I'd only really been to Red Lobster as a kid when celebrating something.
For Christmas, I received a gift certificate so felt they had to be used. I otherwise would never go as an adult. It just has this cheezy, busy, family vibe that I'm not interested in for a dinner out.
We finally went so we could use up the gift cards. The place was teeming with small children but we got a pretty private booth.
Service was spectacular, that is one thing this place has going for it, our server was thoughtful, attentive, and although the place was super busy, she never made us seem like it. When our appetizers were taking too long she brought our salads before hand.
Food was alright, our crab legs were IMO overcooked and dry which made them difficult to eat. The sides were delicious though.
Overall, we had a nice night out. Would we ever go back? No. But with a gift card we had to use up it was a decent dinner.
