| - Let's begin to say this was not my choice (and it never will be). It was a combined annual birthday dinner for my BF and his friend.
I've been here before with the same group (8-10 of us). They obviously like it, unfortunately for me.
If you're into proper seafood, this place is a big thumbs down. 'Dead Lobster' (as it is apparently affectionately known as) is only for those that like deep-fried, pre-made crap from the freezer. That, I can do at home with the help of say M&M's.
I thouight I'd be 'safe' this time and order steak and sides of 'Maine lobster tail' and 'grilled scallops'. I made it very clear to the server not to over cook the steak: under med-rare, closer to rare, chared on the outside. It was NY strip, rather than sirlon. It was over done - just pink in the middle rather than red, no char it was like medium in my book. The lobster was meagre in size and delightfully came with intestinal track... yum.. not! The scallops had no grill marks whatsoever and were rubbery & tasteless.
The famous biscuits I remember from years ago have changed. I recall them with nuggets of cheese and chive. The one thing that used to salvage a meal there are now just a dissapointment.
Everyone else at the table appeared to enjoy their food. I am not ususally shy about sending food back, but, personally, I think it's in poor taste if you are someone's guest.
The only reason they don't get one star is because the server was friendly and attentive. I am at a loss why this chain is always busy and the prices do not match food quality and/or preparation. For the same money, I could enjoy the Keg.
If you are a real seafood lover - AVOID.
