    The reservation process was a breeze, walked in and was greeted and seated promptly. The server, Mike B. was attentive and courteous, I even made mention to the manager upon leaving that he was outstanding. The dinner was exquisite, mouthwatering good. This is one of our favorite dining spots. Thank you for the Valentine's Day dinner. Best part, I didn't have to do the dishes. It was a bit drafty sitting so close to the door...

    Food was amazing! The beer cheese bisque is probably the best I've ever had. I had the salmon which was cooked perfectly and so tasty. My husband had the ribs and loved them as well, came with all the fixens-coleslaw, beans, mac n cheese and a corn bread muffin. I had the Packers punch which was a very tasty drink. Overall 5 stars.

    We had a great dining experience. Our server, Noah, did a great job and the food was delicious. We chose the special Valentine’s Day Menu. Steak was done perfectly and very flavorful. And we never felt rushed, even though the restaurant was very busy.

    My mother and I dined here on Easter and we had a most magnificent time! Our server Marty was wonderful, caring, and humorous. Thank you for his service. I noticed that this Red Lobster could use a makeover. The carpet looks worn and dirty, and the bench we were sitting had torn fabric. Also, the dust on the ledges was quite noticeable.
