The Lobster Co., just across Fourth Avenue from the Lyceum Theatre in the Gaslamp Quarter, takes diners into a whimsical undersea world that could well be an elaborate stage set. Colorful tropical fish figures dangle from the high ceiling, a mural of Atlantis dominates one wall and graceful metal seaweed sculptures provide artistic accents in the midst of the enveloping submarine environment. Fresh Maine and Australian lobsters, which are far sweeter and tastier than the frozen fare dished out in most San Diego restaurants, are steamed and served with drawn butter in classic East Coast seafood restaurant style. The fish and seafood are impeccably fresh and some of the preparations, such as Pacific halibut topped with delicate, grape-studded sauce Veronique, are excellent. Lake Superior whitefish sauteed in butter.
Entrees come with fresh vegetables.
