We would willingly wait 40 minutes again...

What a fantastic evening the non-allergic husband and I had on Saturday night. We traveled to Red Lobster, a restaurant we both like, to have dinner and then see a movie (an actual date!). Though we waited close to 40 minutes to be seated, the meal far exceeded our expectations.
Our waiter was a young man with plenty of pluck and personality. He responded politely to my requests of no butter and no seasoning on anything, and even agreed to rustle me up a plain roll somewhere in the back (your allergic diner cannot eat the cheddar bay biscuits, delicious as they may be). Everything came out quickly (we had our entrees within 15 minutes of ordering!)and correctly. There was no butter anywhere on my plate, nor did the plate look as if it had been hosed down because butter had accidentally been placed on it (don't laugh, this has happened many times at many different restaurants). We even enjoyed one of their specials, a lobsterita (a margarita in a glass big enough for two). We had so much fun, we missed our movie! Thank you Red Lobster, for a wonderful Saturday night. We'll be back.
