I always have a great experience there but it seems that when there’s a big crowd the staff can’t handle it. The food and drinks were slow coming out, I think our waitress was a bit over exerted with working inside and outside the restaurant.

Those food and drinks were okay did not get to experience much seeing how the service took way to long and never came to are table once after our first drinks and entre. So not the best service.

This place doesn’t accept contactless payments which is very unfortunate. Luckily, the BOFA ATMs were right next to The Admiral. Food was ok. I’ve ordered all-american burger and steak sliders. Maybe I’m being too picky but the latter was too greasy. A drink (the name of which I don’t even remember, with a strawberry syrup) was too sweet for me as well. I left almost 2/3 of it. The waitress was friendly and helpful

Perfect for bar food after a busy day. Good place for families or to catch up with friends. Brussel sprouts were scrumptious as was the burger. Server Maxwell was friendly, competent and helpful.

The black napkins bleed ink when wet; they should rethink that.
