They would get more customers if they would update their entertainment calendar. It's way out of date. It's a good dance venue but you have to call to find out who is playing which is a PIA.Update. Unfortunately this place went out of business.

My whole family got sick after eating here. Called and told the manager about the situation and they did not care and said it was not food poisoning. Service was subpar as the servers were rude. The decor makes you feel like you're in a submarine.

We booked a banquet dinner here after our wedding rehearsal and the staff was amazing!! From the start they were all extremely helpful and attentive to our needs and wants. Once we arrived, they had cute tables set up for our party with decore that matched our wedding colors. The staff gave us everything we needed and made sure we were taken care of all night long. We were able to enjoy the live music which added to the overall success of the night. As always, food was fantastic!!

The food was delicious. The waitress we had barely came around. Sad that our primary choice, Chowder Pot IV, closed permanently.

Food and service were excellent and atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Prices were good considering it's fresh seafood and the portions are large (our entrées were good for two meals each). We went for Valentine's Day, and aside from the fire alarm going off for a bit, it was a great experience. They even had a magician who came to the table and performed slight of hand magic for the kids.

BEWARE !!!!!!!! Absolutely horrendous dinner experience! Wasn’t our first time here but after tonight it will 100% be the last. The wait to be seated was insane for a Wednesday evening therefore we decided to sit at the bar (what a mistake). We made sure we asked if we could eat from the regular menu before sitting at the bar. After sitting down 3 bartenders walked by us and didn’t say hello or ask us if we needed a drink or menu. After some time one bartender came over and asked what we were drinking. I said I wanted to start with a club soda and my husband wanted a ginger ale and we needed menus. I glanced at the menu and noticed several items were no longer there and the prices had sky rocketed. I asked the server if this was a different bar menu than the regular dinning room menu. The bartender looked at me like I was crazy and said no it’s the same one. Sureeeeeee we ordered chowder to start. Chowder was 90% diced potatoes. After the empty bowls were placed to the side it took about 30 minutes for the bartender to come back and ask if we wanted to order. While ordering I was told salad was no longer considered a side… whatttt? After placing our order that was written down by the bartender it took another 30-40 mins to get our food. Our order was incorrect and when I informed the bartender who dropped it off he didn’t even look at me he was staring at the ground and said okay keep it. I said I didn’t want it I wanted what I ordered. The bartender just walked away. When my order was “corrected” my seafood imperial had burnt cheese on top and I found out rice is no longer seafood rice it’s bland brown rice. The bartender never came back until we asked for the check. Never asked if we wanted any other drinks nor asked how the food was. The atmosphere was uncomfortable and I would not recommend this place to anyone !!!!
