    Food was only okay, not great for the price. We waited 40 minutes to be seated even though we had reservations. Several of our party dis not receive their mail until other were almost done. Alcoholic beverages were not good. Service was spotty and our tickets kept getting mixed up.

    Service was great—our server was friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, the food was a huge disappointment. It lacked flavor and freshness, which was surprising since we had a fantastic experience at the Seattle location. The atmosphere is fun, but based on the food quality here, I wouldn’t return.

    This was by far the best experience me and my family has had in a long time. We had a reservation at 7:30 for 20 people. And we're sst down within a few minutes. "Dylan" was amazing and deserves a huge round of applause for his energy, patience, and over all friendliness. And to the chef who cooked our steaks a huge applause also they were cooked perfect.

    This is literally a tourist attraction. Steak was cooked well but over seasoned. Crab boil had me f’d up. One little baby crab and diced up pieces of sausages. If my crab legs was bigger I may could had ate there but no I know I never need to return even they were giving away free food. The drink I ordered was literally juice. The best thing they had in the restaurant was the slushy machine:.
