I made reservations for my mother's birthday and we had a wonderful time. We requested reservation changes, on the day of, and were happily accommodated. Eric was our server and he was wonderful. We had a party of eight and nothing was forgotten, incorrect, or even needed the entire meal. We recommend the lambchops and the scallops for appetizers. The wedge salad was perfect. All our steaks were cooked perfectly and the seafood bucket is worth the money. The cream spinach side is a must. We all went home with food even after sharing. Wonderful time, will be back, requesting Eric as our waiter.

Mary was our waitress and she took very good care of us for our anniversary. She is very knowledgeable in several stations at Red Lobster. She fixed our drinks from the bar when we arrived. Then she chipped in and waited on our table. She checked on us several times and helped me with the portal when checking out our Bill. She made us feel special and was a fabulous waitress. Food was cooked to our liking and we would definitely go back.
