Editorial Review for Red Lobster – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
Live lobsters wriggle in a tank inside this seafood emporium, where nautical-patterned booths and colorful, fish-shaped tables in the bar area add subdued touches of whimsy to the room's classy dark wood accents. The menu can be downright decadent, with starters of artichoke lobster dip, seafood fondue, and crab-stuffed mushrooms. Entrees feature lighter, grilled fare like mahi-mahi and North Atlantic sea scallops, along with signature lobster dishes, snow crab legs, and jumbo fried shrimp platters.

My wife, daughter and her friend, and I decided to go out to the Red Lobster located on Almaden Expressway in San Jose, CA. The wait was about 20 minutes before we got seated. We had ordered our drinks and the waitress was nice. She brought out some bread but there were no plates. I waited for a while but our waitress was too clueless to notice so I grabbed some plates off a vacant nearby table. We received our appetizers but there was no silverware on the table. Again, I waited for the waitress and there was no sign of her so I grabbed the utensils off of the same table I got the plates. She did ask if I needed another beer as soon as I put the empty glass down. I gave her points for that one but they were soon lost as I asked for another beer when dinner was served and it never ended up on our table.

Pros: Food

Cons: Service
