Profile
This venue is closed.
Susan Austin describes herself as a 30-minute chef and a lifelong foodie who's worked in importing, manufacturing, marketing, and fashion. In October 2006, she chucked all that to follow her culinary bliss at Urban Lobster, the twelve-seat East Village clam shack she's opened with her husband, Rony Brovda. Their menu, which Austin intends to sell mostly for takeout and delivery (via a tricked-out Scion xB), covers such familiar turf—make that surf—as chowders and bisques, lobster bakes, and peel-and-eat shrimp. You might expect an old salt to be at the helm of such a staunchly traditional operation, but only the seafood comes from Maine and Canada. Austin's from the Five Towns.
ExtraThe owners say there is no such thing as market price; all menu prices are set.

Recently ordered take out....Food arrived cold even though it was wrapped in aluminum foil. Scallops were strangely half raw, stuffed mushrooms were small and crab tasted days old. BF had shrimp kebab, very small shrimp...not enough. Surprisingly, the only ok item was fried clam strips. Later that night, had stomach cramps and a touch of food poisoning...thank god they closed.
