Happy hour margarita $5 with a side of pineapple and orange
Ricky B.

I went again for the weekly happy hour, and it didn't disappoint! The Sunset Passion Colada was amazing, and the margarita was just as great as always. The service and atmosphere were consistently excellent, with a super friendly staff. Always a good time

It's your typical red lobster. Some locations are better than others. The service here was really good but I found the food to be lacking. There's never a wait here and I've never found it to be busy so don't worry about doing a call ahead. We had the langosto dip as an appetizer and it didn't have much flavor. My guy likes to do the Admiral's Feast which comes with a bunch of fried fish items so not really healthy. I had the Caesar salad with grilled chicken added and it was fair. It doesn't compare to great seafood places down south but there aren't many seafood spots in Toledo. They have added more chicken and a few hamburger items in last few years. $80 for 2. Ouch. Can't recommend for the price.

Food was definitely great, came in for the endless shrimp deal and my waitress Britney was very nice and polite with a big smile on her face she definitely a hard working and makes sure your well taken care of at your table, I like the garlic butter shrimp and shrimp Skewers with a side of rice and broccoli, they also have a nice selection of drinks too.

I loved going to this red lobster. It's pretty close to where I stay so it's really convenient and the bread/biscuits you get as starters is to die for. PROS: The service was really great and the ambience is really nice for dinner. Again S/O to those bread/biscuits!!! The lobster mashed potato side is also very delicious and the vanilla bean cheese cake dessert is also very good. (I will highly recommend getting that one) Cons: The entrée did not do it for me at all. It tasted really bland and the Alfredo was just off. Besides that everything was good I had a really great time and would definitely go back again. Would 8/10 recommend!

New England clam chowder soup and the Caesar salad.

What can I say? This particular Red Lobster is one of the better locations in regards to food and service. We were meeting up with some friends catching up and having a good time. Even though Thanksgiving just ended, we went out anyways. We ended up getting an array of items: like the stuffed mushrooms and the shrimp nachos as our starters which were delicious! For my particular meal, I did the four course meal for $16, which in my opinion, is an excellent deal. I ended up getting the Caesar salad with New England clam chowder soup and my main dish was the shrimp and scallop linguine with alfredo sauce and tomatoes. My dessert was the caramel cheesecake which was so decadent and delicious, I was more than thankful it was small. It was so much food for 16 bucks. Our server Cory was hilarious and a pretty good sport considering he was feeding like seven girls. He had me and my sister dying of laughter. Great job Red Lobster.

Always good to hit a Red Lobster when traveling out of town. I don't know why, maybe it's those buttery cheddar biscuits served pippin hot! Or one of the many deals, endless shrimp or adding a grilled lobster tail to any meal with drawn butter. The staff is friendly, accommodating and professional. Enjoyed Red Lobster in Maumee, OH....I know, where?

Wild-Caught Snow Crab Legs, Baked Potato, warm biscuits, rice, scallops, and pasta.  Soooo good!

In Ohio for the day to shop from MI and thrilled to be able to dine-in at a restaurant for the 1st time in nearly 3 months!! Excellent service, clean and delish, yummy food.

Food was over cooked. Caesar salad had to much dressing. For that price you would expect a very nice meal. Also felt rushed by waiter.

It's beautiful inside, the servers and staff are attentive and helpful, and the food is always very good. For example, my client ordered the Blackened Shrimp Alfredo and the shrimp were carefully placed to be standing up in a circle which was so much more attractive than if they were simply laying in the pasta and sauce. I also appreciate the convenient location off of 475 and the large parking lot.

I was disappointed in the lack of European wines but found an Italian on the last bottle list. It was $150 but I was desperate. Unfortunately, our server didn't come back for 15 min to take our order and then when she finally delivered it, she broke the cork because she didn't screw down far enough. Alcohol is a big money maker yet we sat for 40 minutes before it was poured. The food was the main problem. Not only a super slow kitchen but it was then served refrigerator cold. Everything. Fish, steak, green beans, baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, even the plate was frigid. So we sent it back and instead of preparing a new plate, they tried to just warm it and brought it back cold..again. This was a $75 plate of food. At this point, we were concerned about food safety and said to just forget it. Luckily we had bread with our wine but they never offered anything else other than not charging us for the food which we didn't even touch. This was two hours after our arrival so went home hungry after paying for the wine. To top it off, there was a loud, raging fight in the bar area that we heard across the restaurant so we waited until they had left, concerned about a physical altercation.

There's a bar on one side with a wall separating it from the "dining room" but there are windows so you can see over. There were chairs stacked up in the corner next to a defunct retro game. It felt like I was in the basement of an Elks club in the 80s. All it was missing was a cloud of smoke and a pull tab machine on the wall. It was us and another couple that I overheard say was also their 1st time in. The waitress said the prices for all steak and chops were $5 more than the menu. Bringing my steak to $33. We became very concerned when a nervous cook kept popping in and out of the kitchen accompanied by the sound of a microwave door opening and closing several times. The neighboring couple asked what was good and the waitress just stared reading the menu off. My husband ordered a burger and fries. The burger looked pretty good and the fries were hand cut but there were only about 10 of them. My steak was cooked appropriately and tasted good but 50% of it was fat so that was disappointing. It was served with the Veg of the day (a mixed bean blend) and a small baked potato. The beans were watery didnt have a speck of seasoning or butter on it. It looked like something youd see on a tray at the old folks home. The potato was small for a baked potato but adequate. The waitress had also asked if we'd like bread. When it came out it was 2 slider buns with what I assume was margarine. It wasn't edible. My husband ordered an IPA for his first beer and said it was skunked. No one else came in the whole time we were there. 6:30ish on a Saturday and the only 2 couples there were newcomers. I dont know what that says about the place. Can't say I'd order a steak again but I might return for a burger.

All of the food was amazing, but hands down the table favorite was honestly the whipped feta. It's what dreams are made of! It had a slightly spicy oil topper, and delicious crostini! The only note I would give, is that the bacon appetizer really needs to come with a steak knife for sharing. It was a little too hard to cut with just the butter knife. Steaks and sides are all prepared perfectly, the button mushrooms were a hit as well. I would completely recommend this restaurant to anyone, and will return again if I'm back in the area.

They did absolutely nothing wrong, but in the end, our mealnsits above average. The first thing is the food. The portions are not huge, but that's okay at an expensive place. My ribeye was cooked exactly medium rare and was a nice cut of meat. However, it was drowning in butter and was just too salty for the meat to shine through. A good steak, but not great and maybe not even very good. My wife's scallops were very good and came with a great corn relish underneath. The sides must be ordered separately. We got the mashed potatoes and those were absolutely excellent-- probably also too much butter, but that just makes potatoes better. We got the feta appetizer and that was good, but very thick in our mouths. My wife had the leftovers for lunch and found it better as it's own meal The service was simply great. They knew we wouldn't finish the feta and had it boxed and bagged with extra toast before we were done with our entrees. Nice, attentive, detailed. We both looked at the cocktails and wines and saw nothing that interested us. We're not big drinkers, but were surprised. Usually an expensive place has something for us. The tables are very large. We were on a date, but we felt too far to have an intimate conversation. My wife skipped a few topics because it felt too public to talk about them. I do not disagree with paying a lot for exceptional food. I came in expecting to drop $200 on dinner. I wanted to wine and dine my lovely wife. But Benchmark was not exceptional. It was above average. And when I'm trying to decide between 3 and 4 stars, feeling as though it's not worth the price makes me drop to 3. It would have been 4 stars at $100 or maybe $150.

For your date night - find somewhere else to spend your hard earned money such as the standard or the registry bistro in Toledo. Your dollar will go further and you will leave much more satisfied. We were disappointed and still left hungry after a ~$160 tab, before tip, for two entrees and a glass of wine each ($13 and $14 each for cloudline Pinot and stag cab). Avoid the crab cakes - shell-like stuff in literally every bite with hardly any flavor down to the aioli, small portion at $24 it is not worth your money. Unfortunately had a fishier bite that really was disappointing. This was my first time that I have ever sent a plate back, which we were comp'd for sort of - server said it was removed but the total bill was still somehow $10 or so over the cost of items ordered. The filet was $66, it was well cooked at medium rare however it was cold at the time it got to the table, the " local mushroom risotto" was more of a pilaf - not your usual savory unctuous dish, and green beans were al dente however, there were only about 10 of them. I don't mind spending money on an expensive steak but for $66 I expected a great, hot steak with well done sides. The miso sea bass was well cooked and probably the most redeeming part of the meal. The specialty cocktail list is majority vodka based. Not the "top shelf" bar experience that you'd be used to if coming from Detroit area or the registry or even Hannons block in downtown Toledo. Overall, I recommend looking somewhere else for your date night, there are great places in the Toledo area to be enjoyed.

Many of our families had not yet had any of the new "hotspots" It just happened to end up being a very Asian heavy weekend. (Koi/Top Pot) Top pot was great. The menu is enormous and the food and sauce combos are endless. We came in eight deep, my only complaint is not having enough large tables. If one person gets hot pot, everyone has to get hot pot. If you are going to make everyone at the table pay for hot pot, I think it's only fair to have enough hot plates for everyone at that table. I didn't even want hot pot, I just wanted the Korean barbecue portion, but I still had to pay the increased price. I get the concept, but if you are sitting at a table with six burners and there are eight people, it's a little ridiculous to make all eight of us pay for hot pot if we opt not to order broth and there's not even away for us to make a hot pot. We ordered a lot of food! There were a ton of appetizers, hot pots, and multiple rounds of ordering meats and vegetables. The staff stayed on top of it, we had our drinks refilled regularly, and we never had an empty plate. Prior to leaving, we all ordered bubble tea. This was not my first time here, but this was my first time coming with a group so large. In this instance, I didn't mind because the service truly was exceptional, but watch out for the gratuity that is added by the restaurant. Because it was a large table, they added automatic gratuity at 18 or 20% I can't remember which to be honest. I went to the podium and ordered my bubble tea to go and paid my bill. Without even thinking, I hit 20%, as I always do unless the service is terrible... Don't get me started on why we need to aggressively tip wait staff) As I was walking out, I looked down and realized I paid $62 for lunch! No alcoholic drinks, did not have a soft drink with my meal. Just korean bbq and a water plus my six dollar bubble tea to go. I figured someone else else's drinks or another person's check got added to mine. Nope! That's when I saw they had already added the automatic gratuity. So in addition to the automatically added gratuity, I paid 20% above that. Again, the weight staff were exceptional and we came in with eight people at 11:30 in the morning the minute the doors opened on a Sunday. I just want other people to be aware, not everybody has as much of a discretionary budget as I am unfortunate to have. When I checked into other people in my party suffered the same mistake. All I can say, is that waiter probably made a solid. $150 off us in tips. Good for him though!
