The food is consistently good at this Red Lobster and the service was outstanding. I received an email that gave me 20% off the food, since I'm a member of their loyalty club, which was nice.

Our server was excellent. The food tasted a little more salty than I remember it but still tasty. I love salt but I now prefer real salt so maybe that is why. It will go back and ask for less salt in my food if possible.

The service wasn’t the greatest. Our waitress was in La La land and forgot to bring water and silverware when she first came to our table.

The endless shrimp brought us in! It was a decent experience. They were out of romaine lettuce for Cesar salads - weird thing to be out of during the weekend. Our server, Amy, was very friendly and attentive!

Kitchen and bar seemed slow. Not enough waitstaff. Our server was very nice and capable but was stretched way too thin, resulting in high wait times for most everything. Food was very good. If they hired enough staff, they would draw in (and retain) more customers.
