Red Lobster on Mother's Day..
As a person with a lot of experience working in the restaurant business, I am a firm believer in the worth of a restaurant being based in several components. I like to take a look into the entire staff, not just the servers and kitchen (I.e. food etc. ). I came in early to get the name of our big party on the list ahead of time with my younger cousin and was greeted with smiles, hellos and hospitality. I notified them that we would probably not be a complete party until a little while after we got a table and the manager on duty insisted that we sit anyway. Now, as much as that is not an ideal situation for the restaurant, it was great that they were still willing to do that. The bar tender took the time to get me some coffee while I waited and furthermore took the time to leave her station and get cream for me as well.
Our servers Brittney and Keith were very understanding of the incomplete party situation and were very friendly and talkative. This is something that is always refreshing. They kept our glasses full at all times and were on top of taking care of us.
The food was excellent! Our chilled jumbo shrimp cocktail appetizer was very simple yet refreshing. All the entrees that I had the opportunity to sample were very well balanced, not overly salty or buttery, which has sometimes been the case at some red lobsters.. The flavors had an opportunity to make themselves known.
An overall great experience. Thank you.
