    Everything about our dining experience was horrible from the first meeting with a Sara Lee Young hostess to a bartender who is more interested in trying to impress young girls and made us wait 15 minutes for a glass of wine to the sound level in the island grill, which was so high you almost had to scream at each other to the food. And the food was the last part. We each ordered their top ribeye steak at $65 and more presented with half inch fatty grizzly ribeye steak, which was inedible and cold mashed potatoes. Our young male server was the only highlight of the evening and when he noticed we couldn’t eat our food he brought the manager over who happened to be the highlight of the evening. She apologized for the bad service the bad food comped our food gave us a very nice dessert and apologize for all the problems that we had if it wasn’t for her, I would give this restaurant a zero stars. I thanked her tipped our waiter for what his tip would have been on the total price of the meal, even though we didn’t need it and left.

   We had a reservation but still had to wait 15 minutes and then was a long wait for our food. My wife received the wrong meal and then received the proper one after another 10 minute wait. We were still charged for the wrong meal and had to have the waiter adjust our bill. My meal had a large hair in the mashed potatoes.

   Had two wait 25 minutes for our table with a reservation. Got wrong wine. Got entrees before appitizers. Asked for food to not be placed back under a heat lamp while we still waited 15 more min for apps… got those then shortly our same plates came back out. Dried out. Hot plates, def were under a heat lamp. Steak was now dried out and over cooked. Fish was now mushy. No discount. Nothing was done to rectify the situation. Bad service all around

   We were happy to outside because it was very cold inside and very noisy. The early bird menu was a good value but the dessert was weak, a not very good tiramisu. Espresso was only lukewarm and no crema. Service was very uneven, w a long delay at the beginning and again at the end of the meal.

   Had a reservation and had to wait 40 minutes for a table. Server was inattentive and didn’t bring our drink order until well into eating the meal. Crowded and loud atmosphere. Food was good.

   We had a great time! Sunday Brunch is a very good valve. Sitting outside by the water and watching the dolphins was an added bonus!

    Great brunch with a variety of options for breakfast and lunch. The omelet station is always a must, nothing short of amazing. Some of my other favorites were the spinach salad, Brussels sprouts, churro waffles, oysters, shrimp cocktail, and sirloin cuts. Everything was amazing! Will definitely be back!
