Well this is the second year taking my son to Red Lobster for his birthday. Last year was awesome, amazing service and flat out incredible as our server bent over backwards to give us great service. This year it was just the three of us and quite honestly, after waiting 10 minutes to get water I was already irritated. No service, very busy yes but I had to get up and let the management know that we had been waiting for quite some time after being seated. They were busy and I get it but not cool in my opinion when you all want the all you can eat shrimp and you can't even get water lol!' We got no plates with our bread and used our napkins, had to ask for soda refill several times and only after complaining did we get some faster service. Well they did sing happy birthday but no scoop of ice cream, no nothing. Kinda crap when last year they have us 3 deserts for 8 of us. Not looking for the freebies but c'mon guys, who doesn't give a birthday desert?!! Oh well, food was good and fresh and hot. Just not worth $75 for slow service without even getting a scoop of vanilla for the kid. Had to go to Bashes afterwards to get cake for pictures. Who has a birthday without desert?? Red Lobster, I will pass next time. You were nice enough but that 25cent scoop of birthday ice cream would have made all the difference. BTW- we tip good but won't be back anytime soon.
