Red Lobster is one of my guilty pleasures that I hate to love.
SERVICE: Service here was awesome. We got a sweet gal named "Shay". It was short for something else, but I can't remember her full name for the life of me. Anyways, she definitely made the experience. We did the endless shrimp special and without her attentive service, the special would have been difficult to enjoy.
Darden's game with these endless specials is to have a ghost server that doesn't offer refills enough for the special to be worth your money, but that was not the case with this lady. She checked in constantly to fulfill my insatiable need for shrimp.
FOOD: Buttery, fattening, and salty. So like, really good. The new Parmesan peppercorn shrimp and the Korean BBQ were really good. I continued to get those. Personally, my heart lies with the Parmesan shrimp.
And of course the cheesy bread was awesome. We took some more to go.
DRINKS: The old fashioneds here are simple and to the point. Well done, on the bartenders part. Certainly not the noisiest OF I've ever had, but it gets the job done.
