| - Some friends of mine have this thing called Fat Fridays! It's the beginning of a debauched weekend when the diets, workouts, no drinking stops on a dime and are thrown out onto the curb!
So we went to Red Lobster for Fat Friday! I haven't been to a Red Lobster in like years, so I was kinda tentative about eating here, but the company I knew would be fun so why not! Yup, indeed, the company was fun.
As far as the food goes...the menu has changed a lot and for the better! It still has signature Red Lobster fare like all the fried sea food you can think of, served with potatoes cooked in any way imaginable. But they also had sensible dinners pared with nutritious sides! I was amazed. This made for a long time deciding what to get, but I was hungry and had the focus of a lioness on a hunt!
I dictated to the table that we have the lobster pizza for starters! no one complained out loud but I feel the daggers come out of your eyes! hahaha
I ordered a special dinner called the Hawaiian Isles...four coconut shrimps, salmon with a pineapple teriyaki type sauce, comes with salad, rice, and fries! Yeah...it's Fat Friday! I also had a Mango Mai Tai that was dangerously delicious! It was gone in a sec...almost got brain freeze. Our server was the most gracious and attentive server I have had in a chain restaurant, she was wonderful!
My rec...try out Red Lobster again, the food has improved, just be prepared for the lackluster crowd.
