   We did a reservation for 8 and they split our family between two booths. Over an hour for the food. And in late May was hotter in the restaurant than outside.

   Had to move seating due to the extreme heat in the indoor dining area. They were very accommodating and it was much better outside.

   Our waiter started us off with cold ice waters and reviewed the “specials” and told us to look over the menu and ask if we had any questions. The ice water was so refreshing and although it is tradition to come to pompano joes every year, he encouraged us to try a new appetizer which was the tuna dip and it was delicious! Thanks Alec for the wonderful attentive experience. We have never had a bad experience here so this one was yet another great time and meal to add to the memories!

   We shared the Seafood Sampler with Grouper instead of Mahi-Mahi and everything was fantastic. The broiled Grouper, shrimp, scallops, crab cake, twice baked potato and cole slaw were ll amazing. Really recommend them and this meal.

   We had avery sweet new server. He did seem a bit rattled and was moving a bit fast. This is probably why our order was messed up. We won't hold that against him, he's just learning. However, the disorganization of things was on a high note for the evening. We received our food by a different server or by the kitchen that delivers food. We had no silverware to eat our mean and requested this twice. It was a good 20 minutes after our food was delivered before we got silverware. To say the least our food was getting cold. The fried shrimp was very good and the coleslaw was good. The Mahi-Mahi was dry and tasteless. Bit pricey for the quality of food received, but in a tourist area that is expected. The manger interviened twice due to incorrect drinks and that finally came out after we finished our meal. The check had an additional order on it for a third person and there were only two of us and two meals. That was taken off the check. Maybe try one more time but don't waste money on the Mahi-Mahi. Both grilled and fried were both dry and tasteless.

    Read a review about someone having an issue due to a food allergy. We had no issues with my son seafood/fish allergy!
