Be a lobster to get a lobster

The Fourth Estate restaurant will host Lobster Night, Wednesday, Oct.31, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. To celebrate Halloween, the restaurant is offering a free dinner to anyone who comes dressed as a lobster. No lobster claws in your closet? Come in any costume and snag a free glass of wine.

Members pay $25, non-members $30 for a steamed one-and-a-fourth pound Maine lobster with coleslaw (or salad) and choice of french fries or oven crisped new potatoes. Reservations are requested 24 hours in advance to assure a crustacean; phone: 202-662-7638. A very limited number of lobsters will be available for those without a reservation.

The regular Fourth Estate menu will be available for non-lobster lovers featuring vegetarian Greek style moussaka, shrimp and squash risotto, or the ever popular NPC crab cakes. Desserts include a black plum and mascarpone tart and our signature chocolate and raspberry mousse.
