    We had a delightful experience at Molly's. We were seated on the outdoor patio and really enjoyed the atmosphere! All the dishes we have had are delicious. This time I tried the Hawaiian Crispy Chicken. It was perfect- flavorful and the perfect mix of textures. The desserts are also simply amazing. We tried the Key Lime Bars and the Chocolate Mousse- Wow- I would definitely recommend them. We will definitely be back!

    Food and drinks were great! Our server was fantastic! The only complaint that we have is when we arrived we were sat outside, which was fine. We asked our server if we could sit on the lower level for the better view. She told us that they couldn’t open that section due to being short staffed. Perfectly understandable! She said they might be able to open it up later. After the meal we wanted to stay and have a couple more drinks and noticed that people were beginning to sit on the lower level. So we asked our server again and we even said we will go to the bar ourselves and she wouldn’t need to check on us. She said that was fine! So we headed down there and another employee very rudely approached us and said we couldn’t sit anywhere down there due to all of the tables being reserved. How did it go from not available to anyone to being totally reserved as soon as it was opened? Didn’t make sense and that employee was NOT friendly at all.
