Red Lobster - Columbia

I visited for Lobster Fest. It's been a while since I've been to a Red Lobster, so I decided to stop by on a Saturday night after hearing about the Lobster Fest.

Last week, my wife and I visited Red Lobster for their Ultimate Endless Shrimp promotion. However, we both decided to try the new bairdi crab and roasted garlic instead.

Red Lobster is raising the bar. The Cheddar Bay Biscuits were as delicious as ever. I’m a big fan of their Crab Stuffed Mushrooms. My Sunset...

I had a very disappointing experience with the wait staff. I had a $100 gift card, and our dinner, which is shown in the picture, cost about $68. After signing off, I tipped $15-17 in cash, and the receipt showed a balance of $30 left on the gift card. However, when we returned, I found that the gift card only had $0.07 left. I just spoke with the manager, who was kind enough to give me a new $50 gift card. However, I'm still confused about how the waiter, who bragged about making $500 that day, then claimed he forgot to enter our order. As a result, we waited 42 minutes for our food, and he still managed to collect around $50 in tips on our $68 bill.

Staff is friendly and waiter was attentative. Appreciated his recommendations. The food was good for the price but the rice was a bit under cooked. The seafood was cooked well.
