My wife had a hankering for seafood so we came looking for the only RL in the area. But we were disappointed. First impression was made by a tired somewhat tatty menu both the paper it was printed on and the content. Yes some corporate chef somewhere dictates the offerings. I enjoyed the lobster bisque... The stuffed sole was passable... More

When we arrived there was a wait but the time passed quickly with free snacks being passed around to those who were waiting for a table. the service and food was excellent. Our party of four was very pleased with the food, service and price.

I end up going here with family when one of the "fests" are on (ie lobster fest, shrimp fest, etc). Its not bad, and we do enjoy it, but honestly it's not the greatest seafood and the side dishes are highly processed and salty.

Once we got a table, the food came quickly and was very good. The biscuits are so tasty. Lots of breaded shrimp and big salads.

Very difficult to find parking here. Figured it was packed, but we walked straight in to a table, restuarant wasnt full. Lobsterfest was on, many good looking dishes on a separate menu. Ordered the platter with lobster tail, shrimp and some crab legs. I must say I always prefer crab to lobster because its more tender and sweet, but this... More

Well, this place has the best cheese biscuits that are usually served hot and fresh from the oven. I would sometimes enjoy the trio shrimp platter. but lately I make up my own veggie meal, but still enjoy the singapore sling, or strawbery daiquiri with my meal. My daughter enjoys the trio shrimp platter. I will always recommend Red Lobster,... More
