The burger was very expensive, but unfortunately it wasn't worth it. Very bland, the vegetables didn't have a fresh taste. However the calamari was excellent. The service was

Cuban sandwich was ok. Nothing memorable. A habanero sauce was listed as an ingredient but you wouldn't know it was there the sandwich lacked any spice.Waitress unfortunately forgot to put our order in to the kitchen for a long time, but the team made it right by giving us the meal for free.Patio dining was nice, but a bit hot in the sun.

The grilled octopus was amazing here, a must try!! The atmosphere was great here. It's right on the water with boats parked right on the edge. It's a very nice place. The burger was great with their fresh diced jalapeños.

Nice place to do some water side dining.Our server Noah was really good.There were about 3 conventions going on at the hotel; it was a mad house.Because of that the food did take a bit. Thankfully we weren't in a hurry.The food was good. Ordered lots of seafood.The charred octopus was delicious. Two big tentacle chucks to cut up.The Grouper dip was amazing. Our kids are up both of these.The Grouper sandwich was ok. The fillet itself was great. Just probably would have been better on rice instead of on a bun.The cuban was tasty.All in all, we didn't expect to run into all the conventions, and the staff was great at still staying attentive to us in the chaos.I would go back.

Sat at the bar today at 4 ish pm. After waiting for almost ten minutes I asked for a menu and finally got one. After waiting another 10 minutes I was told that they were so busy I couldn't order food from my bar seat (on the left side of the bar) and was told to walk around the bar to the front to order. I walked to the front and was ignored another 10 minutes. At this point I asked if I could put in food because I had been waiting thirty minutes ( I have to leave at 5:30). I get they were busy and it's a shift change but all the staff were fairly rude and ignored me. After 30 minutes I left with no food and drink as I didn't feel comfortable eating here anymore.

ENG: The food was good, however I'm sure it could have been much better because I only ordered a few appetizers, and the famous seafood tower. The starters were an avocado with pico de gallo, some fried squid rings, and a shrimp ceviche that really wasn't a good choice. The place is more oriented towards drinks than food. The place is very well located, the atmosphere is good, the drinks menu is broader than the food menu, there is live music, I'm not sure if it's every Saturday, but it was my turn…hahaha…. It is inside the Marriott Hotel and has a view of the river. The River walk is exactly in front of the restaurant.

This place is so up its own hole. Super overpriced for what you get. The food is fine...it's not fine dining but the price suggests otherwise. Beer is flat as well.

Riverside dining, service was outstanding!! Grouper was very fresh!! Perfect on top of the kale salad, which was loaded with cherries, grapes, and hazelnuts. Grouper fish tacos, fantastic as well. Perfect stop to enjoy a cocktail. Live music.

Walked in on Valentines Day and didn't even have a hostess to greet guests... We gave our reservation to another couple who was waiting for a table and left. Might come back but doubt it.

Every food item we had was over the top delicious

I found the food that I had at a buffet setup for our company to be average at best. Expected more and got less.
