Overview

About This Establishment

On the water, LDI Lobster Dock & Dine serves a casual, seaside feast. The Lobster Roll packs a quarter-pound of claw, tail, and knuckle, folded with a hint of mayo in a grilled brioche and a warm butter drizzle. The Lobster BLT stacks thick bacon with lobster salad on brioche, brightened by lemon aioli. Clam Chowder is gluten-free and creamy, a solid bowl when the sun bucks the breeze.
