   Our waitress was most attentive and very pleasant . The entire meal for all of us was excellent and my coconut shrimp was the best I have ever had. Others had the lobster roll, the carbonara dish and one had the chicken Cesar salad. The chicken received a high rating for being moist and not dried out on the salad. We will all return and enjoy those wonderful cheese biscuits.

   It is a retro dining experience in which you shouldn't expect 5-star food, but reflect on the fact that it is still there, is still large & comfy, and provides many memories from years ago.

   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.

   We had to wait awhile despite having a reservation. Staff was friendly though busy. Food was delicious.

   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.
