In brief: Not really sure how this London based mini-chain, Burger & Lobster, is going to do here in the States, but they certainly have enough space to house lots of happy hour type festivities. 
You would think that a three item, verbal menu, would incite no confusion. You choose between (1) burger, (2) lobster roll or (3) lobster. Each option is $20 and comes with the same salad and fries. That did not stop the girls next to us from having a long rambling conversation with the waiter about what to order and whether or not they could change this to that. We had the lobster rolls. The bread is buttered, which we like, but denser than feels appropriate for the lightness of a lobster roll. The fries are good, but like the space, a little on the boring side. The entire experience could benefit from a couple more years of patina and dirt.
