It’s Lobsterfest season at Red Lobster and they want everyone to experience the best of the best. That is why they have brought back some all time menu favorites and added new items that will for sure have you wanting to come back for more. Red Lobster’s Lobsterfest will hook you up for sure!

We started with some drinks, every attendee received two tickets for drinks of their choice. My choices were:

Other drinks in our table were:

A premium blend of Absolut, Tanqueray, Bacardi and Patron Citronge.

Our menu consisted on three appetizers, 5 entrees and 3 desserts. A variety of fresh food with sea food full of flavor and not one ingredient competed with another. The entire menu worked harmoniously. This is no doubt the best lobster fest I have ever experienced. But, don’t take my word for it, go out to a near Red Lobster and try the Lobsterfest menu for yourself. You’ll be the judge!
