I think that you can probably already see in this pic that the lobster is WAY overcooked.  Why, why, why!?  This was another sad plate at The Lobster House.  I just checked on Yelp and this place only has 2 stars.  I should have checked before we dined here!  The sides were throw-away items that did nothing to save the butchered lobster tail.

Cajon shrimp – The Lobster House

Omg!  These shrimp were SO overcooked!  This plate made me more than a little sad.  Everything on it was poorly cooked and/or drenched in butter to try and cover up the bad quality of the ingredients.  I couldn’t taste much of the cajun flavor on the shrimp since the overcooked taste overpowered everything.  Sadly, this was a meal I can’t take back.  😦

Red wines – The Lobster House

Hahn Estate pinot noir The Lobster House

Hahn Estate, pinot noir, Monterey. $8

Main Street cabernet sauvignon The Lobster House

Main Street, cabernet sauvignon, California. $7
The Lobster House, Palm Springs

In keeping up with the mediocre food at The Lobster House, they also serve mediocre wine.  I’m still kicking myself that we settled for this place after our original choice was booked.

Bread and butter The Lobster House

Dinner roll with butter.  It’s sad when the best part of you meal is the complimentary bread and butter, but that was truly the case at this restaurant.
