We dinned at this Red Lobster last Thursday. The only reason I am giving 2 stars is because the food was decent, besides our crab being frozen. other than that the experience as a whole was TERRIBLE. We sat at the bar and the 2 bartenders clearly didn't want to be there. Barley spoke to any of the guests. On their phones & talking with other employees instead of paying attention to their guests. My husband and I eat out most nights, we go to plenty of places where the food is average, but we keep coming back because of good service. So our business was lost about 15 minutes into us sitting down. We drove from the south side of Lakeland to dine, we asked for bread 10 times, it finally came when we were done with our entrees and paying our bill. While i see all tables around us getting it, but of course the uninterested bartender had a million excuses. When we asked for our bill, we waited as both bartenders walked passed our money waiting for change multiple times until i finally had to ask. If that didn't make it bad enough, the hostess, a sever, and a manager were telling their stories on when they decided to quit smoking, loudly. Not really the conversation you want to hear while you are trying to enjoy your 100$ average meal. As someone who has 9 years of restaurant experience, completely disappointed on multiple levels on how this restaurant was operating that night. Will never go back. Rude employees.
