One of those rare times when the experience exceeds expectations. While the location would have you believe that it would serve inflated prices to tourists, we found a very diverse menu and excellent cooking. The establishment is clean, inviting and worth going back again.

We really like going to this place. Sitting on the harbor, the atmosphere is amazing. But the food and service tonight were terrible. The beer was not cold and the food was not hot. If you’re going to charge $22 for beef nachos then make it right. Taco Bell is better when they serve you food that has been sitting under the heat lamps for an hour. Two older gentleman sat next to us at the outside bar. The server took a drink order for one of them but not the other. He questioned her about it and she told him they were busy. When he asked her if the menu was the same for the other outside bar, she told him she knew nothing about it. For our second round of drinks, the one server couldn’t find our tab. To their credit, they did pay attention to everyone sitting at the bar. But this was very bad for the premium price you pay.

4/18/24 first time here. Met my local friend who recommended this place and it was a great recommendation.We sat at the bar and had a nice meal. We both got the burger of the month.They have a good beer selection too, lots in cans.The burger was good, not cooked exactly to medium well, it was almost medium rare and I was fine with it. But if you are reading this and it truly matters to you, you should check before taking that bite ;)Service was fine.I'd certainly come back - it's a cool spot.Parking: Depending on the day and time, the lot gets full.

Food is decent. Your paying the premium price for the location. Bar tenders are awesome. Food runners can't handle a simple task. I always love sitting outside, though. The atmosphere is always enjoyable.

Last night ordered a bourbon neat and was charged an extra $2 because no ice was in the drink. Question the waitress and she said they gave me an extra amount of bourbon which was not true. Also had the fish taco which was barely acceptable

My family and I went to your restaurant to enjoy a meal together. Your place was busy being that it’s Easter weekend and the wait to be seated was within reason. Unfortunately once we were seated, the wait for our dinner after we ordered was approximately a 45 minute wait and our server kept checking on us to update us often. I did expect to get my order, a rack of ribs and onion rings to be hot but that wasn’t the case, the ribs were barely warm and my onion rings were somewhat cold and hard to chew. The only thing that was very hot was the cup of beans that came with the ribs. My question is, why was our food not fresh and hot after such a long wait to get our food? Our server kept telling us how many orders were ahead of us which made me think that our food was going to be fresh once he brought it to us. I was very disappointed and I asked my family if their food was fresh and hot, they told me that it wasn’t. The only thing that was ok was the appetizers. I had to take most of my meal home because I didn’t enjoy it eating cold. The money I paid wasn’t worth the quality of the food.One good thing was, that our server did a great job in staying in contact with us even though he was extremely busy with his other customers and for that I was grateful with him, specially how hard he was hustling to do his job and still found time to check our table. That’s what kept me from complaining at the restaurant, I gave him a well deserved tip for his effort. He has great customer service skills and I wish I had people like that gentleman working for me. I’m in the people business and have been since I was 18 and I can appreciate him for being a professional and caring person. Unfortunately this was my second time I ate at your restaurant and I am truly disappointed how our meals were prepared, I will not go back to your restaurant. I had a decent experience the first time we ate there and was really looking forward to it last night, but it wasn’t to be.
