Did you know beforehand that the items were cooked in a bag? A good test is someone will cook something both ways and let you tell them which is which.
I had a family member who worked at one RL location and that's how they cook it. This was years ago, but I doubt the prices had changed much.
I expect to see a big shakeout in the restaurant business.
The market wages now required won't support the low prices designed into their business models. A restaurant selling fish is really in trouble because fish is too expensive.
We haven’t dined at a Red Lobster in probably 10 years. Heard just this week that a few will close in CA. Wish them well.
I had it once in the past 10 years, probably 5 years ago. It definitely wasn't bad at all, but was nothing special. Not something I'd pay a premium price for, and with the way things are priced these days, including labor, a restaurant serving seafood and fish as their staple has no choice but to charge high prices. And... that defeats the purpose of Red Lobster. It would be like paying premium prices for Olive Garden.
shrimp scampi 15.99
mashed potato side
house salad 2.99
Pepsi 3.99
strawberry cheesecake 11.99
With tip, it was $46. Great service. Food was very good. The cheesecake was the largest piece I was ever served in a restaurant. Lots of strawberries and cream.
But, not many people. We were there from noon until 1:30 and there weren't many people especially for a Friday. I would hate to lose it since we always have a good time there.

My bet is we're about to see many closings.
The customers are paying for the wait staff, and food has gone up, as has transportation and contact
personnel. Some restaurants divide the tips among some of the other staff. There are far too many
restaurants serving mediocre food, the good ones stay the other close. As soon as one closes another
one starts up, a never-ending cycle. The largest increase is the rent.
