| - There are some restaurants that I don't eat at because I've never had a good meal there, or because there's plenty of local alternatives that are way better. Being from a seafood-rich area in the South, Red Lobster was always at the top of my "Ain't No Way In Hell I'm Eating There" list for both reasons. Then I find myself hungry, wanting a place with published nutritional information, and in Pittsburgh. Here I come Red Lobster!
The interior is fine, and the waitstaff were nice. I got a bowl of New England Clam Chowder, grilled shrimp house salad and a glass of wine for about $15. The chowder was fine, but the salad was disappointing. All of the lettuce was the white part of iceberg. Zero green lettuce in this salad. The waitress noticed that I only ate the shrimp off the top, and asked if there was a problem. She was sweet about it, but when I said that I wasn't going to eat a salad that was solely comprised of white iceberg, she told me that next time I could request Romaine. Well, there's not going to be a next time, and I shouldn't have to request that my salad be made with actual green lettuce. Call me demanding.
