I was surprised in a good way. Four of us went there for my daughter-in-laws birthday. I haven't been to a red lobster in over 15 years. It was 5 o'clock on Wednesday night. The restaurant was relatively quiet - about 20% full of diners. We were seated promptly. The waiter took our drink order within minutes. Appetizers came out within five minutes and our meals were out within 20 minutes. We went for lobster fest, and we were not disappointed. The lobsters were perfectly broiled; the shrimp or perfectly steamed, and the sirloin steak was as I ordered it-medium rare. The string beans with sun-dried tomatoes were excellent. And the only disappointment was that the mashed potatoes were cold and lumpy. Our waiter was very attentive and cordial. We all had an enjoyable evening.
