    Great experience… the staff honored my request for a private table and had it decorated with white linen and red rose petals for our anniversary dinner. Service and food were excellent as always. Thank you… -Michael & Sherry

    We sat at a high top in the bar area. The service was great! We had a margarita flatbread and fish and chips. Plenty for 3 to share and then had the beignets for dessert. They weren't like traditional beingets but were still very good with strawberry and Chocolate dipping sauces.

    We have gone to Red Lobster for Christmas dinner as a family and again for Mother's Day, and both times were great! We made reservations and for Christmas we had a wait due to staffing issues, but for Mother's Day we did not. We sat in the far back room both times, and the entrance to the kitchen area could be better kept. Just looks like a dumping ground for all misplaced things. But, the food was excellent!!!
