| - Ok, all done with Red Lobster for a good long while now. Cheddar Bay biscuits no longer has the pull they once did, after this visit.
The 7 of us walked in on a Monday night and we were seated quickly. Host was friendly, waiter Jeremy was super nice and manager was all smiles. What wasn't nice was the off-duty employee hanging out at the hostess station, getting employees to sign a card, while texting on her phone - totally oblivious to guests waiting to get to the hostess stand or that she was being loud and inappropriate. She looked like she was dressed for bed and hanging out at home, rather than a restaurant. I am surprised the manager didn't correct the spectacle.
Mr. Jeremy seemed like he was fast, as he raced around the room, but we waited a long time for drinks, food and refills. It was pretty odd for an almost empty restaurant. The Mojitos from the bar were really good though. I used to love the mussels appetizer, but this visit they were awful. I had the 4-course special. It had all I wanted.... if it was edible. The shrimp skewer was still a bit raw. The coconut shrimp was ok. The rice under the uncooked shrimp wasn't cooked either, so I am glad I asked for a potato and they still gave me the rice. I told Mr. Jeremy that the rice wasn't cooked and he was on to something else before I could tell him about the uncooked shrimp too. With the larger party, I didn't want to make a fuss and I couldn't seem to get his attention without on. The caramel cheesecake dessert was tiny and looked like the swirled cheesecake you get from GFS or Sam's club. Eh. My husband's steak was cooked nicely. Bill was still $80 for the two of us.
I think we'll spend that $80 elsewhere next time, so we can both eat our meals.
