A: I've eaten at a few different Red Lobsters in the valley and for the most part, I am rarely impressed. The prices tend to be a bit high and the service tends to be only average for average food, in short a three star experience all around. So the Red Lobster in the Metro Center area was a very pleasant improvement over that experience. We had a great server who kept up with our needs without being annoying and the food was pretty great. I ordered the Salmon New Orleans with mashed potatoes and was very impressed. My one complaint is that the Bloody Mary I ordered must have had an entire bottle of Tabasco sauce in it but other than that, the meal was delicious and the service was excellent. Other bonuses include more spacious dining areas (we didn't feel cramped even though it was pretty full, as typical for a Red Lobster) and an excellent bar area that had a few TVs with the football game on. Very nice ambiance in the restaraunt overall. I will definitely be making the trek out east to eat at this Red Lobster again

A: A friend and I went here for our first time for my birthday dinner...the food was delicious unfortunately the service was awful which is the reason for 2 stars. We ordered escargot, oysters rockafeller, crab legs, ahi tuna, a $70 bottle of wine, snickers cheesecake, lava cake, and cappuccinos. So not only did we try quite a few items we also spent a lot for 2 people. From the moment we walked downstairs and met up with hostess and got ignored for a few minutes when we were the only ones there. I mean the hostess was five feet from us and only gave us a weird look until another gal came and sat us. The server seemed as tho we were a nuisance from the moment we sat down. They refused to assist with blue cheese stuffed olives and had to ask several times for a side of olives and blue cheese so we could stuff a couple ourselves. How can you claim fine dining and not have blue cheese stuffed olives for martinis? Ok that was just the tip of the iceberg. Did not get bread until main course and several requests. Not once did anyone refill our glasses of water. I actually had to get up myself and get the pitcher of water to refill our glasses. We topped off our own wine glasses every time. Our table was a mess. Plates wouldn't get cleaned off unless I asked. And don't order a cappuccino because it's definitely asking for too much. We are advocates of local fine dining but bad service can definitely ruin the overall experience. Dissapointed

A: Flies on the counter, greasy menus, rude employees, and out of beef ribs at 3:00 p.m. I tried you twice and both times it was a failure.

Q: negative

A:
This place might be just be the worst restaurant I have ever been at. The food wasn't that horrible but it certainly wasn't great. 1. They don't serve tap water, supposedly they are too small. 2. If you can't, fine. Just don't charge me 1.50 for a small bottle of pure life. 3. Today, it seems they were only taking reservations before one o'clock. Yet they had a sign that said seat yourself and the girl at the register said we could sit anywhere. 4. I think it was Alex the owner who was bussing tables and walked between people instead of around them the entire time. I am aware that the shortest distance is a straight line but don't make your guests uncomfortable by squeezing past me for no reason. 5. We shared the Britain. It was a crepe filled with undercooked potatoes and bacon and decent eggs. Maybe I don't fully grasp the crepe thing but I would suggest that crisp bacon and cooked potatoes might be more appealing. 6. If I had one more person ask me if I wanted a desert after eating a breakfast crepe and not take no for an answer I would have screamed. They offered us a free father's day crepe when we got there and we said yes but they made us wait for something we DIDN'T ask for. 7. One waitress we didn't know stopped to ask me about my walking dead shirt. She knew the show but only because her mom watches it. She informed us in quite a snooty fashion that she reads. Good for her. Chef Agnes, what can I say? She was telling the people next to us that they were waiting so long because of the aforementioned reservation that was needed before 1 pm. Then she said it was miscommunication with the staff and that they should have never been seated and did they want some hot sauce because the crepe they ordered wasn't very flavorful. I didn't just remember those things and put them in my own run on sentence, that is how she said it. I have been to three highly recommended crepe places on Yelp. I don't get it I guess. However, the overall weirdness of this place reminds me of that Kitchen Nightmares in Arizona with the blonde and the old guy.....so they would have to make the best food ever to get more than one star.
