In th not too far rear view, Red Lobster was closing restaurants, having financial issues and reducing their menu.

Things have changed in recent months.  And they are able to bring back one of their most popular promotions.

THE RETURN OF LOBSTERFEST AT RED LOBSTER

If you are somoene who loves seafood, and especially lobster, this one is for you. Some people thought it might be gone forever, as Red Lobster had pulled back on their menu options.  Especially some of their all you can eat options. It was unclear if this would be back or not.  Luckily, it's back.

EXPANDED MENU ITEMS FOR THIS PROMOTION

And even more good news is that Red Lobster has now expanded their menu.  An announcement from their headquarters in Orlando, Florida states that there are quite a few new additions of both food and drink options.

  • The Lobstar: A triple-citrus margarita shaken with Hennessy VS and Grand Marnier, served with a custom, take-home Red Lobster claw shaker.
  • Shoreline Spritz: A refreshing spritz with Grey Goose, St-Germain Elderflower, fresh citrus and mint, topped with Wycliff Sparkling Wine.
  • Dockside Sipper: Casamigos Reposado shaken with fresh lime, honey and grenadine

This is definitely something that seafood lovers will want to look into.

  • NEW Create Your Own Lobster Lover’s Dream: Mix and match two or three lobster selections to create the Lobsterfest plate of your dreams, including:
    • NEW Lobster Pasta au Gratin: Maine and langostino lobster tossed with cavatappi pasta in a creamy lobster cheese sauce, topped with mozzarella cheese and baked until golden brown.
    • NEW Crispy Dragon Teriyaki Lobster: Crispy Maine Lobster Tail tossed in a sweet and spicy teriyaki sauce.
    • Perennial Favorites – Choose from Maine Lobster Tail, Rock Lobster Tail or Lobster & Shrimp Linguini
  • NEW Lobsterfest Duo: Two “LobsterChops” – grilled, split Maine lobster tails wrapped around fresh sea scallops – paired with a roasted Maine tail and served with two sides. If it sounds familiar, it’s because it's a classic returning after 18 years!
  • NEW Lobsterfest Boil: A lobster-forward twist on the viral seafood boil: Maine lobster tails, a dozen shrimp, corn, and red potatoes, served tableside in a steaming shake-and-serve bag with your choice of flavor and spice level.

THIS IS ONLY FOR A LIMITED TIME AT RED LOBSTER

Lobsterfest is going on now for a limited time.  And if you miss it, then you will have to wait a whole year before some of these items will come back.  Of course you can always order lobster at a restaurant that is called Red Lobster, but not all of the special items are available all of the time.
