Yard House

I’m surprised I have not posted about this place before.

To start, we got the Poke Nachos. They are a bit spicy, but overall, very delicious.

For my main I got the Lobster Garlic Noodle. It was a sizeable portion, and although I told myself I would not finish it, I ended up eating the while thing.

We also ordered beers, but honestly, don’t quite remember which one (they were also Oktoberfest specials). In the past I’ve also had some of their sweet martinis and old fashions, which are all very good.

Update 5/5/2019: I got the Vodka shrimp pasta, which I’ve had several times before. It’s great because you can choose the smaller sized portion, which makes it a lighter entry. Definitely recommend it.

Also, we got the lumpia shanghai to start as an appetizer. Don’t remember if it was great, but I believe I would get it again.

Lazy Dog

Not my first time here, but this time around, I came here with my team.

Although this restaurant does not have as quite extensive menu compared to BJs, they do still have a full bar and I’m a fan of every dish I’ve had so far.

This time around, I ordered the sticky ribs and umami fried (fyi there is a similar order that has BBQ sauce. I didn’t get that one since I think the calorie difference was around 1000! And I still enjoyed the sticky ribs).

Update 4/6/2019: Ordered the Wok Teriyaki with shrimp. It tasted good, but I would probably still go with the ribs if you’re not trying to avoid meat. Also, got the wok calamari as an appetizer. Definitely I tell an app to order again. For dessert, got the banana pudding and s’mores cakes. I would get the s’mores cake again.

Red Lobster

Decided to go and check out Red Lobster.

Of course the biscuits were just as delicious as before.

The Caesar salad is what I remembered (not quality, but a good a appetizer to have a bit of).

For the main, I got the shrimp sea side trio with a side of lobster mashed potatoes. I gotta say, the lobster mashed potatoes wasn’t the greatest, and the shrimp Alfredo was not as good as I remembered (I think it wasn’t as creamy as usual). The garlic shrimp and breaded shrimp were as expected.

With that said, I’d still go back to Red Lobster.

Social

This place was really good. We got this lobster pasta spaghetti dish with an appetizer of wings, and the combo made my day. Also, I ordered a Pina Colada, and it turned out to be massive. Take a look:
