It was supposed to be a special birthday meal and turned out to be buggy!!! Ordered a Margherita and it had at least 6 knats dead floating in it. I can't see too good so took a drink with a toast then asked my daughter what they were and OMG they were bugs. Manager took the drink back to the bar and made a fresh one but did not offer to not charge for it.... our bill ended up being 200.00 for 4 people you would think they could of at least comped the buggy drink.

Our meal was nothing short of absolutely delicious yumminess!! We'll, everything except the strawberry lemonades that is! All 3 of our lemonades looked COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! They were ALL a completely different shade of mauve/red. Apparently there's no set amount of syrup they use. They just glug it in to the glass and go with that. And none of them even remotely tasted the same either. One was incredibly weak, one was just right abd the last was ungodly potent and disgusting. Kinda just like Goldilocks. Our waitress absolutely couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. She was extremely Johnny-on-the-spot without being a nuisance. Couldn't have asked 4 any better service. She totally kept our biscuits warm and replenished without a single word from us. My husband and son got their daily special...and 8 is steak and shrimp. Their steaks were some of the best that they ever had any where. Juicy, tender and done absolutely perfectly. Their shrimp was crunchy, yummy and absolutely mouth-watering fantastic. Their Ceaser salad was delicious with just the right amount of salad dressing on it. I had the lobster pasta with shaved Parmasean cheese and toasted Panko crumbs on top. It had 2 different types of lobster pieces and chunks in it. The pieces ranged in all types of various sizes from tiny to literal chunks the size of quarters. Which was done do that U literally get lobster in every single fork full and bite. And it was done 2 perfection. Nothing tough and rubbery like lobster can get in the blink of an eye. The noodles were a source of discontentment however. They were MUCH, MUCH, MUCH too long, too wide and too thick. I definitely think that they need 2 completely and thoroughly rethink their pasta choice 4 this dish. But the sauce was silky, flavorful and just the perfect consistency. AND, it was exactly and totally the perfect amount of sauce as well. Not too little nor too much. Olive Garden could learn a thing or 2 about that problem. Invariably when I get their shrimp scampi, it's BEYOND dry. It used 2 have the best sauce that came with it, but not any longer. Red Lobster has most definitely come back from the brink in a glorious fashion. Their menu has been pared down a wee bit, but then there were also some wonderful additions added as well. Their prices are most definitely back in line with their excellent offerings and exceptional dishes. They've brought them down to actually be attainable by the average person/family. It's still not a normal night's go to, like say Culver's or Applebee's, Carlos OKelly's, but it's an extremely wonderful and somewhat easy on the wallet treat a few times a year.
