| - I am so, so disappointed by my most recent experience at Red Lobster. I had a friend come in from out of town, and she wanted to try Red Lobster (not a restaurant they have in her hometown). We went on a Saturday evening, and it was surprisingly empty, but when we asked to be seated in a booth, were rudely told that "booths are reserved for larger parties of 4 or more" - lie, because I've definitely sat in their booths before with a party of 2, and even more, there were groups of two sitting in booths around us? If it was a busy time I'd understand, but about 70% of the restaurant was empty, so I'm not too sure what was happening there.
We decided to order the Admiral's Feast and the Seaport Lobster and Shrimp. What a disappointment. The Feast was so greasy almost everything was soggy, and when we moved the food to our side plates there was a large puddle of oil left on the plate. While tasty, we got slightly nauseous after eating only a few clams because it was like biting into solid oil. The Seaport Lobster and Shrimp was extremely underwhelming. Again, very tasty, but the portion was so small it just didn't feel worth it.
I'm upset because I was really hoping to give my friend a great experience by trying out restaurants she's never been before, but I'm afraid after this experience she may never visit a Red Lobster ever again. The only upside to our visit was our friendly waiter, who I believe was new, but worked very hard to make sure we had everything we needed.
