![]() Very happy indeed, better than the regular shrimp scampi for sure. My dad, my husband and I had the brown butter shrimp scampi with lots of garlic and tomatoes. My father and I had the baked lobster pasta, my husband and mom went with the Cajun shrimp linguini. You choose one pasta type, select one shrimp specialty and pick one grilled item. We all ended up with the bargathon seafood trios they currently have on offer. My parents and husband seemed pleased with their salads but I just hate iceberg, it is why I order Caesar. My Caesar salad came on iceberg which was not good at all but that was really the only misstep and I assume they were just out of romaine or hadn’t prepped it (we were first to dine). The crack biscuits were of course artery clogging delights. The calamari was ok but I liked the fried broccoli and peppers way more personally. You cannot go wrong with the coconut shrimp, that sauce is perfect. ![]() We got some calamari and veggies as well as some coconut shrimp. Unless a place has diet lemonade or Sprite Zero or some such she is resigned to jazzing water up with a couple of lemons. For her this is a rare treat when dining away from home. This also means my mom who cannot consume too much sugar and absolutely no caffeine could have a drink that was not water. One thing I will start with, they have diet raspberry lemonade here and it is really tasty. They need to use him to train the rest of the staff for sure. He made my mom feel all special and kept us all smiling. You can tell he enjoys his job, a rare occurrence in my vast dining experience. His pacing was perfect, he knew the food and he took any curve balls we threw at him in stride. IMO this man should be making much bigger bucks in a tony establishment. A good server can make or break you and Heath is a shiny five star guy wasted on a chain. Friendly, fun, helpful, patient and on the freaking ball. A nice roomy table and the stellar server named Heath. Lesson learned, I cannot have my dad make any simple inquiries. We just had to show up as soon as they opened and it would be fine. I called back and after a very pleasant chat with a manager all was straightened out. He felt like we could not go after the first call did not offer a whit of a guarantee of seating. Add in Dad on a cane and yeah we cannot be milling around for an hour or anything. Between my mother’s insulin schedule and her Meniere’s anti dizziness and anti nausea pills it can be a delicate balance. My dad called ahead to make sure we could get a table. I figured even if it sucked, it wouldn’t put my finances back by much. Sadly the Unilocal event was so long ago I am now shamefaced that I apparently never clean out my purse. I had a forty dollar gift card burning a hole in my pocket and a couple of free app coupons still in my purse from the Unilocal event. It was Mother’s Day and well hello I am not a mother, she is, so it was her pick. I tried a return visit that was an utter disaster and suddenly was again not a particular fan. We had gone to a Unilocal event though that was very nice indeed and it made me reconsider a bit. Food snobs feel free to skip this one… I am not a huge fan of Red Lobster normally.
