    Upon arrival (in the light rain and wind) our initial experience was amazing, with valet service, a nicely covered and heated waiting area and entrance to dining was beautiful! We only waited minutes to be seated. Concerns were there.. knowing we had booked patio seating, however, we were seated very near an amazing fireplace, the ambiance was incredible, and we were acknowledged by our server immediately, with a wonderful note on our table wishing us an amazing anniversary! (Anni-Valentines) ! Our server Jenna Lee was kind, gracious, knowledgeable to the menu and most efficient! Our very picky friends who came with us (he has dementia) were blown away how patient she was in every part of our dining experience:) Especially with his lack of understanding the menu, she made it so simple! Our "suggested" appetizers and entrees were incredible, and the live plants were gorgeous! As we were leaving, a nearby table commented on how much fun we were having and wished up Happy Anniversary, as our server had mentioned to them we were celebrating on Valentines Day, and they commented what a great server she was! Another table saw my plate being served of the sea bass and wanted to know what it was! It was gorgeous!! Loved the added touch of runners (most professional) bringing our our meals:) Thank you again for making our special night even more special, we will be back, and share our experience with others! #17 years Lisa & Jeff Glendale AZ

    A lovely place to which we keep returning.! My out of town guests and I were running late for our reserved time on Valentine’s Day before the restaurant switched over to its late afternoon Valentine’s Day menu. We had run into heavy construction traffic returning from sightseeing. I called and explained the situation and then called again as we got closer. Richard was calm and gracious and said he’d make sure we were seated and indeed we were and delightfully attended to on the relaxing enclosed patio by our cheerful server. Delicious chicken pot pie ! I will keep bringing my out-of-town guests here!

    My wife and I love this place, and the food is always solid when we go there. The price is not cheap by any means for the food, but I believe the value is there. Our server last night was exceptional, Curtis went above and beyond with every request and adjustment we needed. The one critique I would suggest, when using open table to book the restaurant requires a $15 per person no show fee, they should in turn give you a $15 credit for not having your table ready when you arrive. We booked for 8 pm last night and had to wait 20 mins to be seated, when first approaching the reservation desk we were ask had we checked in??? there is no QR code or sign for check in??? The hostess (Both) very rude and seemed over whelmed with doing there job! Usually a simple we will get you seated as soon as we can, and thank you for your patience goes a long way!! Instead we got rude and no communication

    I originally had planned on a much more extravagant restaurant, however, with a 15 year-old growing boy who wanted lobster tails… I opted for red lobster. What a great decision that was! The food was awesome, my FILET was so tender and tasty. I could not have asked for more and it did not bankrupt me either! Thank you, Red Lobster and all the staff  for a wonderful dining experience!
