   my 6th time here, first time in a year, food wasn't quite as good. appetizers were disappointing. We got the large sushi boat, and it was good but not great. Def big though, but i guess it should have been for 150.

   Food selections very poor this time. one of your food tables everyone bypassed because it didn't look good or smell good. This caused a large back up at the breakfast line which then ran out of French toast, bacon & eggs. Why you didn't have any chicken choices are beyond me. My wife doesn't eat beef or ham. Also when we got there we were seated in back inside which was very nice, except every time we went to get up and venture towards the food stations a lot of the wait staff was congrigating in that entry way and there was a hard time to get through carrying our plate of food. I think you need to review your selection of foods you are serving. You should know what,s not working from what you had left over. Thank You

   We had an 8:15 reservation, and when we arrived were told there was a 30 minute wait because they had overcommitted their reservations, and didn’t have enough tables due to the rain (you can’t reserve for outside, but they banked on them being available) meanwhile the rain had been in the forecast and no one was ready for it. When we were finally seated, they had opened up some tables in a private event space they had. It couldn’t look more like a nursing home cafeteria. Several guests were asking to be moved to other parts of the restaurant bc they too felt ridiculous sitting in this cafeteria style space. At my suggestion they finally dimmed the lighting and piped in some music. I really wish we had left - there are so many dining options and if I had to wait 30 minutes to be seated in a crappy room, I could have gone anywhere else. The food was fine, the server was lovely and of course, not one manager came over to see how we were after we told the server the experience was really poor. As a local and frequent diner, as much as I have supported the group’s restaurants, I think this might be our last visit for a while.

   The room was extremely loud. Had to wait 30 minutes longer than our reservation. My steak was good but presentation was horrible. Just threw a piece of meat on a plate and a few fries and here you go. Better presentation in a diner. Special was ok but far from special. We’ve been here several times but for such this will be the last.

   Great meal in a great setting! Emily was an outstanding server. Her recommendations were spot on. Great sushi rolls and fresh seafood. We will be back on our next trip to Clearwater Beach!

   We had a reservation for 6 o’clock, but we didn’t get seated until close to 645 Other than that, the food was excellent, and the service was very good

   The server Nelson was amazing. He was one of the best servers we have ever had. The food was an epic fail except for the calamari, which was cooked and seasoned to perfection. We had the hogfish and grouper meals, the small portion of hogfish was overcooked and on a mountain of rice with a tiny scoop of veggies. The flounder was very dried out and served with Brussels sprouts which were a mix of burnt and undercooked, they were an up charge so when the server saw they were untouched the charge was removed. It’s tourist season so we are accustomed to our local restaurants’ food quality dipping in order to serve the masses but we won’t be going back again to give them a third chance to fail.

   Great service from our waiter…always such great service from the wait staff. Dinner was great, we ordered Poke bowl, Island style seafood bowl, Bacon wrap scallop pasta, Virginia oysters, coconut shrimp. I had the cedar plank Salmon which was a disappointment, the salmon piece was a small very thin tail section that a glop of strong sauce on it which overpowered the salmon. Cedar plank should be part of the seasoning and basted in a garlic butter or something. Otherwise the meal was good.
