Join GayCities, the fun way to discover the world

Without a price (monthly number) my answer would be frustrating for both of us. Scott's answer is spot-on, but as I said..."it seems I am moving west..." is actually confusing. A few more facts and you'll get great answers in what is the best of the west!

I've been day tripping to P-Town since I could drive (before picture licenses in my state) and have seen the it morph from artists and gays to the early years when gays flocked in and artists flew away. I assume the question means boiled lobster, not a lobster dish. So I can not dis The Lobster Pot- an institution that is best visited either well before summer season (as the restaurant opens in April, they have the precious hard shell lobsters, before they shed their skin) or just after labor day, when lobster season (a misnomer) is at its peak. Going during summer will have you bouncing off the stomaches of fleshy tourists as you wait for a table, for me that is insufferable. Beyond that are so many fantastic restaurants, which have lobster on the menu- and there I'd be more interested in other delectables. Lobster is best while living happy among its peers but then snatched from the tank and boiled alive, not shipped in a container box clinging to life (they already may be dead). The stress hormones released during this misadventure alter its succulence, and therefore unacceptable. While at the Pot, see that the lobster chosen for you curls its tail up quickly- the Lobster Pot would never serve one that has been tank bound for three weeks or more- a lobster at this point is also unacceptable and the tail may not even curl. The LP gets very good to outstanding reviews; the hottest restaurant in P-Town currently I'm sure does too, but for very different reasons.
