I still enjoy Red Lobster. Over the years, fancier places have popped up, but It was a treat to get…read moreit when I was growing up, and I still like it. Every so often, I crave those Walts shrimp and a cheddar bay biscuit. My sister and I stopped in to the Fredericksburg location for lunch today, and they did not disappoint. I got the shrimp scampi, fried shrimp, salmon, and main lobster tail. Everything was prepared well. The food was tasty, and the service was fast. The restaurant is a good size and looks decent inside. 4 Stars

The service at this location is terrible. We were seated at a table that could only be described as…read more"who's on first?" Seated without silverware or even napkins. We waited for about 20 minutes before a server took pity on us and asked if anyone had been to help us. 15 minutes later we had drinks and biscuits--still no silverware, no napkins, no appetizer plates. I asked to speak to the manager. I expressed my concerns. The food was mediocre at best. Salads came after the meal; had I known iceberg lettuce would be presented as a Caesar salad, I would not have ordered it. I had to ask for the butter and lemon which should have accompanied the Ultimate Feast meal. The whole dining experience was very very disappointing, especially since the CEO has been all over TV touting a new experience. I would have appreciated a good experience--not this.

I went with a friend to eat on Memorial Day around 5:15pm. The restaurant was not crowded and we…read morewere sat quickly. Our server was very nice and took our drink order and directed us to the buffet which looked well stocked. After a salad I went to get some roast cut but no one was manning the station. Once the young woman appeared I asked for her help and she told me to hold on I will be there in a minute (ok). After a moment she came a cut off a hunk of meat that had obviously been sitting and was so dried out that it had changed color so I asked for a different cut that was fresh so she cut on the same side but a different location that was also dried out and discolored. I asked for a slice that was fresh and she threw down the knife and walked away, came back with a different knife, cut a huge chunk and when I said that's fine she threw down the tongs and it told me to take whichever piece I wanted and walked away in a huff. Other customer standing there commented about her attitude and said they were afraid to ask her to cut them some ham which also looked pretty dried up because they didn't want to put up with her attitude. I gave this a three star because everyone else I interacted with at the restaurant was pretty nice and the food was edible but if I was going solely off of her and her behavior, I would not recommend anyone going there to eat if you want to have a pleasant experience

Our visit to Bonefish was on a Wednesday evening at around 6pm. While we did make an online…read morereservation, it really wasn't necessary, as there were only a few people in the restaurant. We were seated in a comfortable booth right away, but waited several minutes before our server arrived. That aside, the rest of our experience was great. We had the Bang Bang shrimp appetizer, which was on special that Wednesday and each had side salads. Both the Caesar and House side salads were of good proportion, fresh, and tasty. A hot loaf of fresh bread, along with the pesto, was an excellent accompaniment. The shrimp appetizer was plenty for two people. It was cooked to perfection, supplemented with a delicious bang bang sauce, with just the right amount of spice. Overall, an excellent evening meal, satisfying our appetite, even without a main. The ambiance was nice and quiet, too.

We visited the Fredericksburg Bonefish Grill after not having been there in 10-12 years and craving…read moreseafood. Unfortunately, it was underwhelming and disappointing. Our initial welcome was uninviting, with both the hostess and what appeared to be the manager were less than friendly. There was clear confusion about seating despite the restaurant being fairly empty. We were first placed near the restroom, then moved to a table directly in front of the entrance where it was cold, even though better tables were available. Service Fortunately, our server, Marianne (who was also bartending that evening), was excellent, friendly, attentive, and genuinely hospitable. She helped improve an otherwise disappointing start to the evening. She saved this from being a completely negative review. Food The food did not meet expectations. The Imperial Dip was overcooked and stuck to the bowl, the mahi mahi was overcooked and small in portion, and while my steak and lobster were cooked properly, the dish lacked flavor and I relied on salt and pepper for flavor. However, the warm butter heater for the lobster was a nice touch. The fish and chips and macaroni and cheese for our kids were also just ok. Value With a nearly $180 bill (including a few drinks), the overall experience felt disappointing for the price. Final Thoughts I might consider returning, but only with hopes for a much friendlier welcome, the same great server and service, and sticking to safer menu options. For the price point, there may be better dining options available downtown.

I mentioned this to the managing partner who checked in on us. Despite a packed house on Mothers Day, the restaurant was well staffed and ran pleasantly and efficiently. (We had the best server who said, "you're my favorite customers all night!" And I think she meant it.) Dinner was what I've come to expect from Carrabba's: really good! Per usual I ordered chicken Marsala with extra mushrooms, and angel hair pasta with garlic and olive oil. Wine has gone up a bit in price, but cab still comes in at less than $40 a bottle.
