    I upgraded my meal and was very disappointed in what I got for the money. The veggies were not cooked and the meat portion was tiny and over cooked for what was paid. Absolutely incredible service and the bay is great scenery, the cost and the less than average experience with the food makes it hard to give high ratings.

    I loved taking my husband here! He turned 22 and although the majority of the crowd was older, it just meant for us that it wasn't a party boat and the noise level was fine. The food was amazing and I've already recommended others to go!

    It was a fun brunch and I definitely recommend it for people to try. The service is great. The food could have been better, but we were there for the experience!
