    Side of coleslaw

    We had Easter Sunday lunch at the location in Bowling Green. First of all, let me say that the service and courtesy was top-notch level for any restaurant. I was amazed. I've never experienced courtesy like this in a Red Lobster before. Server staff were fantastic. The answer was always "yes" to whatever we requested. A lot of smiles. That is good to see nowadays. We both ordered lobster and it was delicious. The lobster duo includes a Maine lobster and a Caribbean lobster. The Caribbean lobster was a bit chewy compared to the Maine lobster but it was supposed to be different and was still good. The cheddar biscuits were excellent. So soft, hot and fresh. I don't ever remember them being that good. Lobster dip was piping hot just as you would expect. So good! Noise was minimal considering the volume of business. We will be back to this location soon.

    When we first walked in and it wasn't that busy and we waited for like 2 to 3 minutes to be seated because the girl behind the hostess desk was looking up some thing on the computer and told us just a second so I'm thinking she was new I was a bit apprehensive what our dining experience was going to be. She sat us in a booth and told us someone would be right with us and gave us our menus. We looked through the menus, and after no one came to even take a drink order after a couple minutes I told my husband I would give them five minutes and then we were going to get up and go somewhere else to eat. Right before the five minutes was up, one of the managers walked over and asked us what we would like to drink and also apologized for us waiting. We told him we also knew what we wanted to eat so he took both orders another manager came back quickly with our drinks, and then a waitress came with my salad , she explained that she didn't know that the table was part of her section. Now, after reading to this part, you're probably thinking why five stars?? Well, right after I was finished with my salad and they also had brought rolls for the table which are totally delicious, food came out piping hot and delicious. The manager said I wanted to make sure your service went flawless, and that your food was flawless because you sat here for up to seven minutes with no one even acknowledging you and I'm very sorry. I have to say the food was incredibly delicious. I got broiled rainbow trout with a side of broccoli. Both were seasoned to perfection and were so delicious. I've never thought broccoli was that good until I ate it there. I also got a side of shrimp scampi, and the shrimp in my opinion was a bit mushy, so maybe they were frozen shrimp? My husband got the fish and chips. The only thing he said was that to him the fish tasted like frozen cod that you buy at Aldi's and then cook but he said that everything was hot and tasty. My daughter got Walts favorite shrimp and she said it was delicious. She also got a side of broccoli with hers and fries. All in all, what could've been a horrible dining experience was a five star and I wanted to tell the manager that myself, but I didn't see him anywhere. I think it says a lot for this restaurant that both managers were bringing food out and taking orders, they may have been short staffed, or had a lot of new people on, but we left feeling happy and full. We will definitely be back to this red lobster .

    Monday April 3rd, 2023. Service (Makayla B.) was fantastic as was the food. Monday endless shrimp was outstanding. Shrimp Scampi is some of the best anywhere in the country. Well done Red Lobster!

    OK long rant took my family out to eat and got to the location at 6:10pm and was told it would be a 10 min wait and was happy to wait for my seat. I was notified at 6:21 that my table was ready ( I had a party of 6 4 kids and 2 adults). After being seated our server came over (Her name was Katie i believe) promptly and took our drink and appetizer order . She had our drinks out in a timely manner and a few min later our appetizers. The server then took our order I'll upload a pic. After about 20 min the server came back and apologized that it would take a little longer.I told her that's not a problem I understand restaurant work cause I have done the job before. After a little bit of time we had already finished our appetizers and 2 baskets of bread still no food. Again server came out and apologized and said she is all over the cooking crew tring to get our food. She ended up coming out 3 more times same story. We ended up sitting in the restaurant for almost 2hrs and no food and the server ended up coming out and finally told us that the one and only trained cook went home and all there was only trainees back there and the manager is back there with them and then asked if we would like our food to go. Seeing as 2 of my children are toddlers I figured I got to get them home. The server took my payment and the management compt my drinks and appetizers and part of a order. The management came out and began to sing a story of how they failed and asked us to come back... Well after a 35 min drive we got home to find that the food was water logged no flavor and one order was so skimpy it shouldn't even be called a order I paid 83$ after a 20$ gift card for something I could have went to iga and made my self for half the cost. If the owner reads this they need to think about a management change up if you schedule no trained cooks and all trainees your setting your self up for failure on a weekend day .Totally failed with the current setup there I'd recommend going to clarksville or other restaurant

    Presto board

    It was my server, Madison's first night and her service was outstanding. The food was served hot and fresh, just to my liking. However, it took at least two attempts to pay my check with the antiquated "presto" board. In fact it took about as long to pay as it took to finish my meal. The system needs to either be updated or canned altogether. Otherwise I would have submitted a 5 star rating.

    The grilled garlic shrimp

    Let's just say, the staff here is fantastic. I came her one Valentine's Day so of course it's busy. We called a week in advance to make a reservation however when we got there they said they don't do reservations on Valentine's Day. Not a big deal because stuff happens. The manager was kind enough to let us get an appetizer for free for the confusion. You want to know how we got it for free? By not acting mean to the staff. That's right! Being nice actually gets you far. So the wait was about 30 minutes, not bad at all in my opinion. The waiter, Zack, was the nicest waiter I've had. He answered all of our questions and was very attentive. The food was amazing. I got garlic grilled shrimp and it was cooked perfectly. You can't go wrong with their cheddar biscuits. I took about 12 of them to go. The appetizer was good also. It was mushrooms stuffed with what I think, bread crab and cheese. Even though there was a communication mishap, I still enjoyed my time here. I plan on coming back and I recommend this to anyone that is having a seafood craving.

    Ordered shrimp scampi, got a surprise when I bit into my shrimp and it still had the shell on it.

My husband ordered the snapper and thinking it was going to be a whole snapper with the head and all. Nope! It was a filet snapper on top of a bed or risotto. It was seasoned well and the risotto was creamy to perfection. The manager is amazing and this place is a perfect fit here in Bowling Green. If y'all ever have time and looking for .......

We had been avoiding it like the plague since then, because why would I want to give my money to some jerk off who thinks we're "inbreds" (his words, you can look it up). All that said, we were talking to some friends the other day and they said we should try it again because the seafood selection was fantastic, soooooo we decided to hit it up for our anniversary. We got the oysters, and they were some small guys but out waiter Eli (ask for him) said that they were easy coast even though they typically get west coast. It was nice to have a knowledgeable wait staff that was super friendly and happy to talk through anything with us that we had questions on. We got the steak and sea bass and both were great! Creamed spinach and baked potato as sides were a good call as well. We took some friends with us and one of them got the shrimp and grits, and those grits were LEGIT. Soooooo, if you're looking for a fine dining experience in Bowling Green you could really either do Tony's or Hickory & Oak. In my opinion, Hickory & Oak gets my vote because Josh is one of us and I doubt I'll ever read any articles about him ripping off his employees or calling Kentuckians names, but this experience was so good at Tony's that I might swallow my pride here and there and stop in every once in a while for a delicious steak or some really great bourbon and wine.

    We tried this hotel steak and seafood restaurant for the first time and left with mixed feelings…read more The online reservation system had no option to select seating when I booked, nor did anyone mention seating when they called to confirm our reservation, so we requested a booth from the hostess when we arrived. We were told they were fully booked, yet those exact booths sat empty during our entire meal. Fortunately, our waiter was phenomenal--incredibly upbeat, knew the menu well, and provided reasonably quick service despite the high volume of business the evening we visited. While the ambiance strives to match the restaurant's self-representation of being a fine dining steak and seafood establishment, the food fell a bit flat. I ordered the Filet Mignon and my husband ordered the New York strip; both were only a few tallies above what you could get at any decent, everyday restaurant. We also both ordered a lobster tail, which turned out to be a bit tough. I will say they do have the largest shrimp, which we really enjoyed, and their cocktail sauce was quite tasty. Ultimately, management needs to remember that they are still just a hotel restaurant. To truly captivate customers and justify their fine-dining labels and pricing, they need to refine their seating communication, make everyone who walks in feel seen and appreciated, and inject real culinary ambition into the kitchen, taste, and presentation. While we still enjoyed our evening, I personally do not see us returning. With that being said, they seem to still be thriving, which is great. It's just not for us.

We told the bartender and manager we were leaving because we hadn't gotten our food and to cancel our order. What has happened to this place? Has it changed ownership? What we saw yesterday was a poorly run restaurant and it's kind of sad after having some many good meals here.

In short, we wholeheartly recommend Cafe Italia, both because the food is excellent but also because the portions are so large they are an excellent value.
