    Aaron, our waiter was outstanding!!! He was friendly, knowledgeable and extremely helpful!!! Our food was delicious- I had the fish tacos, my daughter had the chicken sandwich and my sons had steak and Shrimp Fra Diablo! For dessert, we had the strawberry sundae! We had a wonderful experience and will definitely return!

    They are not set up for a large crowd, their bars can’t handle both the bar and the tables. And food orders came out extremely late and not all together.

    This could be such a great restaurant. Sadly, it isn't. It took forever to get drinks (with the meal, I also ordered a glass of wine, but I was charged for something completely different - annoying). The apps were creative, but everything came out like it had sat for 5 minutes—just warm enough not to send it back, but it really should have. The mains were good but could have been better. I love other Landmark-owned restaurants, but this one needs attention from someone who can really make it hum.
