Seriously some of the best sushi in town! Great environment. Always had great service. Triple tuna is our favorite. We probably eat here 2-3 times per month it is so good. We often take our guests from out of town here and they all agree it is awesome!

We have been to other Crab Shack locations around the country, but this spot was a dissapointment. My first impression was the location was in need of an overhaul. The place seemed well worn, period. The other item of our dissapointment was the long wait to get our meal - over 20 minutes. Do not know the cause for this to happen on a Sunday dinner. Once our meal did arrive, the food, and its presentation, was average. It was enough for us to not return.

I have avoided this particular Red Lobster for about 15 years because of their poor lobster cooking, but with LobsterFest and the passage of time, I decided to try again. Pluses -- the lobster bisque is very good, my companion's lobster roll got raves, and the shrimp and lobster pieces in the pineapple beurre blanc that comes with the Lobster in Paradise is wonderful. the so-so -- the baked potato with the three kinds of lobster is ok but nothing special. The disappointing -- the Lobster in Paradise, a coconut crusted lobster tail sounds like a great idea, but the crusting overwhelms the lobster and the lobster tail was overcooked, tho' not rubbery, the shrimp skewer with the chili-ginger sauce is flavorful, but the shrimp was tough and chewy. Overall the meal was not worth the price. The waitress was annoying -- everything was 'we' this and 'we' that -- if I wanted the waitperson to be we, I'd invite them to join us. I have eaten in Red Lobsters in RI, VA, NY, Sioux City, IA, Colorado Springs and LA. My three experiences with this Red Lobster over 18 years rank them as the worst Red Lobster I've ever been toHi, Johnny.

Bonefish always has great specials and fantastic drinks! We use Dine Rewards and this is a great place to get another credit! This night we had the three course lobster meal for $21. Had to have the server correct the check, but that was done quickly, no problem. The martinis are always delicious!

Had a nice Twnderloin Salad and iced tea that was nowhere worth $21 plus tip. The bread to start was van interesting, but nothing I would return for. Reasonable portions and tasty, but overall nothing special. It was a nice design and decor. Service was very spotty. Have never been asked (bruskly) what temperature when ordering. Usually a how would you like your meat cooked. Was very slow to refill tea and water.Dear Mark,Thank you for taking the time to write about your recent experience.

This was our second visit while traveling. Experience was not as good as the first time. My mahi-mahi nightly special was overcooked. My wife's swordfish was also overcooked. The restaurant is large with a number of dining areas and bar. Wait staff are friendly and competent. There is also a seafood retail market connected to therestaurant.
