    I love how the restaurant is across from the beach. But felt the customer service could be better. I felt forgotten a lot.

    The service was horrible. The waiter never checked on us and our appetizer came after our entrees.

    I love it here and I won’t ever go back on a holiday. Service sucks. Food was cold. It was loud and not enjoyable on Mothers Day.

    The food and drinks tasted great, service was amazing, our server always checked on us. Party of 14 for Mother’s Day. Parking was a bit of a wait but well worth it.
