Red Lobster is bringing the taste of New Orleans to Cherry Hill for Restaurant Week.
Among the four entrees featured on the restaurant’s menu is a half-salmon New Orleans, topped with shrimp in a spicy Tabasco burre Blanc and garnished with pico de gallo.
The combination of the fish, sauce and sides gives the dish a powerful kick. The salmon is blackened and cooked fresh on the grill.
“We always serve fresh fish, never frozen,” General Manager Andrew Dolan said.
Serving fresh ingredients is very important to Red Lobster. Dolan said it has helped make dishes such as the shrimp linguini Alfredo and the wood grilled tacos with shrimp or tilapia so popular. Both dishes are available for Restaurant Week, with the shrimp linguini a dinner choice and the tacos a lunch option.
“Our top priority is to have fresh, delicious food,” Dolan said.
Customers can also try the lobster pizza as a lunch option. The thin-crust pizza includes bits of lobster mixed with mozzarella cheese.
Red Lobster isn’t just about seafood, however. Two of its four dinner options are meat entrees. Visitors can try the Portobello chicken with wine sauce or a sirloin steak with a choice of two sides.
One of Red Lobster’s goals with the Restaurant Week promotion is to showcase a menu with variety.
“We have dishes for anyone with any type of taste buds,” Dolan said. “We don’t just cook seafood.”
All three-course dinners include either a Caesar or garden salad and a dessert. The lunch option also includes a salad.
Red Lobster is located on the westbound side of Route 38 just east of the Cherry Hill Mall.
