The biscuits are great, do not pass those up. The pasta dishes are never as good as the regular seafood dishes. If you like fish, the Tilapia and the Snapper are great. I hated the coconut shrimp. Can you tell I eat there a lot?

Just be polite, and read the menu. If you do have questions, just ask your server. They get something like 2 weeks of training. Read the appetizer section first since the first time your server appears they'll ask if they can interest you in drinks and an appetizer. You don't have to get the appetizer, it's just an option. When you order, they'll probably ask you what side dishes you want. Like "the soup or the salad?" That should all be in the menu. Then just relax, have dinner, if you want to take anything unfinished home, just ask the server for a to-go or carry-out box when you get your check. Pay the bill, leave a 15% tip, and leave!
Congrats on going to Red Lobster! You'll be fine.

Well first just so you know, Red Lobster specializes in Seafood!! Besure that you get an order of bread, they have some of the best biscuits around!! Your server will first ask what will you have to drink, then any appetizers!! While they are getting your drinks and/or appetizers, take this time to review the menu and decide what you would like and when the server returns, place your order!! Have fun and enjoy!!

look over the menu carefully....be polite to the waitress or waiter...use your manners and etiquette. I don't care if you are dining at Red Lobster, Burger King or Spagos! You should always carry yourself respectfully in public. Nothing is more unappealing to fellow diners than someone eating like a pig.
Have fun. Leave a modest tip--10-15% if the service is worthy....perhaps more...I usually leave between 15-20% tip.

Excellent choice for your first time out. Seeing that you are new to this order something that does not need to be taken apart (I'm referring to still in the shell). Lots to choose from so this should not be a hardship. Be polite and don't talk on your cell phone, people hate that. Have fun but don't get loud or over the top, you'll do just fine.

Just use good manners, be courteous to the waiter/waitress, if you need something like ex napkins or a drink refill ask for everything you can at one time. Don't ask for a drink refill, then ask for napkins, then ask for more sauce. And most importantly, tip at least 15% unless the waitress was very, very rude to you. But if she did her job, then at least 15%.
Remember you are in a public place, act accordingly

Always tip your server at least 20% of the total bill. They deserve every penny of it. If they don't, let the manager know. He or she will take care of you.

Don't send anything back more than 1 time unless you want the cooking staff to do something nasty to it.

(the best way to calculate the tip is to double the tax!)
