Uplifting the sole: Red Lobster goes upscale with new plating and pricing
Do people consider RL an upscale, middle class dining establishment? They should see the one in my town...its anything but upscale.

Went to a Red Lobster a couple weeks ago, and the food was just terrible.

Red Lobster simply needs to return to what it used to be: A medium-priced restaurant that serves good food and lots of it. Although their current way of during things (read: terrible food) may have ruined RL forever.

The food certainly doesn't look like the food in their TV ads.

we eat out twice a year. my birthday and Mrs. DAB's birthday. that's it. Outback for me, TBD for her.
with a little patience and effort we can cook fine meals in our redone kitchen just fine, and can skip 20 min of driving each way and another 20 min of waiting for something to happen once there. Salmon tonight. i may not plate our food real fancy, but it's good eats. |

I happen to live in the "worlds luckiest fishing village". Real seafood. Real fresh.
To us, Red Lobster is the McDonalds of seafood. |

I'm a pretty good cook since a chef friend from Greece taught me, and I think what I cook at home is just as good as any restaurant's offerings at much less cost and and I know healthier.Although I will eat some shrimp that is for sale here that is direct from the Gulf Coast, my other seafood comes from Alaska: Halibut, scallops, and hughe Spot Shrimp that taste more like lobster. My side dishes are usally simple, like steamed kale and other things from my garden. The rest of the year I eat from the farmer's market. |

The quality of the seafood sucks they have no cooks that can make seafood without it turning to rubber,the shrimp is 200ct which is miniscule but when you see one of their commercials you would think you were eating at a 5 star restaurant. I'd rather eat at Mc Donald's...

Plus, the Gulf doesn't offer cold-water lobster or crab legs or scallops. And the cold waters of Alaska haven't been polluted like the Gulf has. |
