I really enjoy going to Red Lobster when I have the chance to. A very good friend asked me to lunch today and suggested we come here so I was looking forward to our visit. Although the restaurant was empty and there were maybe 3 tables and a few people at the bar, it took a few minutes for us to be seated by a manager. The first table we were offered was dirty so we were offered a second table. The seat I went to sit in was dirty, so I moved into another seat. The manager was nice enough to clean the original seat for us after we sat down. Our server, Ariela, came over after a few minutes and took our drink orders. She came back with our drinks and some bisquits. We had asked her to give us a few moments to look at the menu as we were catching up chatting. Although the biscuits were hot, they tasted as if they had been reheated in a microwave. Our appetizer came out, and we shared it between us. It was quite tasty and just what we expected. Ariel brought our some fresh biscuits for us. A few moments went by, and my tea cup was empty. I'm not sure where she was, but I could have used a refill about three times. I'm not sure if she was the only server, so I took a few sips of my friends water. She finally came over with a refill and took out an order. I ordered the live maine lobster with broccoli and mashed potatoes, and my friend ordered the fish and chips. I had asked if they could take the meat out of my lobster in the kitchen as I would not be able to do it on my own, and it would just save time. We munched on our appetizer a little longer, and our biscuits. Our lunch order finally came out. My friends' fish and chips looked amazing. I couldn't wait to get my lobster. I was so hungry. I was so extremely disappointed. She brought put a plate with the shell in case I wanted to pick at whatever meat was left over( there was not one piece of meat in there) As the plate of lobster was put in front of me, I was waiting to see where the rest of it was. On the plate I saw what looked like maybe half a claw, a tail the size of a crayfish, and some scraps of lobster meat. Ariela stated it was the easiest lobster she has ever shelled. I was so hungry, I didn't say anything and just wanted to eat whatever was brought out. I figured at least the mashed potatoes and the broccoli would be filling. Well I was wrong there too. The broccoli was extremely salty, the mashed potatoes were pasty and had no flavor. At least I had the biscuits and the appetizer had given me something. For what my friend paid for my meal I was hoping for something a little more filling, much more lobster than a crayfish and more flavor. What once was one of my favorite restaurants to eat at and enjoy one of my favorite foods. Disappointed me greatly today.
