Probably the WORST dining experiennce we had during our recent visit to Key West. Seating was quick. The waitress took ourt orders then the LONGEST wait EVER occurred. Folks that came in after us got their meals before us. Our meals were nothing special. It seemed like the stafff had to go out of state to get the supplies needed to make the meal ! It was REDICULOUS beyond belief. The waitress must have had some personal issue going on that effected a COMPLETELY WRONG meal to bbe delivered. Absoluetely NO QUALITY ASSURANCE. We were NOT about to wait for another meal to be made CORRECTLY. We would have probably had to wait an ENTIRE DAY to get resolution ! Luckily my meal was Compped ! I would NEVER recommend this establishment to ANYONE !
