The last time I had been to Red Lobster was at the NW Motel Village location just before they closed it up. I had been waiting for years to get back motivated by previous good experiences. Today we visited the 36th St NE location after specifically planning to be in that area in the late afternoon. For a start the location is terrible what with the LRT etc close by.
Ordered lobster tail with sides of broccoli and stuffed potato, mentioned to waiter I like lots of garlic as that's how I remembered it and why I had come across the city to try it again. What a disappointment, lobster was blah, the broccoli was bland, it was steamed or cooked in water with no seasoning or sauce and tasteless and rubbery. I used the garlic butter sauce that's supposed to be for the lobster on the broccoli but it didn't help at all, then had none for the lobster. My girlfriends assorted seafood platter was equally disappointing, basically tasteless and dry. One drink each, bill $76. This was a perfect place where I shouldn't have left a tip, but who likes to do that nowadays. A big disappointment, will never go back.
