The food was cold. We had to wait to be seated, and they helped other people who came after us before us. The hostess should smile more. It took forever to bring the food. It was very cold; the Ahi tuna was like a brick and had no flavor. The soups were delicious but very cold. Overall, it was a good and fun place, but they need to work on their food.

This restaurant was super convenient (next to our hotel). There’s a hostess, kinda slow, there’s a bar and tables on a large deck by the water(great view). There are a few steps with railings, but also a ramp. We sat on the deck. The server was nice, but service was slow both times we are there. We had the $30 calamari thing. It looks great, but not worth $30. The calamari is yummy, but it’s mostly fries beneath a layer of calamari, so it was a disappointment. The flat bread was delicious. When we were still eating(after 8pm, the staff started loudly moving tables and chairs, implying we needed to go(plus it wasn’t enjoyable). We were ready for our check, but our server disappeared for over 10 minutes. Overall, great location, good food, slow service. Great live music.

The bartenders were amazing. The food was okay. The fish isn’t fresh and the oil they used was definitely old. I asked if it was fresh and he said yes. That is why I ordered what I ordered.
It came out dark and real greasy. The fruit platter was huge and delicious. The flatbread was good. The tortilla chips were stale. Not sure why they would serve them. The server was very laid back, nice but needed a reminder of why he was there. He had to be flagged down and it wasn’t busy. The drinks were great and the atmosphere was awesome. Great music.
