The last couple of times I've come here I wasn't impressed. Because of this I haven't been to Red Lobster in years. This time the food was surprisingly good. The service however, was not. I understand a lot of places are still under staffed so I try to be patient when it takes a bit for a server to make their rounds. It took a good 10 minutes before our drink orders were even taken. But again I try to be patient. I'll admit to then taking longer than the server seemed to think I should have deciding on what I wanted. I was very indecisive that day. We had an appetizer which was brought out by a different staff member. Then our server seemed to either forget we existed or was deliberately ignoring us. When our food was brought out she said she'd be back with a drink refill and then the next time she came to our table was when we were basically done eating and only because I flagged her down after she checked on 4 other tables TWICE. She even looked annoyed that I was asking her for something. Originally I just wanted some lemon for my fish and the promised drink refill for my husband but at this time I was just ready to go so I just asked for a box. Maybe she forgot we were her table. Maybe she was sick that day and just trying to power through (she was really sweaty the last time we saw her). Or maybe she just didn't think we'd need much from her. I don't know. But it wasn't a pleasant experience. I was irritated most of the visit because I felt that I couldn't get her attention unless I shouted and I just wasn't going to do that. So I stewed in my irritation instead of enjoying my meal.
