text: I went here on Thursday January th for a late night dinner with my gf I have been going to Red Lobster from the age of and I am pretty familiar with everything on their menu nnIve prolly been to Red Lobster over times and I have made it a point to order the Clam Chowder each and every one of those times that I have dined there Lately I have increasingly become a fan of the crab and lobster dip they currently offer as an appetizer see pics nnI ordered the peppered sirloin and coconut shrimp combo with mashed potatoes as my side The peppered steak was a little over cooked for my liking but served the purpose of satisfying my appetite for the evening The Caesar salad that was served ahead of time left a bit to be desired The shrimp was good but by the th coconut shrimp I was kind of sick of themnnLike i said I have been going to Red Lobster my whole life so I more than knew what I was getting foodwise it was the crowd and the ambiance surrounding me that put a damper on the evening First we were forced to squeeze into one of those cramped twoperson booths with little to no table and leg room Secondly we were seated next to a birthday party of about people Apparently they forgot that Red Lobster is a public establishment and that we are LIVING IN A SOCIETY Because they acted as if they owned the place and were EXTREMELY loud and obnoxious constantly walking around snapping pictures left and right and seemed ready to burst out with laughter at the drop of a hat This was def not what my date and I were hoping for on a Thursday night and our entire Red Lobster experience would have been better if we had simply ordered it to go or sat in the bathroom and ate instead no really At least it would have been quiet nnOur server was a heavy set gentleman with glasses with a kind disposition However we were more than ready to leave by the time he finally arrived with the check and it felt like another minutes before he finally returned to our table run our credit card a pet peeve of mine I mean we asked for the check so we are clearly ready to go Why does it take forever to come back and TAKE our moneycard so we could leave him a tip and get the hecknout of there nnThe food was well Red Lobster the dream combination of upscale overpriced chain seafood Unfortunately the environment and ambiance we were subjected to was closer to a nightmare
