    Warm biscuits
    Mary T.

    Recently, my intern told me about the lobster and shrimp summerfest happening at Red Lobster. She loved it. I, on the other hand, hadn't visited a Red Lobster in years. I had our conversation in the back of my head. While I was in Kitchener, I would pass by this Red Lobster location often. One day, I caved and had lunch here. I had a late afternoon lunch at around 2 pm. I was seated promptly. I remember waiting for an older couple to pass by me. The gentleman looked at my Snoopy t-shirt that I had on, which said, "I'm a dog person," and he said that he was, too. As expected, it's not all that busy at 2 pm for lunch. While looking at the menu, I sipped my Diet Pepsi that I had ordered. I also got buttery warm biscuits. Since I hadn't had these yummy goodies in ages, I inhaled all of them well before my meal came. Oops! I ordered the Caribbean lobster and coconut shrimp. I got broccoli on the side. I had to order from the lobster and shrimp summerfest menu. The Caribbean lobster was delightful. It had little cubes of pineapple and sweet red peppers, with some sort of coconut-infused butter on top. It was easy to get the lobster tail out of its shell and devour it. The coconut shrimp was delicious. I love all things coconut. The shrimp was fresh and perfect. It came with a pina colada-like dipping sauce. It wasn't sweet. It was just right. I wanted to eat a bit healthier, so I kept the broccoli as the side. It was done right. I enjoyed it. I couldn't order dessert. I was full. This dish was $26. It was decent for the freshness of the seafood that you got. I had a fun conversation with two women at the next table who were visiting from Newfoundland. One of them kept needing to visit the washroom. The other woman was worried that she may be lost. There are single washrooms in two different locations in the restaurant. They both asked their server how to get to St. Jacob's Market. Their server actually came back about five minutes later, sat with them, drew a map, and explained turn-by-turn instructions to both of them. It was highly impressive! I had a different server. I didn't need any directions, but she was great and friendly. You can tell that staff here enjoy working at this restaurant. There is a ton of parking here. I had no issues. If I am ever in the area again, I'd come back. (271)

    This was the first time my boyfriend and I ever went to a Red Lobster. I have seen their commercials of endless shrimp for years, and was excited to be able to try it out yesterday for lunch. They have six varieties of shrimp to choose from, along with a side. Our favourites were the cheesy and ginger/sesame types. Unfortunately, we stopped at 40 and 45 shrimp counts because it was all too buttery; I wish they include salads. Cheddar biscuits were phenomenal. The server, hostess, and manager were all very nice, and greeted/checked up on us multiple times. They brought out some complimentary birthday ice cream with whipped cream and caramel sauce, which was very nice of them. To be honest, I do not think that I would go for endless shrimp again. Although the shrimp are large, plump, and well cooked, six types with no salad/vegetable is simply too little variety and too much butter for me to handle. I would however come back and order from their regular lunch menu, which would allow me to eat more of their delicious biscuits.

    Hubby and I usually eat here every year on my birthday. We came again this year after i'd just arrived home from a birthday trip to Cedar Point. I was so tired I forgot to take adequate pix...but I managed to stay awake through dinner, so that was a plus. Our server was the best. She was so nice and friendly. She loved to read and we talked books...I always really enjoy that. She cared...something you don't find in many places these days, and we could feel it. I wish I could remember her name, but I was so out of it and hubby paid, so I don't have the receipt, but she was excellent. I got my usual ultimate feast. I will say that after eating crab legs & shrimp in NOLA, the seafood anywhere else just isn't the same. But my dinner was very good and I enjoyed it immensely. I was informed by the server that she was very sorry, but Red Lobster didn't provide free birthday desserts anymore. I wasn't too upset as it wasn't really my birth DAY but she did all she could to make it a special event. Hey, shame on you Red Lobster for cutting out the birthday dessert and singing. I just may have to break tradition and find a new place to eat next year. I can't give less stars though, because the food and pina colada were so good and our server was just excellent. But to cheap out on a dessert for the price we paid for dinner...not cool. Thanks to (wish I could remember her name) I really enjoyed my bday dinner after arriving home. Despite Red Lobster's new unwelcoming birthday policy (which is really cheap btw) the service made it a night I won't soon forget. Probably will look for a new spot next year though. Hubby just found receipt and her name was Rebecca T. AWESOME server!

    Lobsterfest is back which also means we're back. Got the firegrill lobster and shrimp and the ultimate feast. Super delicious and everything was fresh. Our server was also really good at making sure we got everything we need and was checking up on us frequently. Nothing to complain about.

    This 30-year-old restaurant personifies New Orleans food very well, serving Creole and Cajun…read morecuisine. The dishes were plated well, and the food was fresh and tasted delicious. There are specials that change weekly. The interior is decorated with New Orleans memorabilia, medium lit, cozy (not large), with jazz music in the background. Service was attentive and friendly. They operated for 30 years at their old location. This location soft-opened on 2026-02-12. We came on 2026-02-25 for dinner. There were still some furnishings to complete (there were unforeseen delays). They kept the same menu offerings but it will be expanded within a month. We ordered the following: 1. Citra Terre D'Abruzzo Pinot Grigio - Italy (glass $14.95). 2. Coke. 3. Crab Cakes ($19.95). 4. New Orleans Shrimp Cocktail ($19.95). 5. Jambalaya Aranchini (weekly special). 6. Blackened Lamb Chops (weekly special). 7. New Orleans Fisherman's Plate ($39.95). 8. Pecan Pie warmed with Ice Cream ($14.95). 9. Bananas Foster ($14.95). 10. Beignet ($14.95). Every dish had an excellent presentation. We spent a lot of time taking photos and videos. What did you expect from me?! We loved all the dishes! The portions were large! There are more staff than in the previous location, allowing the service to be excellent. They tend to have many loyal and returning customers. Every table starts with freshly baked bread and butter. The bread was so fresh! The three appetizers tasted good. They each had a little kick due to creole cuisine. I loved the shrimp the most. The Blackened Lamb Chops was perfectly cooked. Each of the four pieces were very tender, accompanied by a delicious sauce. The dish had some very nicely cooked seasonal vegetables: roasted potatoes, a red pepper, string beans, a broccoli, and a carrot. This dish will be put into their regular menu in the near future. The New Orleans Fisherman's Plate is great if you want a little sampling of their seafood: Blackened Fish, Cajun Calamari, and Coconut Beer Shrimp. It also comes with rice and seasonal vegetables. The fish was so good! We brought some home for my mom and she really loved it. The Coconut Beer Shrimp was on top of a Orange Marmalade Sauce, which is really liked. The three desserts looked really good and tasted good. I loved the pecan pie the most. They can split dishes in half in the kitchen and serve them on two dishes for two people to share. The restaurant uses fresh seasonal ingredients and spices to create authentic Creole and Cajun tastes. Everything is made in-house except for bread and butter. In the near future, their bread will be made in-house too. Currently, there is only indoor dining but they are looking into the possibility of sidewalk outdoor dining. Mike Djurdjevic runs the front of the house while his wife, Mira Djurdjevic, operates the kitchen. Their son, Marko, also helps in the front of the house. There is a large pizza oven at the back of the restaurant. They will be introducing creole pizza in the near future. There is a separate large room for events, parties, etc. This room will be ready in the near future. They also do catering. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There is one gender-neutral washroom, which is also wheelchair accessible, and one female washroom. Thrre is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2026-037

    Everything was delicious…read more The bread was warm and tasty, and both the servers and the owner were incredibly friendly, which made the experience even better. At first, the location felt a bit odd and made me wonder what to expect, but once inside, the atmosphere was actually very nice and welcoming. The seafood was excellent, and the grilled bass was amazing -- that was my favorite dish of the night. The other dishes we tried were also very good, but the grilled fish really stood out for me. The owner also mentioned that they'll be moving soon to a larger location near the Etobicoke lake area, which sounds exciting. With a better location and more space, the atmosphere should be even better, and I think the restaurant will do really well. Definitely a place I'd recommend, and I'm looking forward to visiting again after they move.
