Descriptive Essay On Red Lobster

Improved Essays
After a night out my friends and I decided to treat ourselves and eat out. We debated about where to go until we finally agreed on Red Lobster. A restaurant whose slogan is “where we see food differently”. Being an establishment that prides itself on serving fresh seafood and excellent service every guest should expect this when choosing them as their dining option. However, upon entering the Erie Red Lobster, you are welcomed by a cliché atmosphere, compiled with service that lacks hospitality, and food that has poor quality. As soon as we walked through the door we were greeted and put on a wait. The host told us it would only be a short wait “10-15 minutes”. While we waited in the lobby, which is cramped area with only two wooden benches …show more content…
The host walked us back to our table and it was not even set yet. The table looked as if all they did was removed the dirty dishes and set the table top book back up. There were still water rings on the table. A thick layer of butter covered the one end and chunks of food were all over it. The seats were just as bad as the table and I had to use my hand to brush off the seat in order to sit down. The host apologized for there being no silver wear on the table and got us some. She never said anything about the table or the …show more content…
She started by welcoming us and taking our drink order. Never once in her approach did she tell us her name or give us any recommendations. After returning to the table with the drinks she handed them out and did not give me mine. She apologized and got my drink right away. Following this she asked “Are there any questions?”, and I asked if there were any promotions or specials. She responded with “no I’m sorry we don’t have specials”. I knew this was not true because Red Lobster always has some kind of special going on. I managed to find where it was on my own with no help from my server, it was Endless Shrimp. I don’t understand why the company puts it on the back of the first page at the very bottom, using small print. It’s almost seems like they don’t want you to find it. After ordering our server told us she would be back shortly with the salads and biscuits, five minutes passed and she returned with our salads. She then told us that there were no biscuits ready at the moment and that she would have them out as soon as they came out of the oven. Time passed and we finished our salads, still no bread. We then saw our server coming with what seemed to be our food. She set the tray down and began to auction off our food as though she didn’t know what we ordered. She got all the plates onto the table and then walked away. She never asked if everything looked okay, said if the bread was still coming, or if we

    For starters, space we will turn their weaknesses into a strength. Since we are attempting to appeal to a younger demographic, our bar and menu selections will include hard liquor drinks for those customers who have a photo ID. In my opinion, red lobster’s single biggest weakness is its limited scope and lack of opportunity for expansion. They simply do not have crossover appeal. This is why I suggested that our restaurant incorporate the use of games and activities in hopes of widening our reach and giving our customers that little bit of extra value for their money.…

    How the Lobster Became Fancy is an article written by Daniel Luzer and published by Pacific Standard Magazine. Although this article is intended to be an informal magazine article, it presents a lot of valid points on why David Foster Wallace wrote about “Consider(ing) the Lobster”, and supports the argument with other sources and a well-spoken opinion. The article is presented in a timeline, beginning from the start of when the lobster was first eaten as food – in the year 1622 as a food for prisoners and the extreme impoverish – and finishes to where we are now, and why we continue to treat lobster as a luxury food. Its conclusion and purpose is very clearly stated in the bold letters near the start of the article: “Lobster might seem to taste better to us because it’s so expensive.” (Luzer 4).…

    For decades, humans has advance in many aspects of nature as a result of fear or guilt. In both "Food Inc." and "Consider the Lobster," we are presented the advancement humans has gone when dealing with the food industry. "Food Inc." the fear of workers of losing their farms has advanced them in working in conditions that is not beneficial for the animals as they go through the painful process of processing the animals as food; in "Consider the Lobster," chefs and your ordinary cook develop a sense of guilt as they go through the process of cooking a lobster. Both topics intertwine when dealing with workers and chefs and how their convictions blur the line between mortality and ethics. What evolution does a human go through that allows them…

    Before proceeding to read “Considering the Lobsters” by David Foster Wallace the title of this article caught me by surprise, it is evident that this reading was going to be about Lobsters of course but it makes you think, what about them? Maybe the history of lobsters, where they came from, or maybe even the decrease or increase in population of these sea creatures. Wallace organizes this article starting out stating everything an individual needs to know about the (MLF) Maine Lobster Fest that occurs every year and is open to people who indulge on lobster. He then goes into great detail about specific types of lobster and the different kinds there are, how they are prepared, and even the utensils they are to be eaten with.…

    Survival and vulnerability are two themes which appear totally independent of one another, yet both are universal human experiences which often coexist and influence an individual’s behaviour. It is human instinct to survive in dangerous situations, to protect oneself from potential harm. It is also human instinct to hide one’s vulnerability from others out of fear of those vulnerabilities being used against them. In Russell Banks’s short story “Lobster Night” he explores the relationship between gender politics, survival, and vulnerability when Stacy and Noonan reveal personal stories of weakness and survival to each other. Despite this newfound connection built between the two characters when both Stacy and Noonan expose their vulnerability,…

    The second objective is to adjust the size limit of individuals. As stated in the threats, the average size of caught lobster has been steadily decreasing over the past decades. The implementation of MPAs will also increase the size of the lobster caught due to the ability for them to mature, the reduction of large individuals being caught needs to be addressed. To combat this i recommend two proposals that regions can implemented. One is the restricting of catching very large individuals or only preserve the large females, due to their ability to produce a much greater amount of eggs compared to their smaller individuals (table 1).…

    People usually go to a restaurant not only for the convenience; the most important element is that the restaurant has delicious food, which they cannot make it at home; also other restaurant cannot make that taste.
