I returned to this quite restaurant each time I had business in Silcone Valley. Not the nearest seafood restaurant from Palo Alto but I always love Red Lobster thus worth the drive. They have a lobster feast this time. I picked the Grill Harbor Lobster with hearty serving of scampi and prawns kebab on stick for $25.

I have had frustrating service in the past at this establishment, so we decided to order to go food. I placed a call ahead of time so I would minimize the wait, unfortunately they put me on hold for 12 mins. I actually was able to get into the car and drive there to place the order before someone answered... More

Red Lobster used to be heavy on the fried seafoods, like fried shrimp and breaded fried fish, but went here recently, and most of their food now is either grilled or boiled (for the lobster). Seems they are making more of an effort to be more healthy in their servings. The prices also seem better on some things. Except for... More

Red Lobster is on our list of regular favorite restaurants, and we end up going here every month or two. As with any restaurant, some waiters are better than others, and some dishes are better than others, but overall we really like this place. I particularly like the Shrimp Linguini Alfredo. A half-order is plenty of food for me, along... More

Close to Embassy Suites. Great biscuits. Plus, it was one of the few restaurants that were still serving dinner after 9 pm! For people like us who are from Hawaii, that is like eating at 6 pm.

Been to this particular Milpitas Red Lobster for years. The seafood is getting poorer. Not going back any time soon.

I have been to this location many times and the service is consistently good and so is the food. I usually order around the menu and I have never been disappointed once with the food. If you order a garden salad to start, then you get a crisp and fresh salad. If you order a drink, you get a refreshing... More

Red Lobster is a very busy restaurant, very casual and medium priced. They often have specials on sea food/lobster which is good value. They can accomodate large family sized groups. We went on a weekend on my birthday. If you arrive before 6pm there is very little wait but after 6:30 there can be a long wait. They don't take... More

Presently, Red Lobster is running a 4 course meal deal for $15. There are I believe 7 entree choices, 2 soup and 2 salad choices, and 3 dessert choices. I love their Parrot Bay coconut shrimp so I always get that. My husband has ordered the seafood linguine (SO large it is 3 dinners worth) and the chicken alfredo (also... More
