| - The first thing I have to mention is the interaction with the host and manager. We had a reservation and, upon arriving, the host indicated that the table assigned to our party had a prior party still sitting in it. He went on venting about how they'd been there for 2 hours, check paid, and are just sitting there talking. I understand these things happen, but it's a little uncomfortable to have a restaurant berating other customers behind their backs to you. How do we respond to that? To make matters worse, when we were seated at the common table, the manager came over apologizing for the seating problem, and he again went on about how irritating he found the party overstaying their welcome. I was very self-conscious about leaving as soon as we'd paid, that's for certain.
On to the actual event. It's Bonefish Grill. It's slightly preferable to Red Lobster. You go for the ambiance which is a little like PF Changs - date night on a budget with respectable but not exciting or memorable food selections.
As I'd been to Bonefish Grill before I decided to try something new and got the Lobster Roll. Bad choice, as it was overpowered with salt and celery. It almost felt vegetarian. The celery pieces should never be larger than the lobster pieces. This roll would absolutely benefit from large chunks of lobster, truer to a New England style. The side of coleslaw was, in my opinion, too vinegary and thus inedible.
