“Large lunch plate option for a good price. I tried the bbq combo which came with ribs, chicken, flank steak, Mac and cheese and rice. Wish there was a small salad option just for some greens within the lunch plate. But overall great value for how much food is provided. Perfect stop for lunch during beach day.“

They are take out only, so brought it down to the nearest park to eat. The view is definitely 5 star atmosphere. If you're looking for a good meal at a good price, this is the place.“

Our server, Liana, was excellent and very personable. I enjoyed my chicken entree and champagne. My husband had a delectable coconut/cacao cocktail and a fish entree - mahi mahi. It was such a lovely evening. Very memorable, especially those delicious rolls!“

“The performers were excellent. Atmosphere/setting was nice.

The food was good, but when its windy... you will add nature to your food. Desserts were average at best.

The service was not good. Seating was uncomfortable. No good direction to find the area.

Super expensive. The drinks are not included. In my opinion the total price is not worth the package outside of great performers and history.“

Ask questions for sizes and what it is you are ordering if uncertain. :) staff and everyone was super friendly. We even brought our 7month to the dinner and everything went better than expected. Good food, good people, good vibes.“
