We had a reservation for 14 and walked into… nothing. No guests, no staff in sight — we had to call out to see if anyone even worked there. Eventually, a sweet young girl (maybe 18?) showed up, and we’re pretty sure she was the hostess, bartender, server and chef. We ordered drinks, sipped them, then decided to cut our losses. Paid for appetizers that never even arrived. Total bust. Save your night — skip this place.

Great location and view of Celebration Park. Great menu and the outdoor seating was shaded and comfortable even in the hot weather.

The lobster rolls were excellent! The restaurant was decorated nicely. However, the service was terrible! We were one of only three tables occupied in the restaurant. It took more than 15 minutes to get our drink order. When our food arrived, it was all cold. It was difficult getting drink refills. There was no follow up after food was brought. We had to go to the bar to pay our bill since they didn’t bring it to us.

We arrived an hour early and they easily accommodated us. The only person working on this second floor restaurant was the bartender who appeared angry with everyone. The appetizer's were excellent. The lobster rolls were awful. The meat was overcooked and rubbery. If he had only checked on us a couple of times and the lobster rolls were better we would go back. Go for the appetizers and go elsewhere for dinner.

Food was amazing, service was good. It was very quiet in there and our server said it doesn’t get very busy there. Not sure why, we got lobster rolls and it had SO much meat in it. Worth the price. Definitely should stop in there if you get the chance.

This is basically a glorified bar. One person covering all the tables and bar tending on a Saturday night. Ordered drinks and sodas and had to ask for the soda after the drinks came. Ordered appetizers and dinner. Appetizers came out and then we waited for entrees. Server came back 30 minutes later to ask if we needed anything else and when we said we needed our entrees her response was you got your food. Then blamed it on the computer system and said they would start making it now. We opted to leave.
