The food didn't come out at the same time, and the food that came out first was already cold. Had the coconut shrimp, wasn't as good as Red Lobster's. Enjoyed sitting next to the Jordan creek pond even though it did smell like sewage.

Came here with my daughter for lunch today and our waiter Taylor was awesome! He was so friendly and very quick! Also recommend the queen crab legs which were delicious! The view on the outdoor patio is amazing. Thanks Taylor!

My family’s first time there this afternoon. The service was outstanding! Our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu items, personable and was on top of everything! The food was great and the atmosphere was very inviting, but the service was priceless! We travel to the area often for my kids sporting events and we’ll definitely be back!
