For some reason my dad has been pushing for Red Lobster for the past 6 months. \"David, you just came home after two years, let's go to Red Lobster\". \"David, it's your birthday, let's go celebrate at Red Lobster\". \"You know Red Lobster has a four course meal for $15\". Finally the day has come where dad gets to be the king. Father's Day was the chance to take him to the place where he has been wanting to go to and get it out of his system. Sadly, on the way home, the conversation was centered around how cheap they were with the quality of seafood and how this place used to be the it place to go.\n\nThe four course meal is a deal at $15. You get a choice of bacon potato soup or New England clam chowder to begin. It is followed by a garden or Caesar salad. The starters are accompanied by their cheddar cheese biscuits. At this point I was full and there were still two courses to go. My parents and I ordered the butter herb chicken and shrimp while my sister got the mango habenero coconut shrimp. I found my dish to be extremely salty. I had a few bites, but the rest was taken home to be eaten with white rice or something bland. The two chicken breast and eight small shrimp was more than I was expecting at this price. My sister's shrimp platter came with two skewers of grilled shrimp as well as a nest of golden fried morsels. This was the better of the two dishes as I was not gulping down cups of water after each bite. With most of it packed away, I was not feeling dessert, but it came with the meal. Three slices of key lime pie and an order of the cinnamon donuts came out. The key lime was not as tart as I am used to, but the balance of sweet to sour was good. The donuts were a little on the dry side, but was not sickeningly sweet.\n\nAfter this experience, maybe my dad will stop insisting on Red Lobster and we can go back to Chinatown for less. Anyways, it was a nice Father's Day.
