I forgot to request a table instead of a booth during my reservation. The hostess could’ve asked since there were four of us. If you need to give directions to a new employee, pause your conversation and help the customer that is standing in front of you.

We ordered the new Crab & Shrimp Alfredo. Two orders. The server brought only Shrimp Alfredo. After two bites we realized there was no crab. Flagged down another server and asked them to find our server. Original server arrived, said sorry “ I only hears shrimp Alfredo.” Ten minutes later the proper entree arrived.

Dined in the bar area early enough to catch happy hour!!! Their Monday Lobster and Scampi was awesome and priced under $20!! Our Server Christina was Grest… busy but still very attentive :). We noticed Wednesday steak and lobster special too so we’re definitely coming back!!! Gotta Love Red Lobster 🦞 fest!

All three diners ordered the 3 shrimp entree specials and were pleased with the quality of the entrees. Server simply had too many tables on a Friday so service was ok but not outstanding.

Open table had multiple openings for red lobster. We get there for our 8 pm reservation 20 mins early. The staff is arguing! The lobby and out the door like 100 people standing. Waiting. People had been waiting 1 to 2 hours and still have not been seated. We left and many others. No valentines dinner for us. We went across the street to the bar and got bar food. :( it was a disaster for lots of people. Do not recommend. They can’t handle a business evening.

Terrible service. They gave us appetizers and no silverware or napkins. No one was around so we had to eat with our hands. No bread or drink refills. The seafood stuffed mushrooms were terrible. The mushrooms weren’t even cooked all the way. They were hard. The lobster flatbread was super dry and all the toppings looked like it was made a long time ago and they only just brought it to us. Then we had to wait ages for our main entree so we decided to leave after an hour and just payed for the appetizers and I wish we didn’t pay for that because it wasn’t worth the amount it cost and we didn’t even eat all of it. All in all….terrible experience. Ruined the first date night my husband and I have been able to have in like 3 years and who knows when we will get another chance. We will probably never go back to Red Lobster again. At least not that location.

Our party arrived per our reservation last night & were denied service and told they decided they wouldn’t allow parties of more than 5 people even though I was allowed to make a reservation for 8 via Open Table. The person working at the desk dismissively just said sorry that’s what we decided to do for tonight. No professionalism, no real concern that the sudden change in process didn’t affect our V-Day plans. Extremely disappointed and reminded why Red Lobster has been declining for years and not an establishment we frequent often.

I was not impressed with the seating watch as people were waiting upward of an hour to be seated, but walking through the restaurant, there was open tables and worst tables that needed to be cleaned so people could be seated. Then $20 dollars for fish and chips that was small and looked like they came out of a bag. Could have got better and half the price at Long John Silvers.

Service was very below average as the waitress very much seemed like she did not want to be there.
