Vanessa is an outstanding waitress. She made me and my grandmother's birthday so special and so memorable. She is so creative when it comes to making cards and setting up Birthday desserts. Because of her she made my experience at red lobster memorable.

My daughters loved it here. Because they have allergies it’s hard for them to eat out but experience was a smooth one. Brandon was our server and Jerry the general manager helped make our experience a memorable as the girls became certified Lob-star Handlers🙌🥰🥰🥰
