Great service, excellent food. The drinks were well mixed with a god balance. Waiting to see if they do more signature cocktails, maybe something to play off the smoky flavors of the barbecue like scotch or mezcal. Definitely a good date spot. Garbage Fries and Barbecutrie Board are real winners.

It’s always a great experience eating at Red Lobster. The prices increased quite a bit and the advertisement states the average plate is below $30 but this is not the case. In any case, the food and service is excellent!
