    Our server, Cheryl (sp?), was terrific! She was a real pro: upbeat and friendly but not awkward (neither overly familiar nor obsequious). Offered her comments in a welcome way and generally seemed to have complete charge of a VERY busy space. The food was very good, especially the side we ordered (sprouts) as an appetizer. My scallop dish should have skipped the “snap peas” which were what most of us call edamame: they were quite tough and leathery, which didn’t play well with the tender quality of scallops (or anything!). If they’d stuck with the crunch of the asparagus and subbed in something else more digestible for the peas, they’d have a winner. My companion’s Portuguese Stew was a hit. The atmosphere is bustling and noisy: great for an energetic rather than quiet and romantic outing. Kids would have been welcome, too, I think. All in all, would definitely recommend!

    It was Valentines Day and we made a last minute reservation. They worked with the crowd of reservations and walking ins very well. Wait staff was accommodating and the food was hot and came quickly considering the restaurant appeared to be at full capacity. I hadn’t been to Red Lobster in over 20 years. But, this experience was very good. I will visit regularly going forward. Job well done - Waldorf location.

    We celebrated my birthday at Red Lobster, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Before we even arrived, the staff had already set up two tables for our party of 12 (two tables of 6), which made everything so smooth and stress-free. My husband and I had booked ahead, and we really appreciated the effort they put into making sure everything was ready. Our server, Jada, was absolutely amazing—so patient, attentive, and professional throughout the entire lunch. She kept everything organized, made sure everyone had what they needed, and did it all with a smile. The food came out hot and fresh, and for such a large group, that was impressive. Everyone enjoyed their meals, and the timing was perfect. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, which made the celebration even more special. Thank you to Jada and the Red Lobster team for making my birthday celebration so enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back!
