While the Pearl District is known for its outstanding eateries it can also be known for its outstanding prices. The hairy Lobster was a pleasant surprise in that the food was outstanding but the prices were reasonable and fair. I really love small plate sharing experiences and that is part of what the Hairy Lobster is all about. I had read from some reviews to try the Parker rolls with the lavender whipped honey as well as the mushroom bisque. OMG, the bisque is so delicious that I really wanted to just have it all to myself but did share of course. The Parker rolls are good, although the rolls are just a plain white roll actually, nothing special there, but it's the salt? that they sprinkle on top, and the lavender they put in the butter, these flavors are probably not something you've had before and it's just a delightful flavor experience. Also tried was the Kennebec Pommes frites... if it weren't for the fry sauce served with these there just wouldn't be anything to say about them at all. The fry in and of itself is very Bland, they should use some truffle oil or something. The star of the show for us was their crispy pork steak that sits atop a sweet potato Patty flavored with ginger and yellow curry. Now I have to tell you I am not a fan of Curry and don't like strong flavors of ginger but we were in a experimental mood and wow am I ever glad that we were, because the flavors on this dish were outstanding and interesting and made my palette sing with notes not heard before. I don't remember the name of the desert that we had but it was delicious, it was a hazelnut brownie sundae sort of concoction and excellent. The staff and our server were fantastic. They knew just right when to come and everything was absolutely perfect and just an overall wonderful dining experience. Thank you hairy Lobster!
