Took my parents to red lobster to celebrate my dad’s birthday. We had a great experience. The food was great. Good portions & well seasoned. I had the lobster, salmon & shrimp meal & definitely enjoyed it. Our server Rob was so great! He was attentive & addressed whatever requests we had. He even helped my mom pick the best option for her meal. I was definitely pleased with the meal & service! We’ll definitely be back!
