Red Lobster Bar & Grill (Brandon - Florida)

Red Lobster Bar & Grill

Red Lobster in Brandon is a traditional set up American diner themed on the sea and bulging with lobster tanks, badly made model yachts and waiting staff would hastily wander round with fixed smiles. The food is very good, the service is unnerving. The staff plonk a salad down before any other course and snatch it back up again before you've placed a fork. The drinks here however are mega and beat TGI friday's hands down. The cocktails espcially are mountainous scultures that peak above the table and smile on its drinker. The actual bar part of the venue snakes around the the left from the main entrance and is literally an assembly of high bar stools crammed into a fairly small room with a good selection of drinks.

Overall the place would make for a good night out if the servcie wasn't so fast and uncomfortable. Food, drinks and bill are all served up and taken away so quickly that a good night decends into half an hour of delicacy and empty gestures. This bar would be far better if the staff didn't ask if you are finished with a pint after only drinking half of it - 3/10 for the amazing cocktails and this is of course excluding the cuisine.
