Personally, I like Bonefish a lot better anyhow and do not go to Red Lobster - but the company policy of cutting employee hours to part time cinches it for me.
buggyone, Thank you for posting this information. I have enjoyed eating at Olive Garden and Red Lobster in the past. Will have to rethink eating at these places in the future.

Just my 2 cents -- I would choose Bonefish over Red Lobster.
