As I sip my cup of disappointment, I can't help but lament the unfortunate experience I had at this purported culinary establishment. While initially enticed by the promise of tantalizing flavors, what awaited me was nothing short of a gastronomic catastrophe.Let's start with the much-vaunted pork nachos, shall we? At first glance, they appeared to be a savory delight, beckoning with their tantalizing aroma. However, upon closer inspection, it became evident that the allure was merely a facade. The pork, if one could even call it that, seemed to be of the lowest quality imaginable, reminiscent of something salvaged from the discard pile behind a butcher's shop. And the cheese? Oh, the cheese. Instead of the rich, creamy goodness one would expect, it exuded a distinctly artificial aura, as if it had been synthesized in a laboratory rather than sourced from nature's bounty. In fact, the only discernible flavor present was that of chemical cheese, a stark reminder of the synthetic nightmare lurking within.But the horror didn't end there. No, dear reader, it was but the beginning of a culinary descent into madness. Every morsel, every bite, seemed to reaffirm my suspicions that there was nothing natural about these nachos. Each ingredient, if one could call them that, appeared to have undergone a grotesque transformation through the wonders of modern food processing, resulting in a medley of flavors so abhorrent that even my stomach rebelled in protest. Indeed, in the wake of this culinary calamity, I have been plagued by digestive distress for the past twenty-four hours, a cruel reminder of the folly of indulging in such culinary atrocities.And as if the culinary sins weren't enough, the establishment had the audacity to compound the insult with its abysmal service model. Gone are the days of attentive waitstaff and personalized service; instead, customers are relegated to the role of digital serfs, forced to place their orders through a soulless app. And the cherry on top? A 5% service charge for each and every order, effectively penalizing patrons for their very presence. And let us not forget the additional solicitation for tips upon ordering, a brazen display of greed that would make even the most hardened miser blush with shame.Yes, the ambiance may be cool, the decor stylish, but such superficial trappings do little to mask the inherent deficiencies of this establishment. In fact, one cannot help but wonder if the food served here would even be deemed suitable for consumption in a refugee camp, such is its utter lack of quality and nutritional value.In conclusion, dear reader, heed my words and steer clear of this culinary purgatory. For in a world replete with gastronomic delights, there is no excuse for subjecting oneself to such culinary torment.

Great place for drinks. Food gives you the runs. 4.5% surcharge on everything for no stated reason then prompts you for a 22% tip on top of it all. Ah

I got charged twice for my meal after we tried to split checks and the service was unbelievably slow and disorganized. Do not go here ever.

I've had a reservation for a couple weeks. When my party and I showed up, no table was available. This is the 3rd time this happened. Food is so so, and cost more than it's worth. The waterfront use to be a great bar to hang at. Not anymore. Sad

This is truly a horrible place. Grotesque food and drinks, rude arrogant owners, and no regard for the neighborhood. They are next door to s a senior living center and blare their music all hour easily exceeding 90 decibels from outside. They should be shut down.

Why did you change your Nachos recipe? The new recipe isn’t balanced. There are no fresh ingredients like tomatoes to cut the salt and spice. The black beans were so much better than the pinto beans. Overall, the new recipe looks and eats cheap and processed compared to the old recipe that was so fresh. So saaaaad!
Love this place. Great food. Great drinks. I don’t know if they still do their brunch Buffet on the weekends, but it’s great. Can get packed and noisy, but otherwise 10/10.
Came here by chance and turned out juice magazine were having an event. Monthly event which was such a good time and came away with an unreal prize from them. Thanks from New

My friend ordered a hamburger and a beer. It was their special for $15. The burger came and it was a small thin patty with cheese and nothing else on a big bun. Then he ordered nachos for the table. The were chips with a few small pieces of avocado, tomato, sour cream hot sauce all over it which I can't it, and some kind of melted cheese like velveta or something you get at a movie theater or possibly a can. I don't know but at a restaurant I would expect real cheese. It was pretty unimpressive.The bathroom was pretty gross. They have weird toilets that remind me of airplane toilets. I think it was leaking because there was water all over the floor. At least I hope it was water. I would never go there to eat.
Great happy hour
