   Stopped by as it was the closest available. We got seated immediately. Wait staff was friendly and attentive. Ordered fish tacos & burgers, all were good. Was a bit spendy, but a bit expected in a shopping center like this. Live music was a treat

   Wait to get a table was one hour, but they called us sooner than that. We sat outside and it was a bit noisy. Waitress was super nice, but service was a bit slow. The food was excellent, we had fresh catch sandwich. It was fairly expensive but not bad compared to other restaurants.

   Don’t waste your time. Restaurant would not honor our open table reservation - apparently they no longer use it although we had received a confirmation the day prior. Several parties around us all had the same experience. Hostess had a terrible attitude and was not even slightly apologetic. Once we finally got seated an hour after our reservation time, we found the food had sadly gone downhill since our last visit.

   First night on vacation. Had made reservation through Open Table. When we arrived, the hostess told us they had stopped taking reservations, even though we were confirmed via Open Table. She was honorable and put us at the head of their long wait list. We were able to sit outside, which was our preference. To say the ambience was energetic would be an understatement! However, the entertainer that night was essentially a blues guitarist and singer—fabulous! The food was fun and good. It perfectly fit the scene. We both had fresh Ono, mine was messy but wonderful fish tacos. Our waitress was pleasant and efficient. Overall, a perfect first night meal after a long plane ride.

   We had a 5 pm reservation. It was not busy. It still took a few minutes for someone to come and seat us. Someone brought us water right away and that was the last contact we had with staff. We waited 15 minutes with waiters going to other tables to greet or deliver food. No one even bothered to stop by and say I will be with you in just a minute. Attentive service even if you are busy is very easy, and they were not busy.

    I wanted to like this place but it just wasn’t that good. The menu was totally different in store price wise and options wise then listed here. We still decided to give it a shot and everything we ordered was extremely bland. No flavor whatsoever. Service was friendly enough but nothing spectacular. In the end I couldn’t believe I spent so much on a meal I could barely eat. Definitely better options in the area

    We were very disappointed to see our server not wearing her mask properly. She often had it dangling around one ear and was speaking directly to customers and then pouring water and over food. I politely gestured to her mask as she approached our table which was met with an eye roll. She did put it on but left us feeling very uncomfortable. The irony is that the hostess was ensuring all customers wore masks while walking to the tables but no staff seem to speak to this server.

    Food was decent but it took us flagging down a waitress after 20 minutes to even order. Order wasn’t quite right but after waiting so long and never seeing our waitress again, we just went with it and paid the check. There are better options in the area.

    I was so impressed by the food!!! I will admit I did not expect much from a shopping center restaurant but everything was incredibly tasty. Fish, in particular, was incredibly fresh; and A’Bay’s actually prepared it in a way that it tasted even better than some of the far more expensive, highly reviewed dining options that I have eaten at on the island. Staff was very friendly and efficient. You are eating in a shopping center but a really nice, high end one still don’t expect any ocean or sunset views. Frankly, I would happily skip the ocean view and drive to get for their food anytime. Delicious!

    Four of us ordered. They brought 3 dinners and the 4th didn’t come out until the first 3 were already finished. The waitress stayed away from the table as she knew it was her fault as she had messed up the order. By then it was sent back with a very unhappy diner. No excuse for what happened with no apologies or management intervention . Won’t go back as the other meals weren’t anything special. Dried overcooked fish, no flavor….

    Overall it was a good experience. The food was good with one exception. I ordered the fish tacos. They came with homemade tortillas. Which I was really looking forward to. However, the tortillas were doughy and undercooked.

    Food was good quality, pub food (but better). Serving staff was friendly and helpful without being overbearing. Live music really added to the ambiance. Overall, a sweet island restaurant..... Oh, and we accidentally left our CC at the end of the evening but it was put aside and we were easily able to retrieve it the next day. THANK YOU!!

    Was the worst experience! They had numerous people who made reservations, they checked them in and did not honor them. They said they don’t take reservations, jake the manager extremely rude. I might of beloved their rational however when people who came up without reservations that new staff they sat them immediately. Never eat here!!

    Very average food and some dishes tasted bland. Had the fish tacos and they were tasteless, the fish was dry and the tortillas were somewhat stale. Salad was fine. The convenience of the location is what brings people here but even the drinks are not very good. Service is friendly.

    Don’t dine inside. I would not have but there were no other tables, despite having a 5:30 reservation. The noise level was so loud I couldn’t hear anything my 3 family members said. It was uncomfortably hot. The sun was shining in our eyes and even sunglasses weren’t much help, but when we asked to lower the blinds, we were told they had taken down the blinds on that window. They were out of many menu items (at 5:30) and the menu is not huge to begin with. Servers were very nice but seemed to be overwhelmed. Food was just ok.
