The venue is great, right on the water. The service is mediorcre, screwed our order up royally, although did offer to fix it. The food was OK, nothing great or special. The prices are quite high to start but I understand you pay for the experience, but the 6% added surcharge, plus the 20% tip kind of takes it to the ridiculous level and ruins it a bit. There are other venues on the water that provide a similar experience without the high costs.

The salmon plate is fantastic and so is the pound cake with strawberries and cream. I will go back and order the same dishes.
