   An hour to receive our appetizers, had to ask for water, air conditioning worked in one part of the restaurant but not where we were seated, hair in my food. I think that about sums it up.

   Thanksgiving special was subpar. Problem getting all white meat plate. Forgot the cranberry sauce and bread. Not a great dinner experience.

   Food was cold. My 19 year old was served a cold and small portion of the Thanksgiving special on a smaller plate than the others at our table. Drinks ran dry... Pffttt

   I had the Mahi and hubby had the Redfish. Excellent meal. Waitress, Tayla, was especially good.

   I did not get my seat request- booth away from beverage station/kitchen. Sat next to waiter beverage station- too busy and too loud. Miss valet parking at front of restaurant- bring it back.

   My husband and I ordered the Thanksgiving special. The food was good except for the green beans which were rock hard. Neither of us could eat them. The waitress did a good job. My issue may sound petty but it was bizarre to me. We sat where we were looking at the station where the waiters and other employees stood and gave out water and tea refills. After getting my peach tea I needed sweet and low. I did not see my waitress as she was busy elsewhere so I waved at one of the employees who brought us water. I asked for some sweet and low please with a smile. He told me abruptly to ask my waitress and walked away. Another employee heard me and opened up a cupboard and handed the sweet and low to the guy that I requested it from. He shook his head no and put it back in the cupboard. Neither of them were busy after that. I had to wait for quite a while to ask a waiter walking by for the sweet and low. I found the whole thing extremely strange.

   There were a number of factors contributing to my rating: 1. Service was subpar, we had a reservation for 14, for my mom’s birthday. There was multiple times where our waiter wouldn’t come to check on us for long stretches of time resulting in having to wait considerable time to get napkins, salt/pepper, water re-fills, butter that was missing w/ bread, the basics really. Our food was mixed up upon delivery & in a few cases wrong 2. Food quality & temperature missed the mark. We ordered a range of the menu (fish, chicken, steak, flatbread, apps, soup, salad, etc.) and the overall consensus was that it was edible but not good. Additionally, the theme of waiting continued with respect to having our entrees delivered only to discover that ALL hot meals were either cold or lukewarm 3. It felt like a pub more than a dining experience. There were a few other large parties there, one seated directly behind us, with hardly enough room to sit back to back, that was EXTREMELY loud & vulgar. I honestly couldn’t think straight for the screaming that was occurring in such close proximity Among these qualms was the response of the manager. After I had to get up to find salt and pepper, so my dad’s food wouldn’t get any cooler, as we waited for the next time our waiter would come by, I went to the bar to ask for the manager. I expressed our dissatisfaction and her response was that they are busy. I didn’t think that was a reasonable answer. I shared that feedback with her and she said she would see what she could do on our bill to accommodate. Fast forward meal ends, they don’t offer my mom a birthday dessert for her 60th (which they do typically offer), bill comes with NO discount reflected. I inquire about it and she brings me a new bill with 1 appetizer removed valued at $12.50 for a tab over $800. After further discussion, it ends in a 20% overall discount, which I agreed too, but it does not mean we’ll be returning. In my opinion, this location has declined considerably.
