    The food was excellent. It is reasonably priced for a seafood restaurant. We will definitely come back again.

    We shared the steamed clams and blackened ahi salad. So much ahi- 10, 4 inch slices. Plenty of deliciousness!

    Man oh man. I’ll try to be nice. The waitress is nice and friendly. The food took 40 mins to arrive I got the seared ahi and it was cooked to death. The salad was drenched. The pasta lobster carbonara was great. The fish chips were great The oysters were great. The calamari was stale

    One employee was VERY VERY RUDE. We were seated right next to the servers station. One of the servers BADLY NEEDS training on customer service. After waiting our food for 30 minutes we wanted to follow up on our food, although she was not our server, since she was the one at the servers' station, we tried to get her attention by waving at her and said hello loud enough for her to hear us. She turned around look at us and gave us a blank look like "don't bother me" then walked away. SO SO SO RUDE.

    When dining in a gambling town (I.E., Reno, Las Vegas, etc.) you usually can't expect good service. This establishment could be four or five stars but choose not to be. Although, we had prime time reservations and the restaurant wasn't half full, we still had to wait about 10 mins for a table. Our drink order was taken in a timely fashion. My martini was served without spillage, cold and well prepared. More and more restaurants are rushing their customers. I ordered oysters on the half shell which were nicely presented and with good flavor. I wasn't half finished with my oysters when the server brought our main course. She expected me to move my plate of oysters to make room for my entree. I flatly told my server, I wasn't ready for my main course, which of course elicited a dirty look from her. This is a gutsy move because you are setting yourself up for someone toying with your food, your plate being baked under a sunlamp while waiting to be served and or served when the server is good and ready. These kind of establishments dictate the pace of delivery and if you interrupt them, you the customer, will often pay the price. As expected, after finishing my oysters, she made me wait until the others in our party were near finished with their entree. When my entree was delivered, she neglected to take away the oyster plate. The server never asked if I wanted another drink. Usually, at this point, I give up on the server. I won't reward the establishment by ordering another drink or desert (This is where most earn their profits). My fish taco's were plentiful, fresh, and well made. The food here is very good with the service being borderline poor. Waiters and Waitresses: The value of your tip depends on the value of your service. More often than not, despite the fact the food may be good, if the service is bad, I won't return.

    Had a reservation at 6:15 pm and it was never honored. Sat in the bar area to wait and have a cocktail. After an hour of waiting and no table, the bartender, Shannon, offered up a table in her bar area so we took it. If it weren’t for Shannon, the experience would have been 0 stars. The restaurant area had no one dedicated to the host/hostess area. Restaurant was chaotic and very unorganized.

    Super busy for no apparent event last night...waitstaff overwhelmed, no bussers? Seemed unprepared and disorganized. Took my fave shrimp and grits off the menu...recent? Food was ok, not great. Picked the wrong day and time I guess...have had better meals and definitely better service in the past.

    The restaurant was fairly busy - We had a warm welcome - Virginia provided Her usual great service. We dined on Lobster Raviolis, a Wedge Salad, & Clam Chowder with a Dinner Salad. My Granddaughter and I shared Oysters on the Half Shell - They were super fresh and tasty. The usual great Dinner.

    Awesome food and excellent service! Or is it excellent food and awesome service? They’ve made some changes- some good and some not so good but tolerable. But they haven’t changed the great service we get every time we are there. I wish they would put the fish and chips back on the happy hour menu!
