Lombardi's Seafood

Decent prices, high quality, with dine-in, take-out or fresh & frozen take away options. I love that they offer not just deep fried but also grilled or blackened for most menu items. I also love that they offer a choice of sides instead of just french fries but both are available for (probably) most people that desire the traditional deep fried & french fries. The inside dining area is in the same large room as the retail store which has the typical fish market smells. Especially in warmer weather, this may be very undesirable for many. They do however, have a outside patio, that is right on West Fairbanks Ave which has considerable traffic noise. But, the traffic noise is a better choice than the smell inside when eating and there is a decent green hedge to separate the patio area. With all the retail options, it was very difficult to NOT buy something to take home. The key lime pie looked simply wonderful and both slices and while pies were readily available to pickup and take home. The seafood soups, 3 choices the day we were there, looked good, smelled great and were simply fabulous, again readily available to take home hot or cold. Beer and wine were available and ordering was at a counter with table service. Our food service was considerably slower than others around us. I suspect the blackened option for the entree was the cause of this delay which wasn't unreasonably long, but significantly longer than several other groups nearby. Parking is fairly limited, but adequate when we were there. It may be more challenging to find parking when the fish market or cafe is a lot busier. This is definitely going to be a planned stop whenever we're in the area.

We are very disappointed this time with Lumbardy’s bought Chesapeake oysters and in 24 hours half of them are open. Usually Lombardi’s is top-of-the-line hopefully when we call them they will refund or give us know oysters. They credited us for the loss of each oyster for store credit. Thanks

Great price and being able to in or take out its fresh I picked live main lobster
