The Red Lobster is one of a chain of seafood restaurants. The restaurant is sited on Times square, in the centre of New York. The restaurant is sited over several floors and has lift access. The food was fine and there are free refills for soft drinks, the restaurant was extremely busy and the foyer was no where near big... More

The food was good, but not worth the crazy high prices, not to mention the proportions were far too small. The only redeeming quality was how beautiful the restaurant was, and the fact that it was in Times Square, New York. But I won't be dining here again.

Tried this spot for the great location and was deeply disappointed with the food. Crab Stuffed Mushrooms arrived swimming in grease among others let downs. Nice building and decor but left feeling totally let down.

Honest food, great value and excellent service at Times Square. You pay 35 dollars a couple for a meal including salad, appetizer and entrée. It´s a lot of food! Pay attention on working hours cause they close early. If you like beer you may have problems cause they don´t have many options.

one of the best place for sea food and lunch, drink menu is brilliant, sea food is as they said "different" especially trio tables and chowder excellent price is moderate, if you are at the middle of the town for shopping and tired you should visit. even you can buy live lobster for your house.

I've eaten at the Red Lobster on International Drive in Orlando Florida and this experience sits right up alongside that one. Everything was quality. Food Service and atmosphere.

We went here for my Husband's birthday, there were quite a few people queued to go in so we thought it must be okay. "Wrong" There were far too many customers for the waiting staff it took ages to even get served, this wasn't the waiters fault they were doing their best. He ordered steak medium/rare hoping for a nice... More

Well located @ times square, this restaurant offers a typical red lobster standard - the waitress (Annie) was very ready to support us as long as we were choosing the meal and during our stay at the restaurant. The negative point: after checked in, we asked the clerk to be located at another table (better location) - the restaurant was... More

They had a lobster weeks or month when we were there and we had 2 different dishes and both of them were very good. It's a huge restaurant though so don't expect a romantic atmosphere but the service was very friendly and good. Wine was good and price all in all was very acceptable
