Red Lobster - Danbury

One star for the dragon and coconut shrimp (and biscuits) and one for our server who I believe was named Paul. He was great, charismatic and informative. Very friendly. One star off for the hair in my drink that I still had to pay for, another for the dirty glasses and a third for the fact that the lobster and shrimp tacos came only with shrimp. We love Red Lobster and really wanted to enjoy it, but this experience was just not it. The side Caesar salad was soggy and had a bit of brown lettuce and the coleslaw didn't taste like much either. It felt like it was missing seasoning. The biscuits were great, but I think I would have got up and left if they weren't. The lobster and shrimp tacos were good, but would have been nice if they actually came with lobster. My sunset colada was great, but there was a hair in it which was gross and then the mango gunk settled into the drink and it just tasted like fake mango flavoring. I guess I would have done better with just a piña colada. We arrived at 9 pm and it was still super busy. Music was chill and eventually we were the last to leave, but that was less on us and more on how long everything took. Even the drinks took forever to come out. Overall bummed that this wasn't a great experience.

I give only 4 stars because we did have to wait sometime to be sat as the place was empty. However after that we had a great time with our server Eldridge. He was attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. We laughed and had a great time with him. Food was great!

Ambiance- typical of any chain restaurant. Super busy. Darker vibes here than let's say Olive Garden. Service- 1. We waited 20-25 minutes for our waiter/waitress to arrive. 2. When our waiter did come, he was incredible. We were not upset at him at all. It seems more of a communication issue between staff. Greg ended up being our server and we were incredible impressed by his attentiveness and knowledge. Great job for him! Food- we came for the carb stuffed shrimp rangoons. We were very disappointed in that. We also didn't love the bay scallops. They were very much over cooked. However, the rest of the food was delicious. I loved the coconut shrimp and the Alfredo.

Stopped by close to closing the other night luckily for me they were still serving. Staff was friendly, service was good. I had a couple of appetizers as I didn't want to delay the restaurant's closing time. The food was delish!

The food, drinks and service we great! This was our first time there and we weren't sure what to expect, but we had a great time and will definitely go back again soon!
