    On January 2, 2025, we dined at the Red Lobster restaurant located in Monroeville, Pa. Mr. Julian was our server. I had the Create Your Own Ultimate Feast with salmon, snow crab legs, six-grilled shrimp skewer with rice pilaf, six-shrimp scampi, two orders of steamed broccoli and unsweetened iced tea. My wife had Atlantic salmon, steamed broccoli, baked potato and lemonade. We shared six cheese biscuits and a slice of Key Lime pie. The service Julian provided and the taste of the food, and beverages were so great, we are looking forward to enjoying those experiences again - very soon.

    We had a very enjoyable evening at Eighty Acres last night. Our server, Michelle is so friendly and professional. Chef. Don makes the best Walleye with Black Garlic aioli and shredded brussell sprout slaw. My husband loved the Filet Mignon that was prepared perfectly medium rare. We always enjoy after dinner drinks at the bar with Paolo. Amy is the most gracious host anywhere.
