Red Lobster in Oklahoma, where I'm from, is one of my favorite places, but this experience didn’t come close to that quality. The salads had large pieces of romaine spine with very few actual leaves, and the dressing was just okay. The baked potato was on the small side but tasted fine. However, the shrimp was undercooked, and the breading was doughy. Our server handled the situation well and offered to replace it, suggesting we request extra crispy next time. Unfortunately, there was nothing crispy about it when it arrived, so asking for extra crispy shouldn’t even have been necessary—how about just making sure the breading isn’t doughy in the first place?

Upon entering, we were immediately hit with an unpleasant odor near the host station. Initially, I thought it might be from someone in front of me, but I realized the smell lingered even after I left. The odor was quite off-putting. I ordered the fish and chips, which unfortunately did not meet expectations. The fish was served cold and greasy, and the batter was excessively thick. The fries were bland and unseasoned, and the coleslaw tasted like it was past its prime—one small bite was enough for us to leave it untouched. On a bright side, the ice water and ketchup were surprisingly decent. However, the service was slow and lacking, even though the restaurant was mostly empty. Overall, I don't think I'll be returning.

It was also my first experience with lobster and scallops, and I can confidently say everything was excellent—the food, the staff, and the cleanliness. As a special touch, our waitress surprised us with a complimentary Chocolate Wave dessert to help celebrate our anniversary. It was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant!

We were seated well before the table next to us and served well after, they had a different server. We werealso told we would have to go to the bar to get a to go order. The manager corrected this also. I'm sure corrections will bemade. I will still continue to eat there. That waitress will surely learn to do better or move on.
