4 of us went in last night for a late dinner. We were on sleds and had just completed the "Prison Loop" trail. By the way conditions were not that bad on the loop and we had the great fortune to be the first to ride the freshly groomed "loop." 
So we headed to the "Pound" and were immediately seated, the band was setting up in the dining area. Our waiter was beyond excellent. He was fast and efficient. I got Shrimp Scampi, My wife got a Mahi, Mahi special, one person got Prime Rib and the other in our group got the Seafood Platter. All got salad. The food came out nice and quick and portions were huge. The Seafood Platter was enormous. My Scampi was awesome the shrimp snapped when you ate them, nice and fresh. The Prime Rib looked awesome and my buddy ate ALMOST all of his Seafood Platter. The only criticism came from my wife who said while the Mahi, Mahi was awesome she thought they overdid it with the Risotto as the fish was essentially swimming in it. This comes from a gal who isn't really keen on lots of sauces or things. I probably would have like it but I can understand her point. Perhaps the Risotto could have been on the side or something. Anyway all in all a very positive experience. Great atmosphere, great band, great service. I'm 2 for 2 and I will be back!
One of our party took a Twin Lobster platter home to his wife and I look forward to his report on what her experience was with that.
Bottom line give the Lobster Pound a try and see for yourself. |
I agree with your thoughts here and will add that I have been there twice and both times my meals were good and I don't recall feeling like the service was slow or anything. Actually both times we had the same waiter, he happens to be someone I know, and he was right there when he needed to be and the service was very good. I am also 2 for 2.
As for the twin lobster take out last night, after riding home on the sled and delivering it to my wife, they were still hot! She absolutely loved them and saved one to eat tonight. Honestly, I got home probably 20-25 minutes after receiving the meal and it was still hot (as she says, not warm but HOT), that is impressive, they packaged it really well for travel and I had one happy wife that's for sure
That night ride was awesonme, thanks for coming down and going out, that was my first night ride like that and I loved it!
