Red Lobster

I was invited to come and eat for a special occasion since it seems that the business all over the U.S.
is going down.
Anyways, we got a feast for all of us and a few drinks.
The food was actually pretty good, but the rice was a little undercooked, other than that.
The shrimp, salmon, lobster, and sides were all good in taste and visual appeal.
It's not something that we will go often, but it's still a good place to get some seafood in your diet every now and then.

The service was really good, our server told us he was new and he did really great! However, I was not impressed with the food.
I got a combo plate with lobster, salmon, and a shrimp skewer.
The lobster was kinda chewy and tough, and so was the shrimp.
The salmon was ok but overcooked.
Everything tasted a little off like it wasn't fresh.
I would expect a place that serves mainly seafood would have a constant supply of fresh seafood but it sure didn't seem like it.
The salmon I recently got from Costco and cooked at home was much fresher and tastier than this one.
It's not that the food was awful, we actually really enjoyed the lobster dip appetizer, but the price we paid for the meal was really expensive for the quality that we got.
I don't think I'll be coming back here.

I had the Friday fish and chips, and my girlfriend got the unlimited clam chowder, salad, biscuits deal only available at lunch.
These are cheaper meals, but I found them to both be tasty.
While I was not particularly disappointed due to the cheaper price, I would not exactly go out of my way for either of these meals.
The fish and chips at the nearby London Fish and Chips shop is a much better tasting meal at the same price point and the chowder was rather bland.
I have honestly made much better at home with canned clams.
Also, if I were to compare to their sister franchise, olive garden, I would much prefer to have their soup, salad, bread lunch deal.
