| - You, dear Yelpers, are about to see a man pour his heart out...
I have a couple of confessions to make to you...
1.) I had never eaten at a Red Lobster before...
-- I don't know what to tell ya... I usually go out to eat with friends, and not once in my 25 years of existence has anyone ever suggested we go to Red Lobster, even though individually they all talk about how much they love it... I guess it's not really one of those places you go with a large group. I mean, they have plenty of space available but the bill splitting would be nay impossible due to the expensive prices. I would certainly take a date there though, mostly because science shows that women are more attracted to a man's status than anything else, and nothing shows status like a $70 meal...
2.) I think I may be allergic to seafood :/
-- Every time I touch the stuff I feel funny for a few hours afterwards. Although, this time I may be able to blame the top-shelf Long Island Iced Tea (Absolut, Bacardi, and Patron Citronge) and the Disaronno on the rocks, both of which were amazing and very alcoholic.
Now that I've gotten all that mushy stuff out of the way, here's the deal...
There were two of us, my uncle/ family friend and I (we had a man date) and we ordered the appetizer nachos and our main course was the Crab Lover's Trio with side salads. I think the nachos had some sort of lobster meat on them but I could not really tell for I had never tasted lobster before and they just tasted like nachos to me, not a bad thing though cause I love nachos, and darn those jalapeños were spicy!
For our drinks he ordered a couple of Johnnie Walker Black Label on the rocks and I had one top-shelf Long Island Iced Tea and a Disaronno on the rocks, we had no complaints about the taste or strength of our drinks.
Our waitress was a little slow in bringing our drinks and free biscuits or crab cakes or whatever they were (which deserve a review all their own. Those things are freakin' delicious!) considering there were maybe 10 other people in the entire restaurant at the time (8:30pm on a Sunday), however, to her credit, she did bring us extra to make up for it. The deliciousness of the biscuits makes up for their delay.
The main course itself was very satisfying. I've decided that even though I may possibly be allergic to seafood, I will continue to try new underwater creature dishes. The Crab Lover's Trio contained shrimp stuffed with crab meat (greatest idea ever!), some King Crab legs and some Snow Crab legs, all for around $25. I finally realized why countless men risk their lives every season in order to fish for the elusive King Crab... those things are a treat from the Gods. The legs are large so they contain plenty of meat and that meat is so tender and delicious that it melts in your mouth just like the butter sauce that comes along with it. I'm not sure if we were supposed to get one of those metal leg-cracker things I see on the commercials, but we did not receive any tools and had to use our bare hands to rip the crab legs apart. This provided a carnal sense of accomplishment to the meal but also made a mess and made my fingers really sore because those stupid crab have little spikes on their legs. Those little spikes might protect you from seafaring predators, but I am man! I'm on top of the food chain and I'm gonna eatchu!
Overall, it's not too shabby of a place to eat some crustaceans, chow down on some amazing biscuits and have a few strong drinks.
Oh yeah, the salads were useless... definitely opt for something else.
