I've eaten at a few different Red Lobsters in the valley and for the most part, I am rarely impressed. The prices tend to be a bit high and the service tends to be only average for average food, in short a three star experience all around.
So the Red Lobster in the Metro Center area was a very pleasant improvement over that experience. We had a great server who kept up with our needs without being annoying and the food was pretty great. I ordered the Salmon New Orleans with mashed potatoes and was very impressed. My one complaint is that the Bloody Mary I ordered must have had an entire bottle of Tabasco sauce in it but other than that, the meal was delicious and the service was excellent. Other bonuses include more spacious dining areas (we didn't feel cramped even though it was pretty full, as typical for a Red Lobster) and an excellent bar area that had a few TVs with the football game on. Very nice ambiance in the restaraunt overall.
I will definitely be making the trek out east to eat at this Red Lobster again
