I ate here with my wife recently. She loves seafood, and we had a gift card. So why not give it a shot. Surprisingly, we didn't have to wait long to get our seats.
We were given the standard spiel with the current promotion "lobsterfest". And boy, were they selling it hard. I know the servers have to do it, but I found it annoying. We ordered some waters with lemon.
Water arrive promptly w/o lemon. No big deal. Wife gets shrimp 3 ways. I get a steak and salmon meal. We both ordered Caesar salads. I've never had a salad with more bad lettuce than what was brought to me. At least half the lettuce was wilted and dark green/black slimy looking. I told the server and he promptly brought out a different house salad. It was fine, but the kitchen should know never to send anything out looking like that.
Our meals took a long time to arrive. Must have been a good 40 minutes. The food was decent enough. My steak was rather bland. But the salmon was good. My wife enjoyed her shrimp.
When the bill came, it said waters w/ lemon. Everyone has off days, I get it. A number of points during the experience rubbed me the wrong way. I thought Red Lobster was going through a re-branding recently. But it seemed like the same tired interior and menu from the last time I ate at one 4 years ago.
