    It was a little high priced for the quality of the food. I made reservations, thinking we would have better seats and we were in the back corner against the wall. I was a little disappointed by that.

    The only thing that was great was our server- all of the staff were kind to us. I’m not sure how this restaurant gets so many great reviews, other than I fell for the tourist trap and it’s the tourists leaving reviews. The food was not good. Point blank. I would not go back and I wouldn’t suggest you try it either. Believe the negative reviews that you are reading.

    We were there two different nights on our trip. We strongly recommend CJ‘s on the bay. Abbey & Harmony were outstanding with their service.
