   This was our second time dining here. Previous was lunch during the summer so we sat outside. It was very nice and relaxing. Both my salad and my husband's lunch were very good. Same again last night our dinner was wonderful! Our waitress was very friendly and efficent, it was our anniversary and she offered to take pictures of us. I had the fish fry and sustituted the frenchh fries for sweet potato fries. The fish was enormous, I took half of it home. The maple aioli that was served with the sweet potato fries was a delicious and a perfect match. I also had the moscato-rita, be prepared when they say big, it is huge! Lol I am no slouch with drinks but I had to ask if I could get a go cup. Our server did not seem surprised and gladly drained the ice and I had a large go cup to take home with my meal for another day. My husband had the bang bang shrimp, loved it and he finished his meal happily! We will be back in the summer and dine outside again.

   Food was great and service was very good. They were kind enough to accommodate our table choice & we had to move our time back. We will definitely eat there again. Love the nautical decor.

   The website said there was a bunch, so I made a reservation for 4 at noon. We arrived at 11 and I didn’t notice a buffet, but I thought it was in a different room, so we played games until noon. Went to the dining area and ask the bartender about the buffet and she indicated they haven’t had that for over a year! I was disappointed as this was a birthday celebration for my friend. She indicated we could order from the menu and we could sit anywhere because the place was completely empty. So reservation wasn’t necessary either it turned out. The menu was limited, but the food was good, however the service was very very slow. Basically, the website needs to be updated!

   Service gets the highest grade here. The wait staff was attentive and energetic, but slow. The wine list is, to be kind, lackluster and short. We ordered a bottle of Sauvignon blanc, but were served arose (which we kept because it was okay for the price, albeit served too warm, and were given champagne flutes to drink from. The waitress said she didn't know where their wine glasses had gone. The table next to us ordered a bottle of red wine and they also were given champagne flutes. The food was pretty bad. I had a fish fry with soggy breading. The fish inside was fine, though, after I removed the breading. My wife said her bang bang shrimp was okay. The price was average, but not worth the quality of the food.
