Had a business dinner here. Arrived 30 mins late and they didn’t bat an eye. Out server told us right up front he was new but would get us an answer we needed if didn’t know. The pork cheeks and the fried green tomatoes were both exceptional. Each of us had a different entree; pork chop, lamb shank and grouper special and every plate was empty. My gutsy visit there and not my last. All prices were more than fair. Highly recommend.

This is our second year with the igloo experience. It is after Christmas so not as fun and festive outside in the igloos and I wish ours had been decorated with more festive lights (white lights with a little gold beads. Other igloos had multi color lights. The serve was good and the drinks too. They ran out of all their red wines!!!

Mary was our waitress and she took very good care of us for our anniversary. She is very knowledgeable in several stations at Red Lobster. She fixed our drinks from the bar when we arrived. Then she chipped in and waited on our table. She checked on us several times and helped me with the portal when checking out our Bill. She made us feel special and was a fabulous waitress. Food was cooked to our liking and we would definitely go back.
