Lobster Special - $34.00
Here's one I have had serveral times... also had it just last week...
The deal is offered on Mondays. It is 1 1/4 pound PEI Lobster, choice of soup or salad, coffee or tea, and includes ice cream for desert! The price is $34.00 (which is a good deal if you know about seafood). The lobster alone on other days is $34.95 for the same size 1 1/4 pounds.
The lobster is really good, it comes with drawn butter (tell them to put garlic butter in as well, it makes it outstanding).
The location is Pier 4 Storehouse Restaraunt on Harbourfront. The address is 245 Queens Quay West. South of skydome and CN Tower. Great patio as well if you are not in the mood for fine dining. In fact it has 2 patios, one is for the bar area which serves pizza, wrapes, burgers, wings etc. The other patio is on the south side of the building (right on the water), it serves burgers, wings, fish & chips, hot dogs etc.

wow..34 dollars..so really if it is 34 dollars on a regular day.. you are only getting a free soup/salad, side, and ice cream...
not too hot if you ask me
There IS a place at metro sqaure (bayview/hwy 7)..I'm not sure of the name..but it definately exists...its an all you can eat place that has unlimted steak, chicken, all sorts of meat, and trimming for 20 dollars.
if you add 5 dollars more you get unlimited seafood as well and yes that is including lobster..its probably no 34 dollar lobster but quantity and price over quality any day... (that goes for everything except for toilet paper)
if ANYONE can give more insight on this feel free to add. name of restaurant anyone?

Thanks.. great deal. Hmm.. maybe I shouldn't check my cholesterol for a month after this.
btw. QUALITY is more important to me. Once you get to a certain age you just can't eat as much (and buffet's are a waste of money) and had everything and tried everything.. Quality becomes oh so important.
When you're young you can down 5 X 12 OZ steaks.. I rather enjoy a nice filet mignon with a quality glass of Shiraz And maybe a creme brulee afterwards.

Heh heh, that's true for sure! I'd prefer a smaller cut of top quality steak or a really tasty dish than a whole bunch of mediocre tasting food. Buffets are good if you're under 25 and can still eat like a champ.

Why would you want to eat tons of low quality food as opposed to a smaller portion of high quality food. If that's the case why not just eat 10 big macs for $1.79 each? You'll save over $17.
QUALITY should be the most important over price and quantity - this goes for EVERYTHING including toilet paper.

So is it $34 or $34.95? The post is not consistent. Sorry but hardly a "hot deal" on any day of the week.

$34 is pretty good, was at lobster royale today and it was $37 for the 1 1/4 lb lobster which includes a soup, a salad, and a side...not sure which one is better though...

agreed with those who said it looks like an ad
for those who want good lobster in the GTA, go check out Lobster Royale on Yonge street, just before Clark (north of Steeles). It's a tiny store on the east side of Yonge, in the same plaza as The Friendly Greek (or Mr. Greek).
I think it's also around 34 bucks, and you get a whole lobster (probably also 1 1/4 pound, but I think they offer different sizes), along with soup, salad, side, and I think dessert.
The lobster is realllly good, and the soup (Lobster Bisque) is just...omg...I am drooling just thinking about it
But definitely a place to check out if you like lobster and have the cash

are you talking about 419...?its at commerce gate, metro square is at warden/steeles and commerce gate is more around leslie/hwy7 rather than bayview/hwy 7, the food there isn't that great so can't really compare an all you can eat restaurant to a $34 lobster...but the hilton hotel has a buffet saturday night which has cold lobsters and crab legs which is pretty good...
