    The ultimate feast !!!
    Missy D.

    I always go to this location at red lobster. The food is always fresh and delicious. There's no red lobster where I live so I always cross the bridge to Jersey to get here. I try to come once a month. I always get the ultimate feast. It's so good

    The food wasn't bad--Cajun-flavored crabs were actually quite good, and our server was friendly and did a great job. However, we came specifically for the crab fest, and they had no crab crackers available. It was incredibly frustrating trying to eat crabs without the proper utensils. To be fair, our server did let us know in advance, but it's disappointing that a restaurant promoting a crab fest wouldn't be properly equipped for it. That's a management issue--one that reflects poorly on the chain and could very well put them on the same path as TGIF if basic details like this continue to be overlooked.

    The server was very good but this bogo even with a bogo is not really worth $20. Well if you did stuff yo face shrinks it's priced about $25 let say so anyway. Yeah this is what it is. The server was good; attentive and gave me a lot of lemons on my water yoooo. Super nice and friendly server. But the portion for this bogo is not super great.

    Endless Shrimp
    Krystal L.

    Came to try the $22 endless shrimp. They should rename it to endless wait. It's ACYE shrimp 7 ways. Pick 3 for the first round, and then pick 1 every round after. The first round also comes with a side. They unfortunately ran out of the "Dragon Shrimp" today. The food itself was good, but we had to wait 20-30 minutes between rounds because the kitchen was so dang slow. The dinner ended up taking 2.5 hours. Ya girl was falling asleep. Our server acknowledged the long wait, but didn't offer anything to make up for it. An extra side would have been a nice gesture. SIDE NOTE: I'm annoyed that the server didn't tell us that the skewers come with rice each time you order it. When she asked us what side we wanted for round 1, she should've let us know that we were already getting rice. That way, we can pick a different side. It's the little things, you know?

    There's nothing I appreciate more than exceptional customer service. Mary is the best. She's attentive, has a fantastic balance of knowing when we need something and when we wanna relax and eat and as a smile that lights up the room if you're having a bad day go to Red Lobster and ask for Mary.

    We* Love Red Lobster PERIODT We go to Red Lobster because it's Red Lobster We will not let her go !! Food quality and service are like waves in the ocean or phases of the moon ( they wax and wane ) sometimes it's great ; sometimes it's not ( so what). It's a relationship ! Our customer/server relationship with RL transcends any one restaurant visit or period of time. Would you send your dog to the pound just because he/she was in a slump ? NO! You would give her more attention, play more frequently, and offer him a balanced diet consisting of diverse grains and butcher selected meats - Thanking her consistently for her service and presence. We must also show attention and gratitude to RL who has always been there for us ( Sunday afternoons-post church , following a special event , or just because! ) RL offers a classy seafood dining experience that is within reach for the average 21st century North American budget. If you don't like it, stay home and eat peanut butter and jelly, but if you enjoy dining on fine Langostinos, I'll see you at your Neighborhood RL ( if your neighborhood does not have a RL , FIND ANOTHER NEIGHBORHOOD) * We = landlubbers

    I get that it's Red Lobster, but they could step it up better. Gross menu, gross margarita. The rest of the food was typical mediocre Red Lobster. I will say our server was nice and attentive. Ambiance was not clean feeling.

    Garlic sauce from the shrimp scampi
    Tunisia S.

    I've been to this red lobsters plenty of times in my life. Always have had a pleasant experience. During this trip I had a taste for the garlic sauce they cook the shrimp scamp in but I also wanted Alfredo pasta. So, I ordered the grilled chicken(or it may have been Cajun chicken) and linguini in a cream/Alfredo sauce. I asked for a side of the garlic sauce that the scampi is cooked in and the Waite said she'd see if she could get it and didn't think it would be an issue. Well, she got it and it gave the food such a nice kick! I loved it! A nice size portion along with a side of broccoli and biscuits. My biscuits were nice and warm. And the strawberry lemonade I ordered hit the spot. Go here! This is one of the good Red Lobsters.

    Service!!!!! The service here was aaaaaamazing. Ask for Dijon, like the Provence in France:) lol. he was amazing. Very attentive. Food was delicious per usual. I had my fav the ultimate feast. They really need to change the fried shrimp though to something else. Or mix it up a bit. Place smelled a bit like chloroform but in covid times that's maybe a great thing because you know theyre cleannnn!!! Lol. No bad things to say here. Great service. Great food. Good vibes.

    Classic place to have memorable moments. Celebrating a bday tonight. Ted lobster never disappoints

    I had a couple of coupons to use so figured I would get dinner. When I arrived I parked in the lot. I walked in and was greeted and decided to sit at the bar. Taquasia was my bartender and she was nice and attentive and I started with a drink of red sangria which I was not a fan of so went with the pinot nior instead. I ordered 2 appetizers of the crab stuffed shrimp and mussels which I had free coupons for. When the food came out it looked good. I dug in and wasn't a fan for the stuffed shrimp but the mussels weren't bad. I had a decent experience.

    Shrimp Your Way I ordered the 3: popcorn shrimp, scampi and grilled shrimp on a bed of rice and a baked potato and a water with extra lemon

There was no wait time when we got there and were able to be seated immediately. There were a mix of families as well as couples seated throughout the dining area. It wasn't too busy but also felt crowded sitting so close to a large party. The menu is pretty straightforward with a variety of food dishes. I ordered the beef and ginger potstickers as an appetizer and the rainbow trout with mashed potatoes and broccoli for my entree. I was offered different sauce options for the trout even though the menu only listed lemon butter, so I already had my mind prepared for that. I didn't expect the sauce to be served on the side, and because it was, it made the trout look extremely dry. After tasting, it was indeed dry. The broccoli was just plain broccoli, nothing special to report. The potstickers wrapping was harder than I expected, like a hard shell; however, the overall flavor profile was not horrible. I guess I shouldn't have assumed the potstickers were going to be boiled or steamed with a soft texture. The beer tap was completely empty. There were absolutely no draft beers on this Saturday evening, so I ordered the dragonfruit margarita which was actually very good. Highlight of our visit was being greeted by the manager, Vanessa, near the entrance. She also stopped by our table to ensure our needs were met.

We came as walk-ins on a Saturday night and were able to get a table for two right away. They offer your traditional Colombian cuisine along with a full bar and bakery. The digital menus provide descriptions in English and have photos of every item, so don't worry if you can't speak Spanish. The atmosphere is incredibly lively, so it's perfect for celebrations. They have a DJ that pumps out some great Latin tunes! You can tell everyone (including the servers) are having a great time. Definitely not the place for an intimate conversation, so come earlier if you want to avoid a lot of noise. We ordered... *Pechuga A La Colombiana $18.95 - My entrée was grilled chicken breast topped with creamy mushroom sauce and maduros (sweet plantains). It came with the option of two sides, so I chose tostones (fried plantains) and arroz blanco (white rice). First of all, the portion size was HUGE... enough to be split into two meals!!! The chicken was seasoned with cumin, scallions, onion, and more. The tenderness of the chicken and the richness of the sauce paired so well together. The tostones were deep fried to perfection with a crispy and salty exterior. The white rice was fluffy and cooked with oil, salt, and garlic, which complemented the entire meal. *Bistec A Caballo $17.95 - A hearty dish! This was grilled steak topped with fried eggs, served in hogao (tomato and onion sauce). The steak was juicy, tender, and well marinated in a blend of spices. The hogao sauce was tangy, savory, and rich. We also got a side of frijoles (beans), which were really good. *Frozen Mango Margarita ~$15 - The drink was sweet and refreshing as expected, but the tequila was weak. It could've used another shot.... Or two. Noches has won me over with their great prices and generous portion sizes! It's now my go-to spot when I'm craving a satisfying Colombian meal.

If this is upscale dining by Darden, they've gone downhill and are very, very far from what Capital Grille offers. To make this review short and sweet my wife, brother-in-law and daughter came in around 8:00 p.m. for a couple drinks and a snack. After finally realizing something is terribly wrong here, I spoke to the GM, Chris, and told him what was going on. We hadn't received water an hour into our experience, we were never even offered any bread. I'm sitting here a steak and butter knife drinking a glass of Caymus and feeling like I am being ignored in the ghetto. The runner, Jessica, as pleasant as she was, was forced to drop our food on an extremely cluttered and disorganized table with empty glasses from the first round. There was zero attentiveness on the part of anyone for our entire experience. After speaking to Chris, we were finally brought some glasses of water and what I remember to be possibly pita bread or flatbread with rock hard butter. Towards the conclusion they offered us some tiny desserts on the house, which we politely declined. Nothing was discounted, there were no apologies. Such a beautiful place with a welcoming atmosphere to be thrown to the wolves like this. After working for Darden in the Chrysler building, I know this does not uphold their standards or what the managing partner would expect out of their staff.
