I enjoyed my experience at Rick's Easter Sunday. The restaurant was louder than usual due to it being Easter Sunday, however, we did get a seat by the window.... It was still very relaxing to see the water and watch the breeze catch the birds in the sky. It was breezy so the waves of the water were showing a little...so all in all, I think it would be absolutely wonderful for an early or late lunch type thing when it wasn't so busy. It is definately a place that I love to visit and the food is always great!.

My overall experience at Rick's Cafe Boatyard was not a good one. I really was not impressed. I was there with a group of ladies 15 to be exact. My party and I felt as if the waiter and manager were not receptive to the us and our needs at the time. Our food was NOT seasoned and my in particular was dry and the flavoring did not taste well at all. When I spoke to one of the managers he acted as if it was not a big deal and seemed to not be concerned about our tables overall impression of food. It took all night for the waiter to get our payments and receipts correct and let alone to us in a timely fashion. So Overall my birthday experience was a waste for over priced unseasoned Food & bad customer service. 2 THUMBS down by me.

Being on the water is great but the restaurant needs to be remodeled. Thought the food was fine but over priced.
