    The food was excellent, even the non seafood choice. Portions are good. We were a group of 11 and the service was friendly and excellent. Overall we were very happy.

    Thankful to still have Red Lobster! It's probably been over 20 years since my last visit, glad the biscuits and island shrimp are still delicious! Glad for the large portions and big variety so I could share the experience with my family. Would love to see a modernized restaurant.
