    Angie was our waitress. She was fast, polite, helpful & friendly. All food smelled great & came out hot & fresh! Alcohol beverages were delicious, especially the old fashion! Lights were dim & music was lovely. No room for desserts, lol

    Meh... We were given a gift certificate to Red Lobster so I figured that I'd knock out a quick review... Boy oh boy has Red Lobster gone down hill over the years. I remember the days when a family of 5 could go for less than $100 (including the tip). Fast forward to today and it cost $95 w/ tip for two people (no appetizers and no drinks)... No wonder the place has torpedoed like Joe Biden tanking the US economy. $95 for frozen seafood is downright ridiculous and the very definition of "customer price gouging." While the food itself was ok (of course, the cheddar bay biscuits were still the best thing served), I can't come to grips with paying this kind of $ for frozen seafood. Couple this with the restaurant being older, rundown, and had a weird smell (a mix between fish and dog food), Red Lobster has completely lost its luster IMO - Needless to say, will not be back. On a positive note, our service was great... I don't remember her name, but the black lady that was working the bar area was super friendly and running around all night working her tail off.

    The service was really good. The waitress checked on us pretty quick and was glad cause all the apps were cold. My Coconut shrimp were hot. My Husbands Crab legs and Lobster tail were hot enough that they were not tough n chewy. The Lobster Mac n cheese he said were good after heating them up with the Brussel Sprouts...they were the scorched blackened kind with I believed had balsamic vinegar on them. They of course were sent back with mashed tato, Mac n cheese, n French fries. Yeah, pretty much almost everything. Loved their biscuits. Haven't been here in years and for over $100 it should have been better. They weren't busy. Maybe 5-6 tables. Should have been better food quality for the price. Will think harder if we ever decide to go again. But thank you waitress for the service.

    Last Sunday evening my sons invited me to dinner here. It was quite the experience. There was a noticeable smell, and clearly it wasn't food. It was almost as if the carpets hadn't been cleaned. I was told bar seating wasn't available, although I could clearly see patrons there. My dinner companions chose the regular menu items, I requested the lobster queso. What I received was the lobster flat bread. I never complained, I tried a piece and left the rest on the table. Obviously, my sever placed the order wrong. Adding my complaint wouldn't fix what they had going wrong. My sons didn't enjoy their meals either. We waited 25 minutes for our server to return to pay the check. I told my sons, you all can do what you want, what you can't do is invite me back here again. I've told them before, but this time it's set in stone. I see why the corporation is in trouble. The lack of attention to detail, the decaying restaurant condition, they have several things working against them, in tandem.

    Zero effort on the presentation.

    Yikes! The quality of the food at Red Lobster is abysmal. Neither my husband nor myself had visited a Red Lobster in decades, and decided to pop in for dinner. Seated quickly, server took our orders in a timely manner, biscuits were perfect. The positive ends there. I ordered the Surf & Turf; the steak was over salted and extremely tough (ordered medium rare, even), and the lobster tail was rubbery and flavorless. Zero attempt to stuff the meat back into the tail for a proper presentation. Had to ask for one of my sides that didn't arrive with my meal. Husband ordered the snow crab legs, and the meat was stringy and next to impossible to remove from the legs. He couldn't even get enough of a bite to dip into the butter. I didn't make it through half of anything I ordered, and definitely didn't take any of it home. Fully disappointing. Now I know why we haven't been in so long, and why we won't be back.

    Strawberry Cheesecake

    We went to use some digital coupons that ended up getting us 10% off and a free dessert. Strawberry cheesecake was heavenly, and the shrimp combo was delicious! Don't recommend the flounder-bland.

    We ate here the Monday night before Christmas, party of 8. We walked through the kitchen to get to…read moreour table, which was in a cozy little room with only one other table. Service was great! We had BBQ shrimp, crab cakes and hush puppies for apps. They were all tasty. Filet mignon was tender and flavorful. That, with the potatoes and greens that came with it, were on the heavy/rich end of the spectrum, so if you don't like that you might want to sub a baked potato. People also liked the salmon with risotto and the cranberry chicken. My husband did not like the seafood pasta. Nice, cozy atmosphere, good service and food.

    The Oyster Bar - 130 years of history for this iconic seafood establishment…read more The Oyster Bar is not for everyone. It is expensive. The restaurant only holds about 50 dinners and the tables are uncomfortably small & close together. It's also located in a neighborhood that might make some people take caution. On the flip side...The Oyster Bar offers 130 years of history in a uniquely older facility that features fresh high quality seafood along with outstanding service. You decide what you value and how you want to spend your dinning dollars. The Oyster Bar is located south of downtown area on Calhoun Street. The vintage building is well signed, lighted and offers an easy-in-easy-out side parking lot. The restaurant only holds about 50 dinners with a limited number of tables and a small bar. I would suggest that you call and make a reservation as The Oyster Bar is a fairly popular place to dine. Inside the building has retained the historic look. The foyer is very small...just like walking into an old house. They feature lots of dark hardwoods and a vintage looking bar. The tables are located very close together as you would expect in a small area. I think the tables are smaller in size as it was difficult to accommodate all the dishes, menus, glasses and cell phones. The white table linens and attractive "sea going" decor help set the experience. The staff on this night was very friendly, professional and helpful. They made us feel welcomed quickly. The waitress was great about removing dishes, refills and stopping to check on us. It's easier when all your tables are close together. Overall the food was excellent. Fresh seafood in Fort Wayne isn't common place. The food creations were delicious & creative without being all that unique. You will find a fairly broad menu to meet most dinner's choices. Here is a run down on the items we ordered: -Calm Chowder: very creamy without being overly rich to taste; moderately thick in consistency with a mild clam flavor; several larger pieces of clam meat; very good taste -Oysters on the half shell: beautiful presentation; oysters were fresh taste; no salty or "sea" tastes/smells; a small dab of sweet cocktail sauce and ground horseradish were nice add; oysters were outstanding!! -Fried Hushpuppies: no corn meal breading here. The outside was lightly fried and slightly oily to taste. The inside was slightly sweet, soft and moist. The chipotle aioli sauce has a very mild southwestern flavor that accented the sweet breading. -Crab Cakes: two fairly large cakes packed with real crab meat; gently fried; the fresh seafood flavors come through nicely; another very good dish! -Seafood Au Gratin: plenty of chunks of scallops and crab buried in a delicious lobster cream sauce and layer of mozzarella cheese. The sauce was creamy and mild without being rich. The seafood pieces retained their original flavor. The cheese topping was nice and gooey which held the seafood & sauce together nicely. Delicious dish!! -Diver Scallops: large and plump scallops cooked perfectly; very tender and moist without a "fishy" taste - nicely done!! I very much enjoyed the dinning experience. I love restaurants that retain and feature an older buildings character. I appreciate high levels of service and outstandingly delicious food. Especially when it comes to fresh seafood!!

    Big Eyed Fish on Wells Street - when you have a craving for Fish & Stroh style fish and tarter…read moresauce Yes, I know that I could go to Stroh to get this old time flavor. However, Big Eyed Fish is pretty good fish in its own right, local...and flavored like the taste I remember from the past. We visited the Big Eyed Fish location on Well's street. They have an express shop located on Huegenard Road and another dine in location at Leo Crossing. This location has been in service since 2003. It has a nice diner feel with super friendly service. You can find parking on the street or in the lot behind the store. The inside is rather large and works well for parties up to about 8 diners. There is a small bar and TV's if that is your thing. They also have a big and varied menu including breakfast items. Here is a run down of the food items: -Fried Fish: the white fish fillet is thin and fried with a thin breading. The fish is moist and tender. It will flake apart with a fork or by hand. The breading has a slight amount of seasoning and isn't very oily to taste. It has a taste similar to the Fish & Stroh style if you are familiar with that. The fillets are not very filling. For an extra $3...I went with the all you can eat option. Delicious fish! -Tarter Sauce: I love tarter sauce. In fact I might order fish to go with my tarter sauce - lol. This mayo based sauce is reasonably thick, somewhat sweet and has a hint of pickle flavoring. It's creamy and makes a perfect complement to the fried fish flavor. -Baked Beans: this side really surprised me. The bean is small and contained hamburger pieces. The sauce had a slight BBQ flavor but not enough to classify it as a BBQ baked bean dish. The meat flavor was a nice add to the smooth tomato spiced sauce. Delicious!! -Cole Slaw: I kind of use KFC as the standard for Cole Slaw. This is very similar. The slaw pieces are cut very small with only one kind of slaw. Seemingly no additives - just slaw. The sauce is mayo based, a bit more sweet along with a hint of vinegar. I loved this side too! -Hush Puppies: these balls are pretty small in diameter. The inside is very modista and sweet with that southern style corn bread taste. The outside is thicker, a bit oily to taste and has a mild corn bread taste/texture. These are probably some of the best hush puppies I've had in my southern raised life.

    So good since we've lost Famous Fish of Stroh this is easily the best fish in town! Always good…read moreand the onion rings
