Nice to see they have been working on the place, but the chairs are super uncomfortable for eating dinner. It is rather loud and the 15 TVs were only on 2 channels...could be better. We sat for a good 20 minutes before anyone showed up to say hello and another 15 before drink order was taken.

Great waterfront dining. Food was way above expectations and this will now be a regular spot for outdoor waterfront dining.

We went to Sonny's Sunday at 7:00 expecting the same service, food and ambience we had the last time we were there the summer before last. The service was awful, the food not much better. They were out of the top four specials on the list. My daughter and I had two different shrimp dishes. Portions were small (only 4 shrimp on each). The crab meat stuffing had no discernable crab. Both the red and the white sangria were not good and we did not drink them. Will not be going back.

Started at the bar with a few cocktails. Then was seated for dinner at around 8 PM. Service was lacking to say the least. After 25 minutes a waiter ( Dylan ) came over and took our drink order, that was the last we saw of him for 20 minutes. We asked a nice busboy to find him for us to put in our appetizers and dinner order. Dylan apologized for the delay saying he was busy. We didn’t get our appetizers till 30 minutes later and again it was after getting the same busboy to track him down. Dinner was the same story. Very disappointing evening and the price of the dinner was expensive considering the menu was basically a fry seafood and hamburger joint.

Overall upgrade is very good, however metal chairs were uncomfortable. Liked the large windows , giving a more open and well lit feeling. Bathroom is clean and beautiful.Dance area is too small and from where we were seated could not see the band.

The potato skins were overcooked. The fish and chips was amazing but a very small dish. The drinks are good. The cream spinach was horrible. Best burgers. Overpriced for the amount of food. They are waterfront so the rent must be crazy. Nice place to hang out and order drinks.
