Red Lobster Archives - Jen is on a Journey

I received a Red Lobster gift card for the purpose of this review. This post was made possible by Mom Spark Media. Thoughts are my own.

The first time I tried lobster was on our honeymoon. I know now it was the quality of the lobster and having been too chewy, I didn’t eat again until last year, 17 years later! This time around it nearly melted in my mouth as I dipped it warm butter, THAT is what is supposed to happen! When I heard about a Red Lobster campaign for Lobsterfest, the King of all promotions, I jumped on the opportunity to try it again. I mean it’s got to be their signature dish right and they’ve been serving it for over 40 years!

Lobsterfest is back at Red Lobster and they are featuring new mouthwatering lobster selections alongside classic favorites.

Nothing compares to the succulent, delectable flavor of a juicy lobster tail. At Red Lobster, we know our guests crave the best of the best when it comes to lobster, and Lobsterfest offers an exclusive opportunity to enjoy the delicious, high-quality lobster they love. We were the first restaurant to deliver fresh lobster nationwide, and our innovative process allows us to bring fresh, high-quality lobster straight from the coast of New England to guests all around the country.

At Red Lobster, you’ll realize they are lobster experts, they serve approximately 10 million pounds of lobster each year at more than 600 restaurants across North America.

New to the Lobsterfest menu this year are the following selections:

· New! Ultimate Surf and Turf®: A Maine lobster tail baked with crab-and-seafood stuffing paired with a peppercorn-seasoned grilled sirloin topped with Maine lobster meat in a citrus-hollandaise sauce. Served over mashed potatoes, roasted tomatoes and green beans.

· New! Dueling Lobster Tails: A roasted Maine lobster tail topped with tender shrimp in a creamy garlic sauce paired with a golden-baked Maine lobster tail with crab-and-seafood stuffing. Served over mashed potatoes, roasted tomatoes and green beans.
· New! Lobster in Paradise: A split Maine lobster tail fried in our signature coconut batter, spicy grilled shrimp and a lobster-and-shrimp bake topped with toasted crushed macadamia nuts.

My husband and I shared the Dueling Lobster Tails. For $30.99 we saw it delivered to the table next to us and realized it was going to be a big plate of food! Unlimited Cheddar Bay Biscuits came to the table frequently and the meal includes soup or salad as well. Our plate arrived and the tails were huge and the aroma made our mouths water! I dipped into the baked side and he chose the roasted side with shrimp. Amazing flavors, succulent seafood, fresh lobster, we took care of those tails and fast! The plate also comes with a heaping portion of mashed potatoes with sun-dried tomatoes and green beans.

Surf and Turf is definitely our next dish to enjoy on a return trip to Red Lobster, get over there before the end of the promotion and enjoy the best lobster fest around!

When is the last time you visited Red Lobster? The San Francisco bay area restaurants are newly remodeled, redesigned, and give you a feeling like you are on the east coast while dining in the west!

The new design is inspired by the New England coast and provides you a feeling of dining by the the seaside! The contrasting bright red paint with white trim stands out and it a pleasant change from the old colors scheme. New exteriors include a stone tower similar to architecture used throughout New England, ship lanterns to welcome guests after dark, and Adirondack-style chairs to encourage conversation and mingling while you wait!Interiors include fabulous prints that give me a taste of the views from the east coast, fabulous light houses, and sea worthy decor. Expanded seating offers large parties space and comfort, plus energy-saving LED lighting provides an inviting atmosphere.

To top it all off, all 700+ Red Lobster restaurants in North America are offering a new menu marking the most comprehensive transformation in the brand’s 44-year history! 60 %of the dishes are under $15 called Maine Stays and are available every day. 4-Course Feast is now permanently on the menu. There are 28 yummy non-seafood dishes as well, a 200% increase from before and to please everyone in your party! Plus those who are health conscious will appreciate the lighter-style options to compliment the long-time guest favorites!

The picky kids in my family can still enjoy appetizers and meals such as mozzarella sticks and mac and cheese, plus you can’t go wrong with a bowl of clam chowder!The cheddar bay biscuits are a delicacy onto themselves with their buttery flaky goodness!I enjoyed the wood-grilled chicken with shrimp, a perfect lunch portion with plump delicious shrimp.Crab linguini Alfredo’s sweet crab is a favorite of both myself and my husband!
