My lady friend and I came to the Red Lobster after visiting the Adena Mansion in Chillicothe. Using the email Priority Seating were seated quite quickly. However, we did have to wait quite a long time for our dinners but there two large groups there and our waitress was running herself ragged but was still attentive to us in spite of that.
