Chain restaurants are often content to use GMO product and can buy for less.
The rest of your numbers are close enough for government work. Of course government does not have to turn a profit.

Here are the wholesale NEFSC prices for lobster for the spot this week:

I seriously doubt that Canoe is paying the prices that you are (for cheese or lobster)...I am not surprised that Tavern 57 does, but you are playing in the high end market for the area. If Canoe wants to tell us what they pay...great. Otherwise we are all speculating and I think that they are high especially when T-Bones can offer 2x for $7 more. I have not found a definitive quality difference between the two restaurants and the dining experience is comparable.
Just my 2 cents
