I have past this place many of times and today I finally decided to try it out. The atmosphere was a dated, but the staff were very friendly and attentive. However, the food was very distasteful and was very disappointed with my steak. It was very spongey and chewy. No seasoning on any of the food. The spinach tasted freezer burnt and the mash potatoes tasted like it came from a box. Definitely think they should revamp their culinary skills, add more seasoning and incorporate marinating their food.

Service was great, food temperature was great, taste was good, not exciting.
Walking in, felt very dated but not a deal-breaker for us. First and foremost, our server Ramona was great. She was very attentive, friendly and professional. My Husband and I both ordered Long Island Iced Teas and with the exception of them using low grade liquor it was decent (trust me, you can instantly taste when a bartender uses quality/low-quality liquor in a Long Island). But other than that, the experience was lackluster, worst being the food, which IS a huge deal-breaker if you want a return visit to your restaurant …Ok so let’s break it down: portions are huge, you’ll never feel like you didn’t get a good amount of food for the price….BUT, ugh the taste: everything brought out was sooo bland. From the bread to the exceptionally large slab of salmon they set in front of me (smothered with what looked like every ingredient they had in the kitchen but still bland). It’s crazy too because everything comes out piping hot, looking a-maz-ing! …then you put a forkful in your mouth and then it’s like huh, this taste doesn’t match what this food looks like. LOL…The steamed shrimp was next-level awful: mushy texture, with a frowsy taste and about 17 sprinkles of old bay…but again, they came out all big and pretty looking and when we bit into one we were like what in the world?! Lmbo! I just can’t understand what’s going on here, I absolutely love shrimp so why can I only stomach two of these?…our bill came to around $120, ending out the most deadbeat “fine” dining experience I’ve ever had…but hey, the best part I saved for last: my Hubbie was given a $100 gift card to go here so we only really paid $20 and the tip…walked out with almost our whole meals boxed because it was just so sub-par, figure we’ll spruce it up with our own seasonings when we reheat it… honestly, we might just throw it out ultimately because it’s just so suspect. How can food look so delicious and taste so blahhh…like as if it was artificial food…but it has to be real right? No seriously?!???♀️

Biggest crab cakes I've ever had, filled with giant chunks of lump crab meat & very little filler. The flavor explodes in your mouth & the portions are huge. I ate 3 times off of 1 meal.Parking: Little tricky getting out of the parking lot. Go all the way around the back of the shopping center to get out.
The lue Dolphin restaurant is awesome. The atmosphere and food is excellent. They give you plenty. I would recommend them to anyone.

The people (staff) here are so nice and polite. The atmosphere is cool. They have a nice bar and tvs you can watch and this place is huge. They have areas you can have parties or gatherings. You just have to make reservations. I wasn't impressed the food. The crabcake was a little bland for my taste buds and my chicken was dry for my salad. But over all I had a great time and you should come check it out for yourself.Parking: Plenty of parking, you have a choice to park in the front or you may have to park in the back just in case it's full.

I couldn’t believe how inexpensive the food is here! They have an extended happy hour in which you can get the food even cheaper.The only thing I felt was over priced were the salads- they start at $16 with no option for a smaller portion.The cheeseburger sliders are the size of a regular cheeseburger do be careful not to order too much food. I enjoyed the crab balls and especially the seafood platter. The carpaccio was especially delicious.The atmosphere on the other hand left much to be desired. People came in dressed extremely casual, some even wore slippers. It was a cross between a sports bar and a red lobster vibe.The servers are very kind but they are far too busy to be as attentive as I would have liked.If you’re looking for a cheap meal, look no further.If you’re looking for a classy spot with a nice vibe, keep looking.
