So you walk into a New York City Diner on a Friday night and order the Lobster Bisque from the menu.

What do you expect coming back from the kitchen to eat? Crab Meat? Not this Roosevelt Island resident who describes what happened when she ordered Lobster Bisque at the Trellis Diner last Friday night:

Menu Scam at Trellis : On the menu tonight is Lobster Bisque soup. I ordered a cup. It had no lobster in it and was not a bisque. It was fake crab meat in a cream soup. I ate it anyway. I asked the manager why he calls it Lobster Bisque. "Sweetheart, All diners use fake crab meat in their Lobster Bisque in NYC". Being not his "Sweetheart" I told him that was not true and that I was going to tell all of Roosevelt Island what he said. I have never come across this soup scam before in a food serving establishment, ever. Is everyone at the Trellis being fooled?

I don't know if serving crab meat in a lobster bisque is common New York City diner practice or not. If it is, Trellis should at least label it's menu accurately so that patrons know they are getting crab meat instead of lobster.

UPDATE 4 PM - Seinfeld's Elaine likes Lobster Bisque too, Yada, Yada, Yada.
