   Service and food very good. My grandson had the Crablegs, my wife lobster and shrimp linguine. I enjoyed the scallops wrapped in bacon.

   The biscuits are to die for as usual. The service was amazing. The steak was horrible and way overcooked. Super dry and tough. Do not recommend any steak options.

   The best seafood restaurant in all of Calgary! The snow crab is so perfectly flavourful and fresh along with great variety in the menu. I remember eating those crabs legs since I was like 7 and I have always loved them since. The staff is also super friendly and kind as well. I also recommend the lobster mashed potatoes for a side. Overall, if u are a lobster fan come to red lobster as u won’t be disappointed

   I really wanted to like it. Red Lobster is part of my growing up yrs. After 30yrs+ I returned to RL with my family. I had been telling them how I grew up with RL (with Ponderosa, The Keg, Taco Bell) so they were looking forward to it too. The food is “fast foodish”. Greasy/oily, overly salty on some dishes and bland on other dishes. Same food quality and taste as Olive Garden. Kids left a lot of their main courses. Was a bit sad after the meal. Would not return. I understand the recent bankruptcy issues. Clients have too many other higher quality and better value options today. RL has not adapted to the 2020s.

   It is a 6 pm Saturday reservation so was quite busy. We had a good server who did his best to keep up with things, however at the end he did say there was one instead of two managers. Tough with kids though as the wait was over an hr to get our food. We were unaware it would take this long as immediate reservations were available. I feel they overbook for what they can handle. Lobster and shrimp were decent, but the steak medium for my kids came out well done and chewy. As it was too late we told them to take it back rather than wait for another. They did credit us for that and gave a free dessert. Anwyay not a streak place so likely better experience off peak and with strictly seafood. I won’t be back though as I know if a lot of better options, just thought I’d give them a go once as I liked the place when I was a kid.
