Best Shellfish Restaurants in Southeast Nashville

Always good food and service. We continue to eat at Red Lobster because of this.

All the food was impeccably fresh and the presentation superb. I was entertaining guests who had just arrived from Sweden. We got one of everything and the delivery pace was excellent. Flatware was proffered and removed for each plate. We got a beautiful set of hand carved spoons that were stunning to look at but about as useful as poker chips on skewers. (Milk?) bread was perfection. Scallop crudo was visually perfect but so subtle as to taste merely of heavy cream on sushi. The beef tartare very well done (had freeze dried capers instead of jar brined). Again subtle. (“Nashville”) hot swordfish is a cute knockoff of the chicken dish but was oily in spite of being cooked to a perfect 140°. The snapper/grouper jaw on the other hand was not quite firm yet probably because of the complex bone structure blocking some of the heat. But the outside sear flavorful. Great effort by the staff but I was left wanting a little bolder flavor profile for the expense.

Jennifer at the bar, was amazing! Super kind and great memory! Server, Jack, was nice and balanced multiple tables. Busy day, so minor order hiccups, but understandable. Just wish the restaurant would get a face-lift! Things were dusty, carpet and bathrooms need a major do-over!

The waiter was at the top of his game. He made you feel welcomed, greeted the fathers with a Father's Day greeting, and the food was plentiful and good. The waiter listened to our requests and followed what we asked. The afternoon was enjoyable.

Overall this Red lobster was very good! I think for the most part people have forgotten about it! It need some minor updates but for the most part it was great and the food was phenomenal! Thank you!
