    This is a fabulous small restaurant. The staff are amazing,as is the food . It can be expensive but they do all sorts of mid week deals . We had the all night early bird on a Thursday which had great choice . Tuna poke delicious! Also wagu burger. I wouldn’t usually go for a burger there as so many other lovely things (pasta/fish/mussels)but it was lovely . They were also doing house wine by the glass for €6.50 on a Thursday. Overall lovely relaxed night with attentive friendly staff . Great place for a treat or mid week with offers .

    As per usual, every bite was delicious and we didn't leave a morsel on our plates. The service from Veronika was second to none. Perfect for a no fuss, excellent dining experience. Highly recommend Lobstar!

    Relaxing atmosphere, consistently great food, especially fresh fish. Tuna poke as a starter with a hint of lime and chili and lobster roll to follow are an excellent combination, enjoyed with a fine Hungarian wine. Delicious dishes on the menu and if adventurous go for the lobster or fish of the day.

    Lobstar is fantastic for a celebration night. It's not cheap, but the lobster tail is to die for. And the manager and staff are amazing.

    Best restaurant in Monkstown... and there is some fierce competition from Brasserie 8A and Bresson.
