Great food! OK service. Pricy lunch - overall a good lunch.
My husband + I went for lunch at this Red Lobster last week. We were seated immediately and our server, Debra, showed up shortly after. She was friendly, but she didn't point out the specials (as I heard her do for other patrons) She took our orders for drinks, appetizer and lunch.
We ordered the lobster dip appetizer. It comes with tortilla chips and a small cup of pico de gallo. The dip was tasty, hot and cheesy = perfect. The chips were thin and a little greasy. The pico de gallo was just OK
Debra brought some warm Cheddar Bay biscuits with our salads. The biscuits were good. The salad was fair. The dressing (blue cheese) tasted warm and bland, like it came from the dollar store.
It took a long time for our finished plate from the appetizer to be removed from the table. I don't know what the hold up was as the server did come back and forth to tend to other tables and passed up our plate a few times in the process.
We each ordered lobster tail entrees. I don't remember the exact names, but I had lobster tails with lobster Mac and cheese. My husband had lobster tails with lobster Alfredo. We were almost already full from the appetizer, salad and biscuits so the portion was more than enough for us. The lobster was very good. We are not food snobs so we don't know good lobster from not so good lobster, but we really enjoyed these lobster tails. The pastas were also wonderful. I ordered green beans as a side and they were very oily. The mashed potatoes were great, though. My husband ordered rice, but I guess the server heard "fries" because that's what he got. We told our server he had wanted rice and she brought out a portion of rice shortly after, not taking back the fries (bonus fries!) The rice and fries were very good, as well.
The restaurant wasn't very busy at the time. It was clean and pleasant. There is a tank by the entrance with live lobsters.
Our lunch bill came to about $90! Yes, for 2 people! This was for 2 entrees, 1 shared appetizer, 2 drinks and no dessert. Kind of pricey for lunch but we did have leftovers to bring home. Debra was so kind to bring us extra biscuits to take home, too.
We knew going in that Red Lobster wasn't cheap. We were celebrating (finished filing our taxes) so we felt we deserved a nice treat.
