    It was my birthday dinner and I went with my boyfriend and cousin. When we got there it was absolutely beautiful on the water they sat us by the water and I was so happy. We ordered really good drinks like pina colada and strawberry daiquiri and the burgers were delicious! The waiter was literally extremely nice and checked on us every time! I’d definitely recommend.

    The Service was very slow and our waiter did not give us napkins and silverware until we asked and even then it took them until we were almost done eating to bring us our silverware. The band was too loud and not that great. The only thing good was sitting on the waterfront.

    Made a reservation on Line for my husbands 50th Bday. We was staying at a resort 10 mins away. No one to greet u, was told to sit anywhere inquired about the reservation for it had special instructions, my husband is allergic to msg. We sat they gave us a menu never to return. No water no server we felt so out of place after 10mins we left. Still had to pay for valet service menu look’s nothing like the photos upon the website. Thank you for nothing. I would not recommend this location to anyone. To think we was going to get a room for 2 evenings.

    The location has such potential which is why we came but sadly we would never come back. The “margarita flatbread” looked like a kids cheese pizza that came frozen from a box. The special was a crab cake and advertised as a meal- it was one crab cake with a random green garnish definitely not a salad for $30. The avocado toast seemed like it was guacamole spread on bread. Just very bad.

    We Waited 15 minutes after being seated for a waiter. Went to the bar where four bartenders were working and waited another 5-8 minutes to order a beer and wine. No wonder the happy hour goes from 3-7 pm, you can only get someone to provide a service once every hour. Poor training and management

    It took us 15 minutes to see a hostess at the stand to be seated for our reservation. The tables are plastic with visible dirt on them. They seemed to be understaffed so service was pretty slow (our appetizer also came out cold & the frozen drink machine was broken). The view is nice, but overall a very mediocre restaurant for being rated #2 on Open Table for waterfront restaurants in the area.

    No kids cups with tops. No ice cream. Had to ask server several times for Parmesan cheese for our granddaughters pasta. It should be a family friendly restaurant as it is part of a hotel but it’s definitely not.

    We are a family of 7 and we where very disappointed with the overall dining experience. 3 of the 7 had burgers and they where very dry and extra chard, 1 ordered fish tacos that where okay, 1 ordered Ceasar salad at that was the icing on the cake, it looked like leftovers for 25.00. My family and I will definitely not be visiting this restaurant again. Very expensive 225.00 for 7 with no liquor on the bill.
