Red Lobster

To start off, our server Cindy was great. She was very sweet and was quick to fix the issue we ran in to. I ordered from the "3 from the sea" menu. I ordered the Caesar salad, crispy coconut shrimp, and the Atlantic salmon with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. All which were pretty good. Aside from my salmon dish we also ordered two main lobster tails and was slightly disappointed in the quality check before leaving the kitchen. One tail was perfect and delicious. The other was shriveled up, brownish colored, and had a bad smell to it. However, they were quick to replace it with a new one. Overall it wasn't a bad experience and I still enjoyed my dish aside from the lobster tail issue.

Overall experience and service was good. Waited 5-10 min for seating. Plenty of seating available, still not sure why anyone had to wait to be seated. We ordered the lobster artichoke dip, shrimp trio, and lobster dinner. I know it is normal to have conversations during your meal but never as loud as the conversation at the booth right next to us. It was loud enough that we felt like we were actually sitting in that same booth with them and we had known each other a while.

They were very short staffed on the day I went (only 2 servers for the entire restaurant). But to balance it out and not overwork the servers, they made customers wait until seating them. Plenty of open tables, but definitely understand why. Well managed! Staff was obviously overwhelmed, yet they were still so friendly and efficient. Food is great! Portions are very big. Be careful not to over-order. Great place to go with a group and try different things.

I've been wanting to try the Kung Pao noodles for a while now especially with crispy (deep fried) lobster. The noodles tasted good but lobster was really disappointing, I understand that my order was takeout - which they did good by packing the lobster separately and kept it somewhat crispy albeit oily - but the batter was just pure salt, it completely ruined the whole meal for me. Thank you for the free birthday appetizer, we enjoyed it

We had a lovely dinner here. The staff, though in short supply, were friendly, fast, and efficient. They had us sat within a few minutes. Our food came out quickly and we were happy with the meal. The customers were another story. Seriously, I cannot believe how rude and demanding people were behaving. One person told their server it's not COVID anymore so why should they have to wait. Ridiculous. I wish I could do more for the staff here. They put up with too much. Thank you to everyone that helped us!
