julia t: Great seafood selection and good for a snack - fresh oysters, solid lobster roll. Good caviar selection. Sushi is nondescript - not the draw.
Mischa: Pro: the lobster in the lobster roll is fresh & you can tell. Con: the place is always packed, eating comfortable won't be an option. You can get it in a lunch box that's also good!
David Zhang: Expensive but delicious. Lobster rolls are great and so are the oysters. Avoid the madhouse of Chelsea Market during lunch though.

Serious Eats: The oyster and leek soup is fantastic, as are their lobster rolls, made with just the right amount of mayo on a buttery side-split bun.
Katie Congleton: Oysters, pistols on horseback & Connecticut style lobster roll
Colin Lee: Excellent shrimp and mushroom toast and lobster roll. Also open later than rest of Chelsea market which is nice!

Chad: If you're visiting Chelsea Market & like seafood, you HAVE to stop at Lobster Place and grab a Lobster Roll, Crab Club, fresh made sushi. Better than a lot of seafood restaurants in the city.
@JaumePrimero: Lobster rolls, Amy's Bread, the occasional pop-up sample sale, fresh produce, a tea salon, this place has it all!
Suz: Lobster roll is really good. Has a ton of lobster in it.

Cortney Kirk: Lobster rolls, wok noodles, boneless spare ribs, general tso dumplings, crying chocolate.......no matter what you get, it's amazing!!!
Michael Fox-Rabinovitz: Peking duck, lobster rolls, great cocktails... Pretty much can't go wrong here. Loved the space as well, the candles add a great ambiance.
Daniel Tewfik: Don't be fooled, this is an entirely different kind of Lobster Roll. Not what you find on the Cape.

James J: I really enjoyed the homemade poptart they had for brunch.
The New Yorker: The patty melt is “refined but not annoyingly so, ... while also insuring the correct balance of crunch (toasted rye) and ooze (Swiss cheese and caramelized onions).” Read more.
Wilson Zhou: Amanda Freitag combines the familiar flavors of poached peaches, raspberries, candied almonds, and vanilla ice cream in her newest dessert, Peach Melba. She's also offering a Peach Fuzz cocktail.
