Welcome to the first post of September and the start of Lobster Season on the island!

September marks the opening month of Lobster Season in Bermuda and, to celebrate the fresh seafood arriving back on your plates, the Fairmont Southampton’s Ocean Club is thrilled to host Lobsterfest all month long.

Offering lobster specials and a 4-course lobster menu, the Ocean Club is open daily for dinner from 6pm until 10pm, presenting the freshest local catch in a relaxed sea-side setting.  Dress code is anything from swimwear to seersucker.

Start with a delicious Lobster Volcano Roll with wasabi mayo, then enjoy Lobster & Potato Cake with pico de gallo as well as a half Bermuda Spiny Lobster with grilled asparagus. For dessert, savour a pineapple carpaccio with coconut sorbet and ginger soil.

The cost of the set menu is $99 per person, plus gratuities.
