    Excellent service, our steaks were prepared perfectly. And considering the special night, Valentines Day, the place was full but speed of service was amazing . No rush and no hurry felt and great experience.

    Steak was not seasoned well. Lobster tail did not come with any sauce. Oysters tasted frozen. For the price of the meal for my wife and I, one appetizer and two entrees with no alcohol was $200. I would have been more satisfied at my local family restaurant with the same type of meal for $80.

    We had a wonderful Valentine’s Day date! Our waiter (Matt) was very kind, attentive, and courteous. The hostess was very polite and accommodating (we needed wheelchair seating). The food was delicious! We love The Mariner’s and come a few times a year.

    Great atmosphere and service was excellent. The food was good, however the steak could have been seasoned better. Also the prices of bourbon were pretty high. The amount of one ounce of some of these were as much as the cost of an entire bottle.

    The food was outstanding. The Orange Pecan salad with poppy seed dressing was a meal in itself! We come once a year for Christmas and The Mariners never disappoints. Matt and the team of waiters and waitresses are very knowledgeable about the menu and gave great suggestions for my wife’s glutton situation. We will see them bext Christnas… or sooner!

    Atmosphere was great, service was good, the issue was that my wife's filet mignon (medium) was served cold. Our experience at other steak restaurants when this has happened, they cook a new steak but all they did was heat up the old one and it was no longer medium cook.
