2nd time eating here and went for the twin lobster tails, blackened. I guess they were out of season as the 2 tails were $59...a bit steep but the $50 groupon took a nice $25 off. I think blackened is the way to get lobster now as this was probably the best lobster I can remember having in a long while. The tails were cooked perfectly and the blackened pepper flavor hit the spot.\n\nI was in a toss up over giving 3 or 4 stars because there were a few low points to the meal despite the lobster being top notch...\n\n-The truffle mac and cheese lacked any kind of truffle flavor whatsoever, not even a hint.\n\n-The side of vegetables were way overcooked\n\n-The bread in the basket was so hard I clanked it on my dinner plate and it was like a glass hitting glass sound. \n\n-The butter that went with the bread had an odd texture where I doubt it would soften up if it were left out an hour as though it had been dunked in liquid nitrogen. I think they were preformed into little rose pats and then thrown in the freezer (last month).\n\n-It was prime dinner time and I only counted 3 other tables dining in this large room which meant you could hear other people's conversation.\n\n-This last one really gets me. I understand if gratuity is added to parties of 6 or more. But if it's just 1 or 2 people dining, I'm not sure why gratuity of 18% needs to be added. I was actually going to tip 20% on the bill prior to the discount because the service was good and the lobster was delicious (so their insurance against me being a cheapskate actually saved me $1.00)...but I just find it insulting that the waitress needs to take out an insurance policy on her tip because I came in using a coupon...oh this guy might be cheap, I better hit the insurance button. I probably would have given 4 stars if not for this.\n\nThe first time I came here was about a year ago and I had the Jambalaya and shrimp E' Touffe. Both were excellent. Aside from the having 3 very good main entrees here in 2 visits, other things about this place could use a step up.
