    The food was really good! I had Maine lobster tail with their signature Garlic Shrimp Scampi. If you can't find it in the menu because It was on Monday Special deal. Not sure how long it will last. They cook the shrimp and lobster just perfect! The entree came with their Cheddar Bay Biscuits which is good too. I ordered brownie Overboard. I was originally want to try their new dessert, which is Strawberry Cheesecake but they don't have it. But the brownie overboard was also good. The brownie wasn't warm but I want it to go so that's fine. The only thing is when I visited, they were not too busy, so it's bit calm and not noisy, which I like. only two more people beside myself in the section but the service a bit slow for me. While waiting for my food, I was looking at the menu again and I think the unlimited shrimp is not bad. I'd probably like to try that one next time.

    We came to Red Lobster on St. Patrick's Day when all the other restaurants were doing corned beef and busy. We got in to Red Lobster after just about 10 minutes (waiting for next shift group to get in). We hadn't been to a Red Lobster in 6 years. It was Lobsterfest. So the menu was big. We chose the Bar Harbor Lobster Bake and the Ultimate Feast. We share all the plates so we get a little of everything. We got Caesar salads, baked potato and a cup of clam chowder on the side. The Bar Harbor Lobster Bake was very good with shrimp, mussels, scallops and Maine lobster tail over linguine. The linguine and seafood was cooked perfectly and was delicious. The Ultimate Feast was also very good. It had shrimp, snow crab legs and lobster. My only negative was the lobster were so tiny, it made me feel bad. I would have skipped it. I don't know who harvests the tiny ones but it's sad. They say they are 'committed to fishing practices that are intended to help protect and preserve the lobster population and other marine life for generations to come'. The shrimp are a combination of wild-caught and farmed in what has been awarded a Best Aquaculture Practice. In face, they partnered with Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch program. The program is part of the aquarium's initiative to improve the sustainability of global fisheries. We have to be aware of where our food comes from so it's a good thing for Red Lobster to do. Our server was wonderful. She was nice and excellent at her job. Service really makes a difference to customers. The food was good. Overall, it was a good experience. I would never do lobster again here but the shrimp was very good.

    Endless Garlic Shrimp Scampi, tequila lime shrimp, and more.

    Shrimp was awesome and cooked to perfection. We were excited to try all of the flavors and our server was very attentive and brought them to us very quickly and fresh. It was very clean and comfortable with low lighting and soft music.

    Decided to take my BFF out to dinner at our favorite place, Red Lobster!!

    I've been going to Red Lobster for over 30 years, and it's barely changed, which is good and bad, haha. The seafood is always as expected, tasty and large portions, and the price is on par. This location is usually not busy, so everything comes quick. I will return.

I was seated right away and intrigued by the menu, a combination for all seafood lovers is there, and since I moved here from the Washington, DC area, when I saw blue crabs as a choice, I jumped on adding that to my order. I ordered the "Feeling Crabby" boil, and figured I would be waiting a while, but that was not the case, my food arrived in less than 5 minutes, and it was HUGE. I dove right in, adhering to my long lost dad's rule of "Eat the expensive stuff first"- he would tell me and my 5 siblings that on the rare occasion that we ate out- so I went right for the blue crab. This was the only disappointing part of my whole visit. The blue crabs are tiny, like half the size of the palm of your hand, and I had never seen any that small. Back in Northern VA and MD, these would be illegal to keep, and there was literally no meat to be taken from them, so that was a letdown, so I moved on to the shrimp, which, with the Mr. & Mrs. Crab Special seasoning, was fantastic. I had no plans to eat the other stuff if I got full, but I love food and this was too good to stop now, so I forged on, trooper that I am. The sausage was quite possibly the best part of the show, it was so good that I couldn't get enough of it. The potatoes were soaked in seasoning and awesome, the corn was great, too. Man, this had me licking my lips the entire meal. Now I've been back a few more times and I prefer to make my own boil- shrimp, scallops, clams, and of course, sausage. It's a great dish and I eat every bit of it. The service is always good, and I've seen them handle difficult customers a couple of times- some customers are never pleased no matter what you do, but the staff handles them well. My only wish is that they had something besides chicken tenders to offer the non-seafood lovers. I want this because my wife doesn't like seafood and there is nothing else for her to eat there, heck, a fried chicken sandwich would do, so I can't go to this place unless my wife has other plans, which is a bummer.

    Our family visited Scarpinos in Bradenton last week for dinner, and we had a fantastic experience!…read moreThe ambience in the restaurant was nice and the atmosphere was very warm and inviting. Our server was excellent, going so far as to check on us regularly and even to box up our food at the end of the meal. The food, however, was the best part! It tasted very authentic, and the portions were incredibly generous. I'm originally from up north between Philly and Pennsylvania, so we had good pizza up there all the time. But finding pizza that's good down here is very hard to do. I can confidently say Scarpinos' pizza may not only be the best in Bradenton, but the best I've ever had anywhere, including Chicago and New York! I will definitely be eating there again and often. If you're looking for a fantastic authentic Italian experience, we can't recommend this place enough!

Once seated, the waiter was very attentive throughout the entire meal. To start our meal, we ordered a a plate of the calamari, which were ok, maybe a bit more rubbery than I like. Side salads were brought out after, which were ok, nothing great, very basic. They also brought some tasty, warm garlic rolls/knotts with the salads. For my entree, I had a tough time deciding, there were a lot of good options on the menu, but I was really interested by the Cacio E Pepe, but it is only available as a meal for (2) which seemed a bit excessive. My brother and I decided to get it together, along with a side of sausage to add some protein to the meal. I've seen videos of pasta made with in a cheese wheel online several times, and have wanted to try it, but this has been my first opportunity. They bring out the cooked pasta, and prepare it in the cheese wheel at the table, which was an added bit of fun for the dining experience. overall it was a fun and tasty meal. Got to try something I've been wanting to for a while. One warning, the restaurant is basically just one large room, so it can get a bit loud, depending on the crowd and how busy it is. But I'd go back, and would recommend this spot to other as well.
