Excellent service from the greeting to the drink at the bar to the server. We were walked through the process step by step of choosing your ideal meal and never rushed. We had salads to start and each selected a different cut of beef that were all perfectly seasoned and cooked. The sides were hit or miss- the creamed corn was corn sitting in a milky substance that seemed separate from the corn. The sautéed spinach was nothing remarkable but the asparagus and gigantic baked potato were great! We will be back!

Hosts did not greet me. It took over 15 min to get a server to greet us and take our drink order. The deal for the food was decent. Service got better throughout the night.

The food was good, and I have no complaints. It is about what you expect from Red Lobster. We had the Crabfest special, which is overpriced for what you get for $38. I got one cluster, and they were out of crispy potatoes. What made the experience most pleasant was our waiter, Laura. Even if the food were terrible, which it wasn’t, I would have given my dining experience 5 stars, just for how she cared for us and her other tables. Her service was superb, and it made for an enjoyable dinner.
