Yeah...so for some reason, I'm writing about Red Lobster. I mean I guess I did eat there yesterday but it really almost seems like a waste of effort.
A while ago (like 20 years) I liked Red Lobster a lot. Use to go to the one in Torrance Cali by Del Amo mall pretty regularly and it was halfway decent. But somewhere along the way it kind of went off the rails.
Prior to last night the last 2 times I ate at a Red Lobster was in Bismarck and Grand Forks ND...at that's about 7 years ago. After those experiences I swore the place off.
So back to last night. It was Lobsterfest time so we ordered two lobster based meals. Not bad. The melted "butter" stuff was waaayyyy salty. But other than that things weren't bad.
The service...nice guy but waaaaaaayyyyyyy tooooooooo slooooooooowwwwww. Asking for tabsco sauce after the meal came took waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy tooooooooo loooooooonnnnnnnggggggg. Getting a refill on a soda took waaaaaaayyyyyyy tooooooo loooooooonnnnnnngggggg.
With a bottle of wine, a $10 off coupon and tip, bill came to $100 for two. Whaaaaaatttttttt!!!!!????? For not much more money I can get a far better seafood meal, at a far nicer restaurant (a few places in the Scottsdale Quarter come to mind).
It might be another 7 years before I return.
