"Best Lobster Rolls Outside of Maine: GT Fish & Oyster - Executive Chef/Partner Giuseppe Tentori ensures that every bite is filled with the sweet, sea-kissed flavor of Maine lobster by piling nearly a pound of freshly flown-in meat into every sandwich."

"GT Fish & Oyster's lobster roll has generous portions of perfectly cooked lobster on an amazing bun. The roll is toasted and topped with fried onions. It's simply the best."

Merlin Verrier

"Sometimes simplicity is better. Why ruin lobster with too much extra BS? Keep it plain and simple by letting the ingredients shine. Chef Giuseppe uses this restraint perfectly with his version of Eastern seaboard's classic lobster roll."

Mike Sula

"A modestly sized lobster roll, which abounds with sweet chunks of shellfish in a buttery roll next to buttermilk-battered frazzled onion, nested like a disassembled Awesome Blossom."

Nick Kindelsperger

"GT Fish & Oyster's lobster roll features cool hunks of sweet lobster meat dressed ever-so-lightly with a house-made mayonnaise. They are then nestled in a Labriola roll that has been buttered and grilled. What's most surprising is that while it is artfully presented, the succulent lobster meat is still the first thing you taste."

Nicole Bruce

"Chef Giuseppe Tentori's notable lobster roll has perfected the crucial meat-to-bun ratio. His version starts with a crispy, buttery house-made brioche dough roll, which is stuffed full of cool, meaty lobster chunks, coated ever-so-lightly in house-prepared mayo with a touch of Dijon mustard and ample dill, a spritz of lemon, and celery for crunch. Fried onion strings and seasonal pickled veggies round out the seafaring snack."

Jeffy Mai

"Giuseppe Tentori has proven himself to be a master of many trades and the lobster roll is certainly one of them. At his popular River North seafood restaurant, the market-priced sandwich features a perfect meat-to-bun ratio and a satisfying mix of mayo, celery, fried onions, and pickled veggies."
