It’s (one of many) pretty yuk chain. In my 20s I probably wouldn’t have minded. Later I’d be internally going “really?” unless it were some area that really didn’t have good alternatives.

Is it about "how clean is the place" or about "how clean is the table while we are/after we are done eating"?

I've been in the US plenty of times, but I'm a burger guy, so I made sure I tried all burger chains and as many (indi) restaurants I could. But I've never been in a Red Lobster. I do understand though that lobster-eating can be messy - thus the bib.

I can also picture that cracking lobster 'body-parts' is not the most romantic setup.

It's not really about either of those things. Some people look down on Red Lobster because it's more middle-class/working-class than they are.
