Sometimes you have to go to a restaurant twice in order to appreciate it. That’s what happened to me with the Viking Lobster Co. Nestled on Tonawanda Street, my first experience after it re-opened was not a great one. The service was extraordinarily slow and the food was not up to par. You should never have to cut lobster with a knife…but we did.

Yesterday, I was making plans with friends about where to go for dinner tonight. When one of my friends suggested Viking Lobster, I cringed. He knew I’d had a bad experience, but assured me that this time would be better. He happened to be there the night of said experience and has eaten there regularly ever since.

So, we went. We started with a round of appetizers. Lots of good food. Clams casino. Steamers. Ribs. Then we shared salad and soup. For dinner, we ordered a huge lobster and then a Viking Seafood Plate Special. Everything was great! The service was still a little on the slow side, but if you go into a place knowing what to expect, it makes things a lot easier.
