   Food was very good. Bar was a little backed up on Valentine’s Day so we didn’t receive our drinks until almost the end of our meal. Highly recommend making a appointment on open table for holidays or anytime. Our wait was 15 minutes for a table because we were that early for our reservation other folks walking in were waiting 75 to 90 minutes.

   The service was incredible. The staff were all very kind and polite. However, it was fairly busy and everything was slow. After being seated, it took around 20 minutes to get our drinks (and 50 minutes to get our food). Luckily I wasn’t hungry or thirsty. The server was apologetic and very extremely sweet which made it all great regardless.

   I believe the wait staff was shorthanded. It took us a long time to get everything. Especially the bill which seem to be due to the managers slow reaction to giving us a military discount.

   Food was pretty good. I had to wait a little while upon requesting more seasoning, but once it arrived, my meal was fine.

   Red Lobster's prices have gone up up up and RL Waldorf's standards have gone way way down! The host thinks it perfectly fine to seat customers in filth - table and booths clearly visibly covered in salt and pepper, bread plates on the table that you're supposed to use have not been washed since being used by the last customers, and food and trash clearly visible under the table - your server thinks it perfectly fine to barely ever visit your table (so you need to repeatedly reach out to other servers for assistance and go to the bar yourself to get food, condiments, napkins, and utensils), and the manager supports all this! In fact, when we asked the manager why our server never comes to the table she replied - with a very annoyed look on her face - that our server was very busy and our table was not in his section. Well, if that's the case why did the host sit us at this table in the first place?!!! This Red Lobster has problems, and filthy seating, bad service, and dirty plates are the least of it.

   The food seemed rushed and it was not tasty at all. The crab legs, lobster tail and shrimp skewers were definitely not tasteful.

    The service was great! We put our name on the waiting list before we arrived and were seating almost immediately.
