| - Five stars yet again. I do not usually visit chain restaurants much anymore, but my dad wanted to go here for his birthday dinner. So Red Lobster it is. And, fortunately, my mom had a gift card, as well. Even better!
I ordered the four course meal- offered Mon-Thurs, I think. You get salad, soup, entree with side, and dessert. I chose caesar salad, baked potato soup, steak with brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes, and brownie sundae. My dad got shrimp scampi. My mom got Walt's favorite shrimp. My brother got Admiral's Feast. Everyone, of course, indulges in the cheddar bay biscuits.
I was surprised with how much food I got with the four course meal. I couldn't eat it all. My dad ate some of the soup (he loves baked potato soup and I knew he would want some). My brother also assisted with the soup, steak, and sundae. Salad was meh. But that's ok. The soup was enjoyable. Steak was pretty nice for a seafood restaurant. Brussel sprouts were a bit overcooked, but quite good once I added a bit of salt. Mashed potatoes were fine. The brownie sundae was amazing. I was a bit nervous about it as I am not a huge brownie fan. However, I didn't want to pay the upcharge for a different dessert (it was $3 or $4) and my brother said he would help eat it. I really didn't want to share it once I had tried it, but I handed it over anyway. Everyone else liked their food, as well.
The young man serving us was quite good and patient with us as we were all figuring out what we wanted. Well, me, my mom, and dad. My brother gets the same thing everytime. We were even offered drinks to go. How nice.
Red Lobster is never first one my list, but we always have a great time when we go.
