Guest favourites, like the Lobster Lover’s Dream, featuring a succulent roasted rock lobster tail and sweet split Maritime lobster tail, fire-roasted and served with Lobster-and-Shrimp Linguine Alfredo, are also on the menu again this year. And, guests can still choose from the ever-popular Ultimate Feast®, Fire-Grilled Lobster, Shrimp and Salmon, the Seaport Lobster and Shrimp, and the Roasted Maritime Lobster Bake.
“With the largest selection of lobster dishes ever on the menu, there really is something for every seafood lover – whether it’s sweet Maritime lobster, roasted rock lobster tail or lobster paired with steak, shrimp, pasta or fish,” said Dustin Hilinski, Executive Chef and Director, Culinary at Red Lobster. “Lobsterfest is an exciting time of year where we get to showcase what we do best and deliver the ultimate seafood dining experience for our guests.”
Guests can make any Lobsterfest celebration even more special with an appetizer, cocktail or dessert. The NEW!

As a complement, guests can choose from two refreshing, fruit-based cocktails – NEW! Island Lobster Punch or the NEW! Lobsterfest® Fizz – both served in collectible Coastal glass wear. To complete the meal, Red Lobster is offering a twist on a classic favourite with the NEW! Bananas Foster Cheesecake, featuring two slices of caramel cheesecake topped with warm, frshly sliced bananas, caramel and spiced rum and served with vanilla ice cream and candied pecans.
