BLT Fish

Overall BLT Fish is a quality experience with a beautiful top floor dining room. I do have to note that I spent my first visit at the downstairs bar. The service there was really dissapointing, but even more was the Lobster Roll. This was bordering on embarassing in all aspects including portion, flavor and choice of bread. I realize this is not the restaurnat's focus, but even so, if you decide to offer it on the menu, it must be as good as all other selections. With local competition from such gems like Pearl and Mary's I would suggest just leaving it off.

Pear Oyster Bar

Pearl Oyster Bar is one of the most consistent restaurants delivering perfect Lobster Rolls via attentive service. The lobster meat is tender and pilled high and dressing has great flavor but still lets the lobster shine. The bun is soft and buttery with such beautiful texture. Even the match stick fries are well seasoned and crip. I personally believe sitting at the bar having a lobster roll and a Guiness at Pearl is quite possibly as close to perfection one will ever get for lunch. I do recommend spending your time sitting at the bar. The people who populate the bar seating are true locals that know their food. This is a real New Yorkers paradise.

Mermaid Inn

The Mermaid Inn never impressed me through their cuisine. I will say that it is one of my favorite places to have a drink. They also deserve credit for being the first (to my knowledge) restaurant to serve Hitachino White Ale, a wonderful white that is spiced with Corriander and goes well with an orange slice. If you like wheat beers, this is a nice alternative.
