LURE THIS.

Jean's lobster roll tram...all aboarddddddddd...

Tickets out please, and if you were out celebrating St. Patrick's Day, then you were officially not invited to Lure Fishbar with me because I hate St. Patrick's Day. And was unfortunate enough to FORGET the holiday existed and ACCIDENTALLY wear a GREEN (not to mention PLAID) dress on the streets today.

Lure Fishbar wins my award for weirdest restaurant. It's an oyster bar, sushi restaurant, steak house, southern calabash, and seafood shack on the beach, all mixed together with a dash of homey comfort and childhood memories. The menu is absurdly variegated, but each eclectic component seems to make sense and you definitely want to try a bit of everything.


Lure House Roll - Shrimp tempura topped with spicy tuna. Usually I like to kid myself and pretend that I am beyond specialty rolls (especially the ones with too many sauces drizzled all over it). But this one was actually quite good! If I remember correctly, it had a citrus/lime taste to it...good flavors.


Yummy bowl of Macaroni & Cheese for the table!!!! This is what I'm talkin' about - who puts mac and cheese on the same menu as sushi??? Whatevs. I'm down. Delish, crusty, just perfectly torched, cheese and carb heaven.


The center fold of the evening: my lobster roll. You get a satisfying amount of lobster, but there was something missing with this roll. It was almost like..too...cold? What I love about the roll from Ed's Lobster Bar is that the bun is warm, which makes the lobster almost melt in your mouth with the rest of the buttery sandwich. While the lobster salad tasted fine (I would have liked some lemon flavor in it), it just wasn't as comforting as other lobster rolls I have had.


Desserts were a surprise and a delight. Here is our assortment of ice cream sandwiches!!! Really takes me back to the day of Chipwiches. A variety of flavors - peanut butter cookies with chocolate icecream, chocolate chip cookies with vanilla ice cream and Cocoa Krispie sprinkles, vanilla wafer with strawberry icecream drizzled in chocolate, and an oatmeal raisin cookie combination. So good!!!


An embarassingly blurry picture of our other dessert - a warm molten chocolate cake with salty caramel ice cream, popcorn brittle, and chocolate panna cotta. My cholesterol level was a little overwhelmed with the sodium intake (that salty caramel ice cream was like...really salty!!!) but I can't really complain about chocolate cake dripping with more chocolate. And the only thing better then warm cake is when it's served with ice cream.

Lure Fishbar - you're weird but I like you.
