January is a traditionally slow month for restaurants.
For many many years (as long as I can remember and I've been a customer since they opened in 1997), the Walnut Creek Yacht Club has offered a lobster dinner for the price of the year. So, this January, a 1 1/4 lb. Lobster, with Regatta Fries (garlic fries), Cole Slaw, and Drawn Butter (no substitutions) is priced at $20.11! Your only choice is whether you want your lobster boiled or broiled.
Drinks, appetizers, other side dishes, and desserts are extra.
Every year we go and this year was no exception.
And, every year, we all have lobster and a lot of fun.
The four of us shared Fried Calamari to start (no photo) and the Commodore's Sundae for dessert.
Sharing the huge sundae for dessert was a good plan; it consists of Chocolate Ice Cream, Vanilla Ice Cream, Chocolate Sauce, Caramel Sauce, Whipped Cream, Toasted Almonds, and two Cherries. Yum!
You are not required to have lobster, even in January, at the Yacht Club. In fact, if you want lobster any time of year, including January, you must request it at least a day before your meal there. All the fish at the Walnut Creek Yacht Club is fresh and the selection varies daily. It's my favorite seafood restaurant in Contra Costa County.
If you do want to take advantage of the January lobster special, you have until January 31. Reservations are a must!
Note: the Yacht Club is closed on Sunday.
Bon Appetit!
