The last time I was at one (2 years ago) it was no better than getting microwaved food that had been dumped on a plate. The reason Red Lobster has been low market was because they made cost cutting choices in hiring, food selections, food quality and always went with the WalMart lowest price advertising strategy. They are going to have to change everything from the uniforms of the waiters to the decor in these restaurants to the quality and freshness of the food to get my money. (globalization is probably allowing them cheap farm raised south american fish at cheap prices that make this makeover possible) I understand their profit motives for trying to push it up-market, but I have to doubt the ability of the actual restaurants to deliver on a better experience.
