    Thus was a great restaurant first time my brother and I were here. The saxophone player was a great add-on during the holidays and he was wonderful. We had a wonderful waitress from New York Gia and she was awesome friendly, knowledgeable, and very efficient. I would highly recommend going back to this restaurant the food was outstanding along with the great service.

    Food was 1 hour late. Orders were wrong. One order did not arrive. One order was so greasy and oily we sent it back. Other tables were an hour plus waiting. Server was doing his best but there was no food to serve. No Lobester tacos anymore. New menu is crap.

    We came for Mother’s Day. Nowhere does it mention it’s buffet only. No option to order off the menu, they let you know when you arrive. Still we stayed, I was worried about finding an opening last minute anywhere else. The food was very underwhelming for the price and had been sitting out for awhile. The tenderloin was good, but that’s about it. Call ahead and make sure they are offering their menu.

    Everything was great except the margaritas. I rarely drink alcohol and usually they are too strong. This one literally was mix and ice.. no alcohol. Very disappointing

    We drove up from Pinellas county to take mom to brunch for Easter. Upon arrival were told by hostess that restaurant no longer uses OpenTable. So our reservations were not valid. Put our names on one hour wait list and sat at the bar. Were then told that they only offered AYCE buffet bc it is Easter. I checked the restaurant website and didn’t see that event listed anywhere. Very bummed, left and went to Harry’s across the street. Before we left we did ask for the manager, and were told he was cooking in the kitchen (???). Asked the bartender to pass along the message that they should remove their restaurant from open table .
