    Unfortunately, Taco Night at the Seminole Pub was a bust. The food arrived cold, was bland and just not good at all. The chicken chipotle taco was flavorless and overloaded with sour cream. The shrimp tacos had a very small type of shrimp that was rubbery and did not have much flavor at all. Again, the shrimp tacos were overloaded with sour cream and some other kind of sauce. The best thing I can say about the dishes were that the corn tortillas were fresh. Also had the chips and queso which was the star of the night. Again, it was a low bar given the bad tacos on a supposed Taco Night, but the queso was served hot and had a nice spice level. The chips were also very good and seemed to be made in house. Great corn taste and very fresh tasting. The deconstructed elotes were not good. The corn was not fresh and was obvioulsy frozen corn given the fact that there was a lot of water in the dish and how soggy the corn was. The dish was more of a corn soup or creamed corn than anything else and was quite bland and loaded with some kind of flavorless sauce. Our server Ben was very attentive, and kept the cocktails coming, which was a good thing.

    This is the place for a high quality meal and incredible views from the patio. We enjoyed the prime filet, fish of the day (halibut) and brick chicken entrees. The 10th Tee cocktail was phenomenal as well.
