The food was amazing--expensive, but genuinely amazing. I had the lobster roll, my friend had the…read moresummer salad with salmon, and we each had two drinks. The bill was about $120, which felt reasonable for the quality of the food. Unfortunately, the service really brought the experience down. Our server was clearly overwhelmed and had far too many tables. She was perfectly pleasant and seemed to be doing her best, but it took about 20 minutes before we could even ask for unsweetened butter for the rolls. The butter they initially brought was so sweet it tasted like buttercream frosting, which was not at all to my taste, and then it took another 10 minutes to actually get the replacement. I really wanted to love this place because the food was excellent, but this was a Monday evening. If the restaurant is this understaffed on a Monday, I can only imagine how much worse the service is on a busy weekend. As much as I enjoyed the food, I don't think I'd go back.

The setting is genuinely charming, and our waiter was excellent, friendly, attentive, and clearly trying to guide us toward the better choices. The Peruvian Tuna Ceviche was one of the real highlights, although to me it ate more like a tuna tartare. Fresh, bright, and very good. We finished every last bite. The blueberry dessert met the same fate, and those were basically the two plates that could have gone straight back into the cupboard. Unfortunately, that was not true of most of the other dishes. The Old "Quack" shioned, a duck fat washed Old Fashioned, sounded clever but did not work for any of us. I love duck and I love bourbon, but combining them only proved that two things I enjoy separately do not automatically improve each other. Some relationships should remain strictly platonic. The Blackened Shrimp & Grits had very good shrimp, but the presentation was messy and the dish never really came together. I had the Seared Heritage Pork Chop, which came highly recommended. I love a good pork chop, so I really wanted this one to work. The potatoes au gratin were excellent, but the sauce was overly rich without much depth or flavor, and the pork itself somehow became the least interesting part of the plate. That was disappointing. Lovely location, excellent service, and a genuinely pleasant place to spend an evening. Unfortunately, the food was too uneven for the price, and I am not sure I would return.

Walked in to the very small space and were told we needed to order online, so we got out our phones and scanned one of the many QR code signs posted on every surface anordered - two bagels, one with cream cheese and the other with butter. He confirmed he received the orders immediately- even before the payment had gone through. That seemed like a good sign. We waited and watched while he made salads and other orders for people who presumably ordered online before us, but didn't come in to pick up while we were there. Eventually he made our bagels, put them in cardboard baskets, covered them with aluminum foil (not sure why we needed that cardboard waste -- would have been happy with my bagel just wrapped in foil), covered them with paper towels, put them each in separate paper bags, and placed them on the counter while calling our names (even though we were the only people in the place and he had confirmed he knew who we were when he received the order). We took the bagels and walked across the street and got our coffees from the cute cat cafe with the friendly staff. Hit the road, and pulled out our bagels in the car. First bite was so bad that I tossed the rest of the bagel back in the bag... it was so crunchy it was more of a thick bagel chip, and shards of bagel stuck between my teeth like splinters. Certainly one-of-a-kind, I've never had another bagel like it. About 10 miles later I was hungry enough to get the bagel out and try again... this time I kneaded it through the aluminum foil a bit to bread it up first. It was still very crunchy and sharp, but there were some softer bits toward the middle. There wasn't much flavor, except where it was drenched in butter (and those bites tasted like butter, which isn't a bad taste I guess). TLDR, if you want bagels in Winchester WV skip this place and go to Sclafani's.

Deep rich color, clean broth, and not full of salt that is common in many restaurants. As one who makes French Onion soup from scratch and has sampled French onion soup in dozens of restaurants over many years, I would place this in the top 5. The cod was really special. Unusually very large pieces that were not drenched in a ton of batter. The result was a fresh, flaky texture and taste. The portions were such that we had leftover cod the next day. The fresh cut fries were a bonus that puts the Union Jack fries far above the typical institution, pre-made version found in most restaurants.

My family of six went out to eat here a week and a half ago. Our server, Devon, was spot on! She never let a glass get empty, was friendly and personable, and knew when to be talkative and how to read signals when we just wanted to talk with each other. The food was, of course, Amazing! The crab legs were cooked to perfection! The lobster was perfect, even the biscuits and Alfredo were heavenly! All six of us got our soups and salads together. All six entree's were brought out at the same time, by three people. The manager helped bring out food with a smile and was very polite! This was the best dinning experience I have had in years! I highly recommend Winchester Red Lobster! Next time you go, ask for Devon! read more

I went in and was seated around the bar area. To my displeasure I looked up and seen that CNN was on the television. I come to Red Lobster to enjoy my meal not to watch a fascist, hating, proven fake news with a one-sided agenda. CNN is currently ranked 13th out of all the news media and there's a good reason why. Red Lobster if you want to be part of the new hating fascist group that's fine but I'm not going to be forced to watch such news while I eat! read more
