Never been to the Red Lobster. We received gift cards in 2012 and never used them until 2014. I am a seafood lover and my other half loves beef. It was a toss up between Red Lobster and Longhorn. Obviously I won. Called the night before and spoke with Brittney who was extremely personable and knowledgable about the menu and said , "I'll be looking forward to seeing you tomorrow". We came in the next day on Saturday February 8 , 2014 about 2:00 p.m. and were greeted by Mellisa our server who then took her time in helping us with the menu and showing us the different options we could make in our choices. Thanks to the chefs in the back of the house because the lobster delight and the mixed appetizer with the coconut shrimp, stuffed mushroom caps and shrimp cocktail were wonderful and thanks to the front of the house for making us feel welcomed and not a pain in your butt's. That is hard to find these days. We will be back. Thanks again for a great dinning experience. Beth Anne
