    Typically a great meal here, tonight was not that night, mussels and shrimp boil were completely overcooked and rubbery. Mahi was also severely overcooked. Will think twice before trying them again. At the prices charged food should be excellent.

    Loud kids and not allowed to sit outside facing the water on the top deck. Waited 15 mins to sit inside facing the water though we had reservations and it was not busy at all on a Tuesday night.

    Well we are all back to the hotel and 3 of 4 people can not get out of the bathroom. This is the worst food I have ever had at a Disney restaurant. crispy shrimp was all breading, octopus was so tough you could not chew it, calamari was greasy , my boiled key west shrimp was chewy and had no flavor (it actually seemed frozen shrimp to me). Anyway if you have a reservation cancel it and try something else. This was are second time here. The first was a while ago and we were not impressed but thought we would give it a second try. Never again!
