    Is lobster bisque supposed to be cold? If so, this is your place. The service was fine but had to remind the waitress to bring the salad after my entree was served and for a to go bag twice. My wine glass was dirty. Now that I think about it, a very disappointing experience. Good thing I had great company.

    Our food and server were lovely. However, management seemed a bit dysfunctional regarding seating reservations.

    Do not make a “reservation” on a popular night/ holiday. they do not cap the “reservations” they take so they become worthless as a “reservation” since everyone else waiting in line at the front of the restaurant also made a “reservation”. we waited about an hour and 15 minutes for a “reservation” we had at 8pm. don’t do it, go somewhere else.

    Red Lobster is an icon. But, it appears others have stepped up the seafood game. Our meal was good, not great. The drinks were very weak. Didn't taste the rum in either drink. The biscuits are excellent, of course. The meals were bland compared to other restaurant's seafood fare. Not bad, just not wow. The cheesecake came half frozen. Red Lobster seems to be to seafood what Fazolis is to Italian, albeit at 120 bucks for 2 people.

    Waitress was the worst: could tell she didnt want to be there. Didn’t drop off food, didn’t provide refills.

    Grilled fish was bland and dry. Other food was as-expected. Service was friendly but much slower than usual and not attentive.

    Red Lobster must be very short handed. We called ahead for seating. Still had to wait at least 20 min. Only to find when we were seated many booths and tables empty. That tells me they are short staffed. COD was still good. But the long wait to get food was not up to par.
