    Great meal. Alyssa, our server, fulfilled everything we asked for with a big smile. Great guitar player for entertainment. The noise level of the aquustics was the only issue.

    The service was excellent. Bailey was our server and she did an excellent job of taking care of us. The food and the drinks were good. The restaurant (and the bathrooms) were extremely clean and the atmosphere was nice! It will be great to dine there again when we can enjoy the outside patio (or at least have a view of the water). I would recommend this restaurant.

    I understand it was opening night , but that being said - that’s when you build your establishment -more staff than normal -more bar tenders than normal -more greeters than normal I want you too succeed, changes need to be made. It was complete chaos. Don’t take Open table reservations. Don’t take any reservations. When individuals come in , let them know it will be 2 hour wait for meal , and at least 30 minutes for a cocktail . I will wait a month and give Gino’s Surf another try . I truly wish the owners , workers , and the establishment itself a great year !

    The food quality was very good, hard to find in many restaurants today. Friendly and respectful service. A little loud. I hope that this restaurant does not follow what a lot of do. That is, very good food and service at first then the restaurant starts slacking and finally out of business.

    Made a reservation for 7p here to take my wife and mother in law for a bite to eat by the water for Mother’s Day (visited 5/15). Walked in at 650p, told they’d seat us in 10 minutes, although we could see there were a bunch of empty tables, no big deal - we sat outside and waited. 10 minutes pass, we stepped inside as a friendly reminder we were there. After the hostesses tried to take us each way and were side eyeing eachother, they sat us at a table for 2. I politely reminded her we have a reservation for 3. She said I’ll pull up another chair. Unfortunately, the table size was made for two and told her that didn’t seem like enough room for the three of us. As the hostess looked confused and looking around for where to seat us, told her the high top in the corner was fine. Whew, we sat. 20 minutes in. The other hostess ended up bringing us a couple of waters, saying that our waitress was finishing something and she’d be here to get our drink order. Fast forward another 15 minutes. Waitress comes, apologizes for the wait, says they’re super busy. After waiting an additional 15 minutes for our drinks come (which they never did), we walked out and went to a more local place. The restaurant has potential. Maybe more mature staff to keep things together? I’m not sure. Anyways, bummer because it has a great view and right on Jefferson but we will never be back.

    Overpriced for the quality of food. The restaurant needs to decide what kind of place it wants to be, sports bar, waterside watering hole, fine dining? And please hire some experienced waitstaff.

    Food is good for price, presentation could be better and a bit more flavor would be helpful. Service is OK, our waitress was new, however, she did a good job. I think with more time, she will be better. It was a bit loud, so we had to raise our voices to hear each other. I did appreciate that the dining area and bar area is somewhat separate.
