards. Our server, Savannah, was very friendly and accommodating- even turned down the music when requested! Our food came out promptly and was delicious! We went early so crowds were not an issue. Highly recommend!

    Lobster tots
    Katlyn H.

    Our first time at Olcott Lobster and we loved it! We waited until the crowd died down to stop by, around 7:30 pm. The hostess said it would still be about a 40 minute wait but we were able to snag bar seats right away. Both bartenders very friendly and attentive! I ordered the lobster roll flight and subbed out the spicy one for the surf and turf for a small up-charge, so it then consisted of Connecticut style with warm butter, Maine style with lemon aioli and surf and turf which was Connecticut style with filet on top. We also got the lobster tots! Having been to Maine many times and the opportunity to try truly authentic and incredible lobster rolls.... Olcott is holding their own! The rolls were delicious. Packed with lobster meat, but I think the most impressive part was the perfectly toasted and buttered roll, which truly makes all the difference. I could have done without the surf and turf, (just too much going on) but the other two are very solid classics. Overall a great casual place to get a very authentic and delicious lobster roll and not have to drive several states over to find it! We will be back for sure!

    Buttered corn
    Bonnie T.

    I went to the Olcott store last year, and liked it. Family was visiting, I decided to try the new Lewiston location. The wait for a table was 40 minutes but there were empty tables. We grabbed the bar seats while we were waiting and were able to order drinks and food. By the time we finished, our name was called for the table. We got 2 flights, 2 drinks, buttered corn and pineapple slaw. All were tasty. The lobster rolls had good amounts of lobster meat. If you look at the price they may seem expensive, but those are solid lobster meat. They have indoor and outdoor seatings, sitting at the bar was fun. Parking can be street side or in the plaza parking lot next door.

    Quick service and off the chain food. The lobster tots and Surf and Turf was amazing! And our waitress Leah was amazing and sweet.

    Lobster roll flight
    Robert H.

    Went there on Saturday night got there about 630. there was about a 20 minute to a half hour wait. The weight was worth it though lobster rolls were amazing and will definitely go back. The flight gives you three different lobster rolls so it's a way to try a different variety. Service is warm and friendly.

    Connecticut Roll and potato salad
    Jenna R.

    We had a great lunch here! My husband said it was the best thing he's eaten in a while. I got the Connecticut roll with a side of potato salad. The roll was just the standard lobster roll with butter. The rolls came with homemade chips. The food was delicious! Everything tasted very fresh. Our waitress Michelle was amazing. She was so sweet with our 4 month old son and kept talking to him. We love going out and sitting on a patio, and this was a nice one. We will definitely be back to get more rolls!

    Loaded "lobstah" tots. Very cheesy but had a nice hint of lemon to balance it out.
    Lauren J.

    The Lobster rolls were great! They were average sized and they did not skimp on the lobster. I think they were priced fairly as well (about $24-$25). We also ordered the loaded tater tots and they were pretty tasty. Service was great. It was nice sitting outside, and we were happy to get a table out of the sun (some were in the sun).

    Overcrowded. Overpriced. Beautiful view of a parking lot that you can't park in. Lol. If they don't get good bands they won't last a year.

I lived in Dunkirk for several years, but the changes that they have made to the pier and boardwalk are really unbelievable !!!! Shops & restaurants and this gem!! Let me be very clear in saying that there are maybe three tables inside; this is definitely a grab and go restaurant . However there is a huge patio with many many tables even if they are full, which is doubtful, you could certainly grab a spot on the boardwalk nearby . We happened to have a beautiful night and we have an event to go to at SUNY Fredonia so a friend recommended this place . We waited about 15 minutes to place our order. After ordering we enjoyed our drinks out on the patio while we waited for our food. I opted for an alcoholic beverage while my son had a virgin piña colada. Our number was called maybe 15 minutes later and we were served absolute deliciousness. My son ordered the California, which was a delicious crispy fish sandwich while I opted for an Asian chicken wrap. Our food was absolutely delicious. Served just right. The food temperature was perfect and the portions were ample . The service was wonderful. If I ever come upon a beautiful night again in Dunkirk, I will definitely be visiting this place !!!!

I was most impressed by Connecticut roll and the Fire roll, the New England wasnt bad just didnt hit as hard as that buttery or spicy taste. The kids tenders and tots, the little yelper crushed those and left super happy. The only meh thing for me was the clam chowder, I love a thick chowder and the misses loved this one because it wasn't. We agreed to disagree on this. But absolutely great experience overall and we are looking forward to visiting the new Lewiston spot next.

    Perfect Sunset Vibes at the Wilson Boathouse…read more We grabbed a table outside at sunset and couldn't have timed it better--golden hour over the water, a soft breeze, and the sounds of nostalgic '70s rock in the background. It was the kind of evening that makes you want to linger. The beef on weck was a classic done right--tender, flavorful, and true to its New York roots. We finished with a slice of key lime pie that hit all the right notes: bright, creamy, and not too sweet. Service was fast and friendly, and everything arrived hot and fresh. Simple, satisfying, and just the kind of place we'll be coming back to!

    Poor information, to start. We called for information several days in advance, We were told…read morerestaurant closes at 8; not true, the kitchen closes at 8. We would have come later, had we been given accurate info. Also, we were told the music ends on Sunday hours earlier than on other nites, so we booked for sunday, so we could actually talk over dinner. That info was also incorrect; music ended later than we were told, so we ended up eating inside even tho our desire/plan was to eat outside. When we made our reservation online, we requested an outside table; the e/m confirmation stated inside. We called and were told all reservations are for inside b/c outside is first come, first served. Why weren't we told that in our initial phone call? Why doesn't the website state that? Jennifer, our waitress, was attentive, friendly, helpful. Except, once we had decided what we would like to order then we were told everything they were out of, which, unfortunately, included what we desired for entrees. Companion's fish fry was large and good. My grain bowl, however, was skimpy, the vegetable medley consisted of a few green peas, and the shrimp was overcooked/tough to chew or cut. the Korean BBQ sauce just tasted like regular bottled bbq sauce. The wine list was short, but the cabernet sauvignon was very good. There were 2 desserts offered; we chose the chocolate cannoli cake, which was excellent! Overall, disappointing and not on our list of places to return to.
