The Lobster Trap

Had a wonderful dinner at this restaurant! There was a talented acoustic guitar player playing great music and the service was impeccable! We ordered the mussel and clam appetizer and it was awesome. The sauce was a garlicky flavor- and we sopped it up with bread when the shells were empty. We shared a lobster bisque- which was good (but not amazing). My husband ordered the shrimp and grits and is still talking about it two days later! I had the lobster and it was amazing. Overall- it was a fantastic place to eat for New Year’s Eve! Glad we gave it a shot while we were in town!

This is a MUST GO TO spot when visiting Asheville!! We were greeted and seated by a very nice hostess. There was live music playing and the atmosphere was just perfect. Maggie our server was so attentive, funny, and kind. She helped us pick a bottle of wine and answered all our questions about the menu. Maggie checked on us, made sure we had everything we needed, and honestly made our dining experience a GREAT ONE! Now, the food was absolutely amazing! My husband and I started off with oysters and then we each had our own lobster plate. We were extremely happy with how the food tasted, especially my husbands steak. It’s hard to find a place that knows how to properly cook a steak. Hands down one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time.

We were able to sit at the oyster bar with no wait on a Saturday night for three people. It was a really cool experience watching them prepare the oysters and plates. We got the steamed oysters red snapper and shrimp and grits and mussels. It was absolutely divine. The food tastes very fresh and well prepare. It is definitely a refined place but the prices match what you get in your plate. I recommend!

If you visit Ashville, NC you must go to this place! They have the best shrimp and grits I have ever had!! Their seafood is really fresh and amazing. The service is beyond excellent and people are very friendly and nice.

This place has absolutely incredible food!!! If you don't mind paying a little extra for fresh food, I 100% recommend this place! Their servers are very nice and make great recommendations. Place is very clean and a nice looking restuarant. The surf and turf is my absolute favorite. My favorite app was the stuffed mushrooms, I'd get 3 orders if I could! Amazing keylime pie 😍 Definitely recommend! ❤️
