   The seafood was delicious but I did not enjoy the rice. I enjoyed the calamari and oysters.

   Had a reservation that they did not honor. Why take reservations if you give tables to whoever walks in…. Disappointed enough on how the situation was handled that I will not be back

   If I could give this place zero stars I would! Being as though it was Father’s Day I made a reservation for 3pm…only to drive an hour to the restaurant and arrive on time to be told the wait time for reservations were two and a half hours also food would take atleast and hour to receive! Half the dining room was empty so I asked why couldn’t we be seated at one of the open tables and I was told they were being held for RESERVATIONS (obviously just not mine)Very unorganized! I asked to speak to a manager and no one ever showed up!

   Made a reservation for 3:30 and was told that we would have to wait 2hrs for our table. We booked the table through open table so they had our contact information to let us know about the delay, but they chose not to tell us until we got there

   We went there on Father’s Day morning around 11 AM when they opened and were seated immediately with our reservation. The food was great. The view was beautiful. We will definitely be back.

   Loved Holy Mackeral! Everything was delish! We had a reservation for 7:30pm but were sat closer to 8:30pm. While waiting we enjoyed beer by the water so no big deal but next time we know to go earlier!

   Food and service was great. Our waiter Chad was awesome. Did not like that we waited more than 30 minutes to get a table and we made reservations. Maybe Do the all you cheat crab legs more than once a week or do reservations only.

   You must try the giant pretzel with beer cheese. The best I’ve ever had! We went for the all you can eat shrimp and crab legs. The crab seemed to be a little over cooked. It was kind of hard to get to the meat in the crab legs. The shrimp was not deveined. Overall, I would go back. We went kind of early. The place wasn’t busy. The service was great. Our waitress made sure we had plenty of everything. Oh, and they keep the meat coming. and they don’t hurry you out of the restaurant if you’re there for the all you can eat. I saw a few comments on social media about that so I thought I’d mention it. Great restaurant. Great service. Would recommend.
