| - Once in a while when my family is craving a nice seafood dish close to home, we will go to Red Lobster in Thornhill. We've been going to this location for as long as I remember, and their renovations in the past few years has really modernized the place while still keeping true to the brand.
They have many different selections in their menu. I always prefer their "Ultimate Feast" dish which includes crab, lobster, garlic shrimp, & etc. I always swap "Walt's Favorite Shrimp" which is basically popcorn shrimp, to their delicious coconut shrimp. There is an extra charge, which I found unnecessary.
Steer clear from their lobster linguine, I had mine and it was absolutely soaked in oil. The plate wasn't hot, and tasted like it was left under a heater for a while.
One pasta dish that is good is the lobster bake! It's filling, and has a variety of seafood in one dish. If you're craving mussels and scallops, this should be your go-to!
One of the best appetizers to get is definitely the stuffed mushrooms, you will not be disappointed.
With the appetizer, salad, and main dish, you'll be lucky to get to the dessert. I haven't had dessert at Red Lobster in a very long time because I'm always full.
Though it's your typical chain restaurant, you always leave with a full stomach.
My only critique, is that I wish the hostess was more friendly. She had zero energy, and looked like she didn't care about her job. Also, the waiters were not taking dishes away and clearing the table. I understand its usually busy, but it's nice to be checked up on, and not always having to flag down a server.
