Half Rock Lobster Bellevue
Explanation:
There is a difference between a lobster (homard) and a rock lobster / spiny lobster /crawfish / crayfish (langouste). Although it looks more elegant on a menu to put "Lobster Bellevue" it is not strctly speaking correct and the restaurant may find itself with some very annoyed patrons. In the days of strong consumer protection, this is an important point for your customer.
Grand Larousse Universel : "Les langoustes se distinguent nettement des homards par leur première paire de pattes dépourvues de pinces et par leurs antennes fortes, longues, épineuses à la base. L'espèce de nos régions, Palinurus elephas, est pêché [...] au large des côtes bretonnes et en Méditerranée."
"Le homard européen (Homarus gammarus) d'un beau bleu sombre [...]. Dans nos régions, on pêche le homard au large des côtes de la Manche et de l'Atlantique et aussi en Méditerranée [...].

Half Lobster Bellevue


Explanation:
This is a type of culinary preparation for lobster (as explained in the first link in French) and I would leave the name in French since it is a specefic recipe (like Peach Melba, for example). You might want to offer some details if you have space.
