My lady friend wants to go out for fish on saturday so I suggested the Red Lobster restaurant. I called them and they said they have about 15 new menu items that are reasonably priced. Has anyone been there lately? What do you think of it? What's good to order? I hate anything that's smoked but I understand that not everything is smoked.

One my trip to TV
Where is the best Grouper.
That is a rare find up here.
And does anyone know of anyone that ship over night fresh fish.
If it can be done at all.

Bonefish Grille.

Last time we went to Red Lobster here in north Atlanta, it was not good
Service was slow, shrimp was overcooked, place had a moldy smell...the one close to us needs major renovations.....
Bonefish Grill is where wevgo now instead though the food fare is different from Red L

Bonefish without a doubt - may cost more but worth it.

Absolutely agree! The ambience and quality of food are much better. It is a little more expensive, but worth it.

Another vote for Bonefish - great menu and the ambiance, service and atmosphere is excellent.

The Darden Corp which has Red Lobster and Olive Garden has been cutting employee hours to under 30 per week so they will not have to provide health insurance. This has resulted in a drop in business from customers who are social minded.

One customer was quoted in the Orlando Sentinel as saying he and his wife have decided not to go to Red Lobster anymore based on the fact he did not want unhappy employees who just had hours cut preparing and serving his food. That seems to be reasonable to me.

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.

I wonder just how many people will be thanking the political activisim of the "social minded" when their boycotts inevitably results in their totally losing their jobs!

The cut backs that are occurring are not limited to just restaurants, but to many other retail outlets as well. Are you also going to boycott them so they can also lose their jobs too?

I understand the frustration over the cutbacks, and do so in a broader spectrum than being spoken of, but you DON'T solve problems by creating even bigger ones!

Support those employees at Red Lobster, Olive Garden and any other business (i.e. Sears) and preserve their jobs no matter who you blame for the cutback of hours! After all, they are the ones that are being hurt here, and we don't need to further make them suffer any more than we have to through ones political beliefs and actions!

Not that crazy about Red Lobster.Also service was poor, hopefully it was just that night.
