Red Lobster — Restaurant in Toronto

Having been a dedicated patron of Red Lobster, I am appalled to share my dismay about the recent shocking news concerning the Red Lobster location at 3200 Dufferin St. This once shining beacon of seafood dining has evidently plummeted, failing miserably in its basic obligation towards maintaining food safety and hygiene.

Ten infractions were noted by Toronto Public Health in their latest inspection – a stark contrast to their previous inspection records. A single crucial infraction of failing to protect food from contamination is abominable, to say the least. To add insult to injury, there were also five significant violations, including a negligent disregard for equipment cleanliness and an alarming indifference to pest breeding.

Minor infractions also piled up, revealing a lackadaisical approach to the sanitary conditions of the food-handling room. The walls, floors, and the very space where our beloved seafood dishes are prepared were found to be inadequately clean and maintained. In an era when cleanliness should be of paramount concern, these violations are not only disappointing, they are downright alarming.

Equally concerning is the fact that this restaurant was given a 'conditional pass' and continues to operate. The Red Lobster brand and its franchisees owe it to their patrons to ensure a safe, clean dining experience - a commitment they have evidently failed to uphold at the 3200 Dufferin St. location.

In light of these glaring issues, I urge fellow diners to reconsider your choice. It is disheartening to think that an establishment we have trusted and loved can compromise our health and safety in such a manner. I am awarding a singular star in this review, representing a profound disappointment and a plea for immediate rectification.

I sincerely hope Red Lobster takes immediate action to rectify these issues, restoring our faith in their commitment to excellent food served in a safe and hygienic environment. Until then, my advice to potential customers is to seek a safer, cleaner alternative where your health is not placed...

After a long time, I chose that restaurant to celebrate my birthday. Food was tasty. No complaints Only inconvenience was the server. She was not professional and sarcastic I ordered the lobster menu that comes with lobster tail, shrimps and crab. I was annoyed by her checking my table unnecessarily, making nasty comments such as , do you need more time eating, she even told me, that she doesn't waste time eating like I do as she is at the metropolitan university studying business and working at the same time. She put me down on next occasion stating oh I didn't know you didn't know how to eat crab. I said I know but I like talking and eating, however, my partner is a fast eater. She kept coming and chatting with him. I asked her twice for a glass of water and she kept talking with my guest ignoring my water. She even told me that she's too busy to spend 2 hours in a restaurant like I did. I nicely told her that I was one time doing my degree and working at the same time. And she's not the only one doing it For the third time, I asked water, then she left to get it. But I was very annoyed and humiliated by her nasty comments that I regretted going there. My whole experience was not great. I told my partner and he said he noticed but he could not say anything and he kept talking about university to stop her from her nasty comments to give me me time to eat.

I don't think I will go back there to be humiliated again by that server who was not professional. I've bien to red lobster a lot in the past different locations but first time being humiliated by a server.

This server needs to mind her...
