Always been a big fan of this place. Recently menu options have changed a bit and it feels the regulars are missing. Not sure yet what to make of it.

Service was bad, 20 minutes before water, dirty silverware, waitress was rude and didn’t show up till we were sat down for 30 minutes. The whole experience was unpleasant. I also under stand that it’s a pricier place but the $24 burger doesn’t even come with cheese, it was $2 dollars. The fries were also $5. It felt very petty. Just left left before we got bread, which we were told would take another 10 minutes.

This was a anniversary dinner and for the most part disappointing. The setting is lovely but the second floor was closed so the first level was crowded, loud with very uncomfortable chairs. All the staff were excellent, the food was mediocre, lukewarm and overpriced. Will not return anytime soon.

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