A truly great Experience.Sam Kekovich, Australian Sports Commentator & Lamb Ambassador
I’ve been coming here many, many years, it’s an institution. It’s quite an anomaly really. It’s situated in an area that you wouldn’t think you’d have a seafood restaurant in it. But it is magnetic. People come down here and it’s just the best seafood in the business.Sam Newman, Australian TV Personality
The Lobster Cave is an iconic seafood restaurant that exceeds my expectations on every level. Whether I’m having people over I dine in, the food and service never disappoints. The Ferg certainly is generous when it comes to portions. A few of my favourites are Moreton Bay bugs, QLD King prawns, and of course their lobster which has made them a household name. My recommendation is to dine in and experience it for yourself.Brendon Fevola “Fev” Morning Radio Host at Fox Fm & Former AFL Player.
