“We called for a reservation for a large group of 30 with just a few hours notice, the reservation quickly tuned into more like 50 of us for a Poms state celebration. They took exceptional care of us on short notice, Hailey was our server our group also had Adrian assisting the other half of us. They were fantastic helped us celebrate a birthday as well as winning State with dessert, took orders between multiple parties and split checks like it was easy and were so pleasant with what could have been a very overwhelming and stressful to any server. The Manager Whitney went above and beyond to help us celebrate and that is rare these days! Definitely would recommend this restaurant and establishment 🤩🤩🤩“

Not only did she provide me with great service, she was hustling her butt of to help all the customers. This Woman is amazing. She needs a promotion. Her smile and attention to detail was outstanding.“

“Tonight’s meal at Red Lobster in Aurora Colorado Southlands was wonderful. Shawn our server greeted us and asked us if we wanted water, soda, or a cocktail. We orders our drinks and put in our order for calamari.

After our appetizer arrived, both my husband and I had the surf and turf filet. I ordered my filet medium with no seasoning (trying to cut back on salt). My sides, I had the baked potato and crispy Brussels sprouts. My hubby had mashed potatoes and broccoli. Our food came out hot. And to my wonderful surprise my steak had no salt and was cooked medium just like I ordered and my husband’s was medium rare just like he ordered. Thank you Shawn.

It’s rare that my husband and I order the same cut of meat and get it cooked exactly the way we wanted it. I wanted to make sure the chef knew we were pleased with the meal. We later found out Chef Luis made our meal perfect. Everything from the service to the food was excellent and deserving of 5 stars.“
