    Best Broiled Lobster!

    Once again, a fantastic dining experience. I celebrate my Daughter's birthday at The Lobster Trap on Weston Road as a yearly tradition. We always get the Broiled Lobster. Jay, and staff, thank you again for a wonderful evening. Glenn Kerekes

    Seafood pasta in a rose sauce..delicious!

    Came here for a belated birthday dinner with a friend on a thursday evening at 6pm. The waitress greeted us immediately and let us choose our own table and was all round friendly and helpful the entire evening, frequently topping up our waters and even offering to help take pictures of us and our food. For dinner, we ordered the lobster trap platter which comes with 1 lb Lobster, 1/2 lb Alaska King Crab Legs, Shrimps, Mussels ($85) and also a seafood pasta with lobster, crab, and shrimp in a rose sauce ($35), both which were absolutely delicious! And to wash it all down we shared a 1L pitcher of red sangria, one of the best sangrias I've ever had (which they didn't skimp on the vodka) As for tips, if planning to dine here on a Sunday through Thursday, check Groupon first for a $20 discount on $50 spend and then add on an extra side order of Alaskan crab legs.

    This place was a real surprise! After reading some not so great reviews, I was a little anxious coming to this place. It turned out to be an enjoyable experience. I came here with a few friends using a groupon deal that allowed us to get $75 worth of food for less(groupon value $37). We ordered the oysters to share, lobster bisque and a 1 lb of lobster broiled that came with the option of a side, so I of course, ordered fries. The oysters were decent and a good enough size to share. The sauce that in came with paired nicely. The lobster bisque was amazing! I loved it. The flavours and thickness of the bisque was perfect. The lobster was also delicious, I preferred it broiled but they also had it steamed. Overall, I really enjoyed this dining experience and our server was very nice too! I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for some lobster.

    Wow. Is what I thought after finishing my meal. I have been eyeing this place after seeing pics on a friend's FB page. So I decided to pick up a Groupon and try it out. I am so glad I did. I got the small steamed mussels in wine sauce to start, and it was so tasty and a good sign of things to come. We then got 2x 2lbs lobsters - 1 broiled with fries and the other steamed with garden salad. Well let's just say they both were extremely good!!!!! Dipping the lobster in garlic butter was amazing. You could taste how fresh it was. The service was very friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back to probably try an even bigger .

    Well we went to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary to the lobster trap. We arrived a little before 530 and the chef actually came out to seat us as the wait staff weren't starting til 6. Let me tell you this was perfect as he took the time to mention what was good that night and recommendations he had. We decided to share a lobster bisque to start and my wife had some escargot. Sorry forgot to take a photo of the bisque but it was amazing. Very creamy and lots of tender lobster meat in it. My wife said the escargot was good but nothing special. The bisque is amazing. The chef mentioned they were out of filet and would substitute with the N.Y. sirloin instead if we ordered the surf and turf. He mentioned he could do the same on the lobster and king crab platter. So we got the 2lb lobster 2 12oz NY Sirloin and king crab and he was able to also substitute the white wine garlic muscles instead of the shrimp as my wife doesn't like shrimp. The prevention of the platter was very nice and everything was pre cracked to make the dinning experience easy. They do give large lobster crackers if you need to do more damage. The waitress came by right at 6 and asked how we enjoyed the appetizers. The service was great and the steamed lobster was cooked to perfection. The ample hot butter and garlic bread also made the dish enjoyable. I highly recommend this platter. To our surprise the chef game us a free dessert even though we were stuffed from the large meal. Yes we took home a full steak and some muscles. The cake was a white chocolate raspberry that was excellent. We will be back again soon. They made our 25th wedding anniversary dinner very memorable. Thanks again

    This is the size of the potato

    I was so disappointed with this experience. The lobsters are definitely not at weight. No I did not have a scale but I can tell you that they were NOT to weight. In fact, I would bet dollars to donuts that they were pre-frozen. We ordered whole steamed, 2 lb lobsters with tamale and roe. Lobster came halved and cleaned out. When we questioned it, staff argued that it was not cleaned. Then the "lobster connoisseur" came to our table to tell us that "every lobster is different. He then brought us bowls of previously frozen roe. To make good, I assume, he brought us an additional small lobster, uncleaned. After questioning, we were hard pressed to see our server again. As a side note, the baked potatoes were very small and the garlic bread was horrid. Just one last thing, before we were done, as in, forks and knives in hand, we were asked if we needed take out boxes and then we felt as if were rushed out. Upon exiting, we went to see the live lobsters in the tank there was so much crud in there we could not even see them.

    I really enjoyed my time here! Unlike the new seafood restaurants that are all about the sauce and messy eating, this is more of a sit down and stripped down meal (think of a simple steamed lobster + butter). When we arrived for our booking at 7pm, the table was not prepared yet (we had a group of 14 and the tables that were for us still had guests eating there). Initially I was very unhappy about this, but the waitress apologized and even provided our party with two complimentary bottles of beer, and a round of shots for everyone towards the end of the meal. About 10 minutes or so later, we were seated and promptly served. The lobster bisque was a big bowl of oh SOOO creaminess, had lots of lobster bits and lobster flavour; it was completely satisfying. I ordered a 1 lb broiled lobster -- it was delicious with the garlic butter (they add real garlic pieces into your melted butter for you!--so many yums), but I found the lobster to be a little overcooked and was tougher than I'd like. I also had a side of baked potato and they provided me with as much bacon, green onions, and sour cream as I wanted to add. Garlic bread was very good too, but compared to Lobster Royale (our previous go-to lobster restaurant that has unfortunately closed down now) it was not made with fresh garlic; just garlic butter spread on top. Overall it was an enjoyable meal, service was very generous despite not having our table prepared on time. I personally prefer Lobster Royale more, but since it has closed down for a couple years now, Lobster Trap will be our new go-to lobster place.

    Lobster bisque soup! Perfectly balanced. Best I've had!

    This is my favorite seafood place in town. I had stream lobster, king crab legs, mussles, and Shrimps. For apperitezer I had the lobster bisque (the best I've had) and half a dozen oysters. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and provided great suggestions. Next time I go I want to try a pasta dish and I will definitely be having the lobster bisque soup!

    I frequented the original/former location many, many times as I was growing up and as an adult. I took my boyfriend for his birthday to show him what a lobster experience is and this place was as good as ever! Maybe even better since the service was impeccable. Shout out to our server named Reza who was awesome. Don't hesitate to eat at this place because it's amazing. Also to all the bad reviews....y'all are whack this place is amazing.

    I had an amazing experience here with my sister. Jay was our chef and server. The server got into a car accident so Jay had to take over both roles. We honestly felt like VIP. Jay was so pleasant, had such a great attitude and was so kind to us. The food tasted so delicious. My sister ordered the 1/4 broiled lobster. I ordered the seafood pasta. My pasta was really good. Jay put a lot of effort and time into making the food and serving us. He made the experience such a great one. Thank you so much, Jay. We will be back again

    Coconut Butterfly Shrimp, they have got to be in my top 5 of favourite foods. These ones are well cooked, served hot and crispy.

    The food looks good, but it's overcooked and bland. They need a new chef with "30 years of experience". Terrible. Money wasted.

I had never heard of it, but apparently they're an established chain. The store is large, bright and cheery. The smell hooks you immediately. It's basically a gourmet doughnut holes shop, with plenty of fancy coffees and cold beverages to accompany. I wanna say, think Tim's crossed with Starbucks, with the emphasis on the Puffs. The puffs are made to order, with so many flavours to choose from. You can purchase half dozen, dozen, and up, and mix the flavours for each half dozen. We bought a combo box of Oreo and Nutella. You can watch the staff preparing the dough in the kitchen, and while they add your toppings at the counter. Idk if they somehow learned about it being a birthday visit, or this is usual, but we got a baker's dozen. I'll take that puff instead of a cherry on top for sure, because they were delicious. They are on the sweet side. Our drinks were also on the sweet side but delicious. The coffee is freshly ground on order and everything tasted fresh. We both opted for coffee based cold drinks but they have slushees, fruity and I think some tea options. The coffee was nice and strong without tasting bitter. The seating was a little odd, cute little stools in line with the honeycomb decor as opposed to chairs. The space felt really open, like your conversation can be heard all around. It was clean and very spacious. The staff on our visit were great. I would definitely return if it were closer to me, and I will totally check out other locations.

    Lumière Pâtisserie is a Thornhill gem--proof that you don't have to go downtown for great pastries…read more Yes, it's tucked into a suburban plaza off a parking lot, but inside it's light-filled, calm, and smells like heaven. The service is consistently warm, and the pastry case is hard to resist. We've tried many of their cakes, and the blackcurrant queen cake is hands down our favorite--tart, elegant, and just sweet enough. Their salted caramel croissant is beautifully laminated and filled with just the right amount of caramel. In fact, their croissants across the board are solid--flaky, tender, and buttery without being greasy. The sourdough bread is excellent, and the espresso drinks are reliably strong and well-crafted. It may look like Paris inside, but don't let that inspire your inner Francophile--the staff are lovely, but no one's following your French. Still, this is the kind of place that keeps regulars coming back. We're definitely among them.

The espresso here is excellent - well-bodied in flavour, medium roast (I think?), and pairs nicely with the sweetness of the cakes & pastries.

We shared the cream & crumb cheesecake (simple, classic, and incredibly creamy!) and tiramichoux (think a tiramisu profiterole - such a fun twist!). Looking forward to my next visit already :)

Never in my wildest imagination did I ever think that it would be served with frozen mango which is usually used for blending smoothies!! My partner did not want to return the barely edible bingsu.
