My Fiancee and I went there for an anniversary of ours recently. We didnt exactly pick the best time to go seeing as it was a Friday and during the dinner rush. Our fault. But even for it being that time we couldnt have waited more than about 10 minutes in the front of the restaurant. The front house staff was cordial, nice and very polite to everyone there. When we were seated we were seated in one of the larger rooms. Every booth was filled and there was only two seafood specialist. But even with all the people our specialist managed to take care of everyone very well, multitasking and making all of his customers feel as though he was always helping them. We were only seated about a minute and a half when he was able to make his way to us. This gentlemans name was Travis and I could not have asked for anyone better. He was very nice and very knowledgeable. I cant say enough good things about this gentleman. We both ended up going with the Four Course meal that they were running. My Fiance got the following from this: Creamy Bacon Potato Soup, Caesar Salad, Cajun Chicken, and the Brownie with Ice Cream. I went with this: Creamy Bacon Potato Soup, Caesar Salad, Garlic Shrimp and Scallops, and the Apple Crostata with Carmel Drizzle. The cheese biscuits were brought out right away, pipping warm and very good. We each had one and about that time the soup came out. We both got the same thing seeing as neither of wanted the clam chowder. But both of them were great, not too much potato, everything was well balanced. About the time that there was maybe a couple bites of that left the Main dishes came out. Both were very large for the price and also well balanced. Hers had a good helping of both noodles and chicken. The Cajun spices were noticeable but not overwhelming. Mine had a good amount of both shrimp and scallops, though they were not really that big, not to complain though because for the price there was a lot. When he noticed we were slowing down he brought the desserts, Both were decent sized and tasted amazing. As for Drinks my fiancee had the Strawberry Mango daiquiri. It was well mixed with the perfect amount of alcohol. I went with a Chardonnay (Sutter Home to be specific) it had an apple flavor to it and was a great wine. Overall our experience was great and I would happily go back again, I will say though that Travis did add a lot to this and was awesome as our Seafood Specialist.

Red lobster has been my favorite place to eat since I was a kid, so its always a treat when I get to go. We live on camano island so its at least a 60 minute drive, that is if traffics not an issue. The first time we went it took our server 10 minutes before she got our drinks. The food however came out incredibly fast, almost too fast, and now I know why. My lobster tails were so rubbery, I almost suspect they were microwaved. Today we decided to give it another try because I got the day off! Unfortunately the traffic was bad getting there so by the time we arrived we were starving! Our server was very friendly, but again took way to long to get our drink order...at least 10 minutes, no exaggeration!! Its crab fest right now, which we were super excited about. I ordered the crab lovers dream. That came with king crab legs, snow crab legs, and crab Alfredo. The crab legs were so salty, it literally tasted like they were boiled in a bath of pure salt water. The worse part was the crab Alfredo. It was SUPER GREASY. The grease from the Alfredo sauce was all over my plate and there was tiny crab shells all throughout the pasta. It was definitely inedible. Not to mention the crab meat in the pasta was also rubbery. I dont know if the cooks know how to properly cook seafood. Everything weve had at this red lobster is extremely OVER COOKED. Lobster is suppose to be so tender, it cuts like butter. This will unfortunately be our last visit at this location. To pay $30 bucks a plate for over cooked seafood, especially in WA is a joke. Who ever runs this location, your kitchen staff needs a revamp or trained properly. Wasted trip! And we sat in traffic on the way back for 65 minutes on a disappointed stomach!!!

This why I hate coming here.. but it was my sister in law birthday and she wanted to come here. As usual, the waiting sucks !! Our 25 MIN wait went from 25 to 45 and the couple that came behind us went before us and we had the exact amount of people too. Then after all the B.S., it took 15 mins to get our drinks ! Well dinner suck too, our waitest name April suck. She bought out the dinner two different times so half of us was watching the other eat. And when it came for the bill, the waitress knew that my neice was paying for Mom and sister dinner, she try to keep a 15 change to herself. Im like Wow, my neice 12yrs Old save her money to take her mom out and this is how April (the waitest) treated her. The worst place to take a family for a nice dinner, even we didnt like the service we give her the tips and plus shes trying to keep all the money my niece give her, she didnt even bother to bring back the change she just try to keep it all and my niece a 12 years old waiting for her change we have to track the waitress because she didnt come back.

Went in for the $16.99 endless shrimp, 20 minute wait unless I ate in the bar, and what they dont tell you is that extra shrimp comes served on a tea-cup sized plate with approximately 5-6 shrimp on it. You have to wait each time if you order more, so you will be sitting there for 5-10 minutes at a time waiting for your order to come. The server inside the bar was very very rude, she grabbed the seating holder out of my hand and was too dumb to realize that I was sent there by the hostess. I wasnt going to give up my seat just to give the device back to the hostess, the bar tender could have politely asked for it, instead saying "but you have one of those". First and last time I will be eating there. While the food tasted above average I thought they used way too much salt on everything. If your gonna spend $16.99 then go to the Tulalip Buffet on tuesday, all the shrimp you can eat and they dont ration it like at this place.

My family and I went here on Valentines Day and it was, as expected, absolutely packed. We managed to get in in about 20 minutes with a party of 5. When we got inside we got our drinks in about 5 minutes and our waiter, Chris was kind and took our orders with ease. We got our salads and soups in about 10 minutes. The biscuits were perfect and were not too salty and were warm. The wait for the main entree arrived in around 30 minutes, it was packed, when it did arrive it was delicious and didnt feel liked it was microwaved. Our waiter, Chris, did an excellent job of checking periodically and kept refills for our drinks on standby. All in all the service, for us, was amazing, the food was great and the atmosphere was extremely friendly.
