    My 38th birthday dinner was fantastic and I had the 3 most important people there tonight with me. My husband, parents, & myself particularly love the quality of the water because it taste so clean , crisp, and fresh. Our server Charles was amazingly knowledgeable when he presented the type of meats, cuts, and quality of each chopped. I highly recommend the bone-in dry aged ribeye. All the food that we ordered was delectable. Thank You again for the birthday dessert. Looking forward to another great dining experience.

    We got what we was expecting out of the experience it has been years since we’ve been to red lobster. We decided to go at the last minute on Valentine’s Day. They were overbooked. It took a long time for the food to come out. However, our waitress was amazing.
