  • I have not been inside a Red Lobster since the days when I used to go with my family as a child back in the late '90s. Back then I used to think it was such a treat for a Friday night dinner, but as I got older my palette changed and expanded. Yet, I always retained the fond memories of the seafood smell and pressing my face against the glass tank in order to get a better view of the live lobsters in the lobby. Since they had their grand opening yesterday for this new location in Matthews, I wanted to try them out for nostalgia's sake, so when my friends asked me to join them I was ready to go. This new location's décor is part of the Red Lobster's parent company's, Darden Restaurants, new concept for the brand. Gone is the stodgy look of the past; in its place is a nautical-inspired look that evokes its faux New England marine time heritage. Despite being busy, we were quickly seated and our waitress was very attentive and accommodating. I had the typical lobster with vegetables and it also came with pasta and shrimp. The food was fine, but I felt that there was a little too little of the lobster and a lot more of the shrimp and everything else. (They lost a star right there.) The lobster pieces that I could find were pretty decent. The vegetables were cooked evenly and sautéed just right while the pasta was tender and delicious. It was reasonably priced for a seafood dish containing lobster. Overall the food was good, but not necessarily outstanding, but good enough to want to go there once in a while. The Red Lobster feels like a perfect place for families with its kid-friendly menu, and judging from the many children I saw last night it was mostly a family affair. The Red Lobster makes you think back to when you were a child all over again, but sometimes nostalgia is not enough of a pull to become a regular customer. Finally, I rate this place as a 3.5 stars.
