    We loved the Red Lobster restaurant 🦞. Everything was perfect. The food was delicious, and our waitress—we couldn't remember her name—was very friendly 👍 and served us in a very professional and attentive manner. Thank you to the Red Lobster staff for always being extremely friendly.

    Our first server was ending her shift and you can tell. She ended up passing us to Nora and her up beat spirit turned the night around. Now, we were having an enjoyable dinner. She checked up on us, just enough times, and gladly got us anything we needed. I will definitely be back and will ask for Nora. At least I’ll know that I have a friendly experience. As for the food, the coconut shrimp was cooked perfectly. I had the seafood boil with the Cajun butter, old bay and Parmesan, and added sausage. No spice added, but the sausage added a perfect kick. Lobster and shrimp was not overcooked and potatoes were nice and soft. I was a skeptic but they are 5 minutes from my house, so I’ll be a regular.
