We came hungry for lobster, and were fully satisfied, with plenty to make another meal at home. My lobster and salmon dinner was cooked well, the rice bed was a tasty surprise, the sides of asparagus - slightly dried out, and crispy brussels sprouts were tasty. The shrimp was served on the side as I'm slightly allergic, and my guy appreciated those. His Ultimate Feast with Maine Lobster tail, Snow Crab Legs, coconut shrimp, and garlic shrimp scampi checked all the boxes. Our server was on her first week so hard to fault her for difficulties with discounts though she was friendly and attentive.

Cheddar biscuits were as amazing as advertised (but took 45 minutes to arrive), server was a little clueless and overworked but trying his best, no extra napkins or utensils were given with the crab boil. Overall just a pretty average experience.

It was 40 outside and the HVAC system was “broken”. The system was blowing cold air. Asked why the fans could not be turned off and we were told the control panel buttons didn’t work. Seems like emergency service should be called. Eating dinner and being chilled was not enjoyable.

Overall the food was really good. Crab legs, calamari and scallops were excellent. The lobster was a little funky and my kids fish and chips was not edible. But it is red lobster and what we were expecting. We had a server that was his second night. He was very friendly but clearly flustered. He forgot a lot of things and not just at our table. But he was trying so we were patient with him. They were out of a basic things too like the fried shrimp and gin. The hostess was flustered. We watched another table just walk out and not pay. So the night was pretty off. I know this happens but what was disappointing is there was absolutely no manager presence. The table next to us had to go find him several times and yet he still did nothing for damage control. If you know your brand new server is messing up big time, check in with his section and see how everyone is doing. I doubt we will be back because of the poor management. (Though those crab legs were amazing!) The food is great and the service was friendly.

Waited 20 minutes after being seated before I got up and found manager to get a server to come to our table. Servers electronic card plus a ball point pen on floor that I picked up and gave to the server when he finally came to acknowledge we were there. I think the manager should have at least comped our appetizer. Food was ok. Not great. Will think hard before returning.

The waitress was either very forgetful or overloaded. The restaurant was more than half empty. Orders were wrong or forgotten completely
