    Good for, good service, fun atmosphere. However, beware they automatically add a mandatory tip to the bill, even for just a party of two.

    I decided to try this place out on Valentines Day and left very disappointed. Took forever for my wife to get her Lemon Drop Martini as they had only 1 person working the bar. Gotta do better, especially on Valentines Day! The peel n eat shrimp was just awful, the skillet cornbread was meh, and the only decent tapa we had was the spinach artichoke dip. My wife’s Cajun shrimp fettuccine was decent as was my snapper filet, but the service overall was just bad. I dislike that they automatically charge you a 20% gratuity when the service did NOT warrant a 20% gratuity, but rather more like an 8%! Allow the paying customer to decide how much they should tip! I always typically tip 20% or higher when the service is outstanding, but the service was terrible that night! Not ever going back!
