    Surf & Turf Maine Lobster Tail & Sirloin
    Jay P.

    I took my family there for New Year's Eve. We got seated immediately and our waitress was so nice and had a wonderful smile. I got the surf and turf, which was amazing. The steak was so tasteful to and the lobster is always the best. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Always very clean and a booths are roomy[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is my to go place when I want a great lobster.

    Haven't been to Red Lobster in over 10 years. While browsing at Barnes and Noble nearby, saw the RL and out of curiosity made a reservation for 1 person. Arrived 10 minutes early and ended up waiting about 40 minutes for a table. Ordered 3 maine lobster tails (it is called "Red Lobster" after all), broccoli and fries well done. Lobster was prepared properly, not over done. Broccoli was bitter and starting to yellow and fries were crispy as requested. Complimentary cheese biscuits were warm. 3.5 for food would be more accurate. Service was not good probably because they were understaffed on a Saturday night. [[HIGHLIGHT]]40 degrees out and the AC was on, making the food (and guests) cool quickly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Good effort for a chain restaurant, but definitely better off patronizing a dedicated seafood restaurant nearby. About $90 all in, no drinks.

    12/15/25. Christine was attentive and friendly. I ordered the create your own ultimate feast ($54.99), with lobster tails and shrimp. I'd skip the alfredo next time and ask for less butter. Food arrived hot and relatively quick. Items to go were packed perfectly. I don't frequent RL often but those biscuits hit the spot!

    Well, the place was packed when I arrived. One hour wait list. was after all the holiday. Every bodies, Ma. Granny, Auntie, Cousin, Babies and more on board for Mother day. Service was great, Servers personable and attentive under multi tasking. It took a bit longer for our food to arrive but holiday, no complaints. I ordered the shrimp scampi, which was okay. My diet require that shrimp be cooked at a certain temperature and the manager did accommodate me. The biscuits were under baked however. Strawberry Lemonade. Yum. Had I asked I m sure they would have browned them more. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice friendly family atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Red Lobster told me to tell y'all "don't call it a comeback, I've been here for years"! My daughter chose to come here for her birthday dinner and I honestly wasn't too thrilled but it was her birthday not mine. Shocked to see how busy it was here and service was on point! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It has the regular ambiance of red lobster but no lobsters in the tank.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The biscuits were coming out hot and delicious. Flounder sandwich was plain but the flounder itself was good 8/10. Fries 6/10 Shirley temple 9/10 Mozzarella sticks 7/10

    My family has a tradition of eating at Red lobster on New Year's Eve. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This year, it was a bit quieter, but we were treated so well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have us a booth and no one was sitting in our section. The waiter put music on for us, the food was good, my drink was strong, and we got biscuits to take home. As we were about to leave, my daughters were looking at the lobsters in the tank. A kind person, who I think was a manager, came over and taught us about the bigger claw showing you if the lobster is a lefty or righty. He scooped up a lobster and let us take pictures. It was awesome!

    I've been to this red lobster before. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's spacious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There was not much of a wait time therefore we were seated very quickly. The waitress was quick as well and took out orders exactly as we told her. The food was really good. I went there to get the the Tuesday's special crab legs, which was delicious.

    Been coming to this location for years! Prices have gone up over time and now everything is fried. They have paired down the menu but it's best to go when you're craving a specific item. Staff is always kind and helpful and the restaurant is clean and neat. Reliable spot as long as you are ok with price and food options/taste!

    I'll always prefer this location over Valley Stream. Came for my friend small birthday dinner. Didn't disappoint. Service was prompt and friendly. Food was good, haven't had it in years. Ambience was cool, nothing has changed but the menu prices lol

    I haven't been to red lobster for years but decided to go and take my mother and daughter. My mother went inside and put us on the list the wait was over an hour so we sat in the car and waited. After over an hour of not getting a call I decided to go in and check to see how many tables were ahead of us. When I have the woman at the front desk our info we were no where in the list to be found, I immediately asked to speak to a manager to see what we could do. He was a very nice, kind gentleman who was very apologetic about the situation and looked to fix it immediately. We were given a booth within 5 minutes and we're able to have dinner. To drink my mother got a piña colada which she really enjoyed in at he big cup. I got the margarita. For appetizer we got mozzarella sticks and crispy dragon shrimp the shrimp is slightly spicy so my daughter didn't have much of that but it was good. For entree my mother got two lobster tails with fries, baked potato and broccoli on the side. I got a lobster tail, shrimp scampi and two sides of mash. My daughter got the seaside trio of course she couldn't eat it all but I wanted her have options. Our dinner was alright and our server was pleasant.

We only waited about 5 minutes on a Friday night... surprisingly quick! You can't go to a clam bar without ordering clams!!! Raw Clams: Fresh, large, and served with cocktail sauce and horseradish. Can't go wrong! Baked Clams: A must order! The breading was flavorful, and had the perfect crispy crunch. Mussels in White Wine Sauce: Generous portion with fresh mussels. The white wine sauce was rich, buttery, and perfect for dipping bread. Seafood Salad: My favorite was the calamari. It was perfectly tender with a bouncy texture, not rubbery/chewy. It also came with shrimp, scallops, mussels, and large crunchy croutons. Vincent's Classic Combination: We chose the fried calamari and fried shrimp. The breading was light, crispy, and not oily. The sauce leaned on the sweeter side, even though we requested it spicy. My only complaint is that I wish it came with more linguine. Napoleon: Light, flaky, and not overly sweet. A great way to end the meal. Overall, fresh seafood in generous portions with classic Italian flavors. If you're looking for a solid seafood spot, this one is definitely worth a visit! Highly recommend!

    Wow. What a find…read more First of all, the decor is beautiful: open spaces, super clean with plenty of seating. Service is smart and friendly. Everything we ordered was exceptional. We shared the cold dip sampler (taramasalata, babaganoush, tzatziki) and crispy eggplant and zucchini chips. Highly recommend both...the picky eater at the table (who literally eats no vegetables) couldn't stop eating the chips. Rave reviews of the Alaskan halibut and the pork chop. I had the Rocca avocado salad with grilled chicken. Again-excellent! Dessert? Chocolate mousse and custard - I tasted both and loved each option. The mousse was somehow rich, dark...yet "light" at the same time. The custard was warm and had a thin layer of phyllo dough with a drizzle of honey sauce. We arrived when it wasn't too busy on a week night; I'd recommend reservations on weekends. I'll definitely be back!

The cocktail drinks took a long time to arrive, and they arrived after the appetizers--and were incorrect, so we had to send them back. The main dishes took another hour to be served. I have pictures with timestamps showing the delay, with over an hour between the appetizers and the main courses. During this time, we asked for extra bread and clarification, but the servers seemed unsure and kept pointing at each other, which was frustrating. Later, a manager explained that the delay was due to our ordering moussaka, but if the kitchen was overwhelmed, they could have let us know. We're reasonable guests, but their explanations felt lacking. Overall, the service was quite poor. To make matters worse, they added a 20% gratuity charge--something we usually tip pretty well even though service is too bad to tip. But I don't expect to tip 20% to this horrible service. We really enjoy the food here, but unfortunately, due to the experience, we don't think we'll be returning.

Portions are generous, the cocktails (like mojitos and sangria) are excellent, and the lively atmosphere makes it a great spot for both casual dining and celebrations. They offer rich, comforting, and authentic Cuban flavors. Diners love the slow-roasted pork (pernil) and Ropa Vieja, which melt in your mouth. If you want something lighter, the Cubano sandwich on Long Island is frequently cited as a destination-worthy staple. The space feels warm and family-run, as what I may describe as stepping into an "abuela's house". The staff is highly attentive and offers great menu recommendations. It tends to get packed--especially on weekend evenings--but the lively vibe (including staff-led birthday songs) adds to the charm. I note that the pricing is moderate and reasonable for the high quality and generous portion sizes, frequently allowing diners to take home leftovers.

They were very busy and yet the food came out in great time and everything was delicious. The stuffed mushrooms were my favorite thing of the night. All the food was excellent, including the desserts. It was my father's birthday and he had a great time. Our server was so friendly with my kids, even talking to them about Minecraft - which they were obviously elated about. I apologize for forgetting his name but my son wants me to let the owners know that he was the nicest "restaurant person" ever. My only real complaint is that the tables are all very cramped together. It seems like they've added tables since the last time my family was there in order to accommodate a bigger influx of patrons. However it feels very tight and our table was in an awkward place (sticking out in front of the French doors that lead into the other room). Other than that the atmosphere is very welcoming, all the floor staff were nice, we had a great time and left very full!
