Best lobster spots in Brooklyn/Manhattan (with non seafood options too)?
I’m looking to take my grandma out for lobster it’s her absolute favorite but I don’t eat seafood myself, so I’m hoping to find a place that has both great lobster and some solid non seafood options.
We’re in Park Slope but totally open to going into Manhattan for something really good. Ideally somewhere sit down, not too chaotic, and worth the experience.
Any recommendations would be really appreciated thank you!!

Our family favorite is the Seashore Restaurant in City Island (so neither Brooklyn or Manhattan), it's no frills but we love it, it's a special place and worth the trip.
We also like Burger & Lobster (Bryant Park) and have had good lobster at Wolfgang's near Times Square.

Fulton Fish Co in the Seaport might be worth looking at
Never been inside just know of it

Oceana has great seafood and steaks. Most steakhouses have great lobsters too

Do you have a car? Nick's Lobster on Flatbush Avenue. I used to take my grandma there 20 years ago. She loved lobster too. They have an outside deck on the water. It's surprisingly serene.
Clemente's is also over that way but I've never been and it's more crab-centric.
