Generally speaking, I rarely go to the strip for food. I have to be on the strip already to decide to grab a bite to eat, and that's strictly due to convenience. Recently I had family in town and we took a stroll to the Miracle Mile at the Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino. Since trying Pink's at the Mile, I've been wanting to try out Lobster Me.
This place def has an East Coast Maine feel to it, only serving up dishes involving the highly prized lobster. There's something about eating lobster, even in a roll that feels satisfying and decadent. So I went with just that, trying out their signature lobster roll.
This was actually a pleasant surprise. I'm not familiar with the specific region and "style," of lobster rolls out there (probably because I'm a West Coast Kid,) but Maine style has to be my new favorite. For $17, this isn't a cheap eat, and this isn't even the $25 larger offering, this is the smaller large.....?(you'll have to see the menu to understand.) The roll itself is a toasted, basted with warm melted butter on the inside and was a perfect hold for the lobster meat. The lobster itself was great, you get big chunks in the roll and over top they lay 3 claws perfectly. The lobster meat tasted as expected, seemed fresh enough, had a great chew to them and wasn't overly fishy. What sets Lobster Me apart is how the prepare the lobster. I'm used to the mayo, dill and cucumber mix, Lobster Me's Maine style is tossed in a little butter and dill which is much better to let the great lobster flavor dominate. Not to mention a perfect flavor profile.
I'll definitely be choosing this place again if i find myself here, maybe even opting for their crazier offerings. This includes a lobsicle(fried lobster on a stick,) and lobster ice cream. Definitely interesting, just not for me on this particular day.
