The four-course menu includes a Lobster Crème Brûlée for dessert. “Vanilla and lobster are considered a perfect pairing,” said Dissin, who offers the dessert a-la-carte for $8. “The sweetness of the lobster meat perfectly compliments the vanilla and caramelized sugar in the Crème Brûlée. The dish is incredibly decadent, and I’m excited to see our guests’ reactions.”
