    We had a great experience. We also visited last year while on vacation and loved it then too. Our table was ready as soon as we got there this time. Last year we did not make a reservation and had to wait for a table but the waterfront bar area was so nice. We ordered a cocktail, got a good seat at the water and enjoyed the wait, it felt like an extra part of the experience! We will definitely be back.
