Chris hired a great band, his chef turned out delicious burgers and homemade fries that I could have just eaten as a meal themselves and his bartenders (Fran & Anabel) were seasoned and kept up with the demand. If you are looking for a place to have a private event this is a great option! On the water with great views and a staff that is going to make sure you are well taken care of! Chris let us know that the owner will be upgrading and remodeling very soon to bring an even better experience to SPI! Cannot wait to go back!“
