I went to Red Lobster for the first time. Here are 7 things that surprised me.

• I recently dined at Red Lobster in Times Square for the first time.
• I was surprised by the high prices and massive portion sizes.
• The decor and atmosphere were also fancier than I expected from a chain restaurant. 

I recently dined at Red Lobster in Times Square for the first time with a friend and was surprised by a few aspects of the experience.

The portion sizes were much bigger than I expected, but the prices of some menu items were also higher than I ever dreamed of when booking a table at a chain restaurant.
