    Fabulous experience sitting outside at the bar… an early dinner before the concert! Exactly what we hoped for… fresh seafood (got the tower)… and a really nice white wine (happy hour price)… it was a perfect afternoon!

    We celebrated my birthday at Red Lobster, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Before we even arrived, the staff had already set up two tables for our party of 12 (two tables of 6), which made everything so smooth and stress-free. My husband and I had booked ahead, and we really appreciated the effort they put into making sure everything was ready. Our server, Jada, was absolutely amazing—so patient, attentive, and professional throughout the entire lunch. She kept everything organized, made sure everyone had what they needed, and did it all with a smile. The food came out hot and fresh, and for such a large group, that was impressive. Everyone enjoyed their meals, and the timing was perfect. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, which made the celebration even more special. Thank you to Jada and the Red Lobster team for making my birthday celebration so enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back!
