there is almost always a wait at this place, but its usually worth it. The service is good, most staff are friendly. Its pretty clean even when busy. The food is very tasty and we have tried many different dishes. They have a lot of high calorie dishes so you have to be careful esp when they bring out those... More

I've ordered the Shrimp Tacos on two recent visits and they are scrumptious! There are 3 soft tacos presented nicely in a holder ~ drizzled with a spicy sauce (mildly spiced - not overbearing). The dish also comes with rice and veggies. It's just the right amount of food and it's oh so good! There's a nice portion of shrimp... More

It had been quite awhile since I had some lobster; when I stopped into the Poughkeepsie Red Lobster, a very attractive restaurant, after checking out the menu; I decided to go a little crazy for me; ordered a "split" (small bottle of champagne) and a dozens oysters. I had not had oysters in years; well, they were the best...like being... More

Despite their advertising specials, those are usually limited. It may be me; but the quality of food does not seem to be as great as it once was. They appear to use a lot of salt in everything. Depending on when you go and the chef's whim, they are not receptive to complaints. Servers are nice; but try getting hold... More

We stopped here with my brother's family after a concert. Got a table for 8 of us quickly. Food was very good, better since Olive Garden took over. Proportions were a little smaller than expected, nothing left over to take home. I thought prices were a little high for the all sea food dishes. Service was very good too. May... More

We called on a Friday to find out how long the wait would be to be seated for dinner. We've been hoping to go for months but usually hear "30 to 40minute wait for a table for 4". Today we heard "15 minutes for a table for 2", so we decided to go. The parking lot was almost entirely full... More

Food is good for a chain restaurant. Wait staff is accommodating. There was a large group and we weren't rushed.

Haven't been here in years and thought we would give it a try. We found the waitress to be friendly, attentive and knowledgable but the rest was down hill. The seafood was tasteless. The coconut shrimp appeared to be left over from lunch and rewarmed. The dining room was noisey with famiies out with the kids. I will not be... More
