    Trotz Reservierung mussten wir noch lange warten, und andere, ohne Reservierung, bekamen eher einen Tisch. Schlechte Organisation. Und dabei war insgesamt nur die Hälfte der Tische besetzt. Der Essen war sehr gut.

    We received slow service during a slow service period, our waitress seemed like she was doing her best though. The food took quite a while to come out. I had the crab and shrimp boil, it came out cooked well and tasty, but my crab was missing legs. For 37 dollars I expected a better portion compared to when we go to the Orlando location which is always great. My husband got the seafood feast which came out overcooked and flavor was lacking. The breading was so hard that he chipped a tooth while eating.

    We made reservations during a very busy Saturday night in Gatlinburg for 6 and then changed it to 8 about an hour before our 6:00 pm time. They accommodated us and our table was ready on time. Our service was excellent!! The food was delicious!

    Waited several minutes for waitress, almost to the point we were fixing to leave. Brought our waters and then food arrived and I still had not got my drink . Was about to tell them to cancell the drink when it finally showed up. Service was poor , food was ok, most likely will not be back
