   The server was very nice and attentive. As a long time Red Lobster fan the food on this trip was less than ideal. The fish in the fish and chips meal was more breading than fish and the hush puppies were not hush puppies - they were corn nuggets. Dining companion's medium rare steak was very close to well done.

   Barb, our waitress was kind and totally wonderful. I really appreciated her thanking my Dad for his military service as Vietnam Veterans really appreciate this...as do all Veterans I'm sure. The table we sat at was cold and drafty & the chairs are too hard & uncomfortable for older people..was the only downside.

   I should of read the reviews. False advertisement. I make reservations on open table for 530. Get there and they tell me they do not take reservations and would be a 30 minute wait. Why does open table let you make reservations then. Service was terrible. Food is always over priced but good

   We are a senior couple, who had not been back to Red Lobster since the "pan-damn-ic." Food and top shelf margaritas, still very welcomed. However, we did find portions smaller and prices significantly higher. We understand the necessity for that, but it was a notable change.

   Red lobster didn’t plan for their “reservations” and everyone who had “reservations” had to wait 1.5+ hours to be seated AFTER their reservation time. We didn’t get seated until just after 8 and our reservations were for 7. We were told by the manager that red lobster doesn’t technically take reservations and this feature on the app was technically like a call ahead system. With this being said, the hostess still asked everyone who was standing in line waiting for a table if they “had reservations”. Extremely dissatisfied. At first we were told a half hour wait after our reservation and when that half hour came and went- we were told ANOTHER half hour.

   We showed up with a reservation and was told we would be moved to the top of the list because of it and then watched about 10 other tables get seated in front of us so I’m not sure what the point in doing a reservation is so. Other then that everything g else was ok.

   We booked our table for 4 through Open Table. We arrived on time (10 minutes early) and proceeded to wait 40 minutes to be seated. In my opinion, if you’re going to be taking reservations, you should have a table ready for that party. I don’t mind waiting if I’m a walk-in. However, when I make a reservation in advance, I would expect to be seated promptly. Apparently, this particular location uses open table as a “waiting list” and not a “reservation”.

   Great dining experience. Waitstaff was wonderful and right on the ball with everything. It was somewhat dark, so it was hard to read the menu's. Might need to add some lighting and it was on the cool side.
