Cocktails On Grand - Ames

AMAZING LUNCH! Server Hanna was so nice and the lady manager was out talking to all the guest. Food was amazing!! Great lunch.

Service was mediocre at best. Food was fine. Tablets require a tip! Options were 18%, 20%, or 25% and the custom tip and no tip buttons conveniently don 't work. Selecting a tip was required to pay your bill. So irritating to have to tip for unworthy service!

Just left. Waited a solid hour for our food. Clam chowder was watery. Tasted off Almost no clams or potatoes. Had an oily substance floating on top. Fish tasted off didn 't finish. Biscuits were doughy. And the silverware was filthy. We used to frequent this restaurant. Never again.

This is a Hidden Gem in Ames, Have been here many times and can say I have always been Pleased with the food and service. Same Cozy nautical decor and the classic Lobster tank in the Lobby...think it has gotten smaller though...food is great as expected, cocktails are legit. Only reason for four stars is that they seated us way in the back when there are perfectly good tables, booths near the front...It worked out just fine as the table was near a speaker and they had some good music piped in. All the vittles were delightful and cheddar bay biscuts came hot and on time, yum. If you find yourself in Ames and need a great meal you may want to give Red Lobster another go!!

First red lobster experience I was pleased. Tried a pasta, lobster tail and snow crab. Everything was cooked correctly and the prices points very fair. Atmosphere was good and drinks were made correctly and nothing was a long wait. Seems to be well managed, catch me coming back!
