| - Red Lobster was my go-to restaurant for seafood when we're young with the treasure chest available toys for family dining there. Food as I know back then was a bit better. I still recall the garlic cheese bread being good and a bit salty. The garlic shrimp was very tasty and oily, and the lobster was fine as well. I've been to red lobster many occasion since then, but never put a posting on it, so now is the time.
We came for Lobsterfest where the meals consist mainly lobster. We got two apps, two mains, two beverage.
Beverage: Boston Ice Tea Peach ($3.60). Its basically nestea but with some flavouring. Gf got coffee =P Better at Mc'D!
Apps: Seafood Stuffed Mushroom ($10). This was and still is one of my fav app at this place. Mushroom cap stuffed with a little chunk of seafood and melted cheese. I just enjoy picking up the mushroom and the cheese still stretching, and after finishing this dish, there's still some cheese to scrap up and dip with your garlic bread biscuit!
Lobster Artichoke Dip ($12). Nice cheesy with little chunks of lobster meat. Meat not much i'd say, but still nice app. They tend to give more chip than dip.
Mains: Gf got the surf and turf. ($29.50). The meat is cooked as per request medium rare. But this steak is definitely not as good as a steakhouse...that is where we 'Sea Food Differently' as per their commercial...=) By the way, we got the steak, but the server forgot our lobster tail, so he brought it later, and gave us a discount on this meal based on that action...Nice of him to do that, even though we did not require it.
- Interesting thing is the lobster tail was actually cooked well and tasted very fresh and bouncy, and the meat was not sticky to the tail which means the lobster is dying or died earlier prior to being cooked.
Lobster Lovers Dream ($35.80). This is truly something I dream about when I was a kid, except I dreamed of having lobster, crab, scallop, shrimp all in one meal for a soft decent price...But this is close enough..
- This consist of two different lobster tail. One is their standard tail, and the other is more of the caribbean lobster tail which is a bit bigger and thick. I found my lobsters a bit more tough and rubbery, but not so bad that I won't eat it.
- It also comes with lobster chunks in my pasta. Again the lobster meat is not really standing out.
- I also added additional garlic shrimp for $5.50 for large portion which is 10 shrimps...I dunno what happened, but these are literally the smallest shrimps ever. I recall their garlic shrimp being bigger. This is the example: Back then 1995 onwards, garlic shrimp were the size of your adult pinky size... Now 2015, garlic shrimp in 1995 had kids who had grand children and its a third of the size of your pinky!!! No lies!
While I may say our server is easy going and friendly, he did make some simple errors. 1) No water brought throughout the whole service. 2) Requested for their biscuit, and only got it after requesting twice and it came after we're finishing up our apps. 3) Lobster tail that did not come with the steak at the time, but was made up for. Now being this case, I still may come venture for food here when I have that craving from childhood memories...With that said, I still left 20% tip!
btw- i can understand if the server is crazy busy then these mishaps may happen, but we came after 10pm on saturday, and each server only gets 4 table max, whether they're deuces, or four tops, so its hard to excuse the lack of service...
