About the restaurant

The Lobster Club, a Japanese Brasserie by Major Food Group, is a fixture within Midtown Manhattan's iconic Seagram Building. Designed by architect Peter Marino in collaboration with MFG, the dynamic space reflects an outstanding – perhaps extravagant - interpretation of Japanese cuisine. Using classic techniques like tempura, gyoza, yakitori and robata, along with a focus on Teppanyaki and Sushi, The Lobster Club sources fish directly from Tokyo's Tsukiji market to ensure the highest level of quality. Everything on the menu is designed to be shared, encouraging a spirit of informal fun.

This is an immaculate restaurant and wine bar! The vibes are excellent for date night or girly dinners. It’s a super small restaurant but the great music and ambient lighting adds to the cozy atmosphere. Had to call to make a reservation for 6 people on a Saturday night and even though our table wasn’t ready, the servers Diego and Andy made sure we were taken care of and treated us to some wine! The pasta portions are big enough to split so 4 girls split 2 pastas + the burrata with prosciutto while the 2 GF girlies each got the octopus. Our pastas were DEVINE and so tasty (carbonara and bucatini amatriciana) but our friends said the grilled octopus was too chewy?? took like a million bites to get down apparently lol. Finished the night off strong with PANNACOTTA and even though I’m usually a tiramisu girl I would come back just for that.

Beautiful restaurant. Food is great and good for business meetings. Room is very festive with energy. I would prefer having the option to be seated before the entire party arrives. The bar area gets very crowded.
