Plus: sitting on the deck overlooking the water and our waiter, Chris was awesome. My mom said the beer was nice and cold. Minus: I had the nachos without the chili, still $11! Chips, cheese and Pico de Gallo should not be so expensive. My mom got fish and chips and frankly, we've had better at Captain D's or Long Johns Silvers. Maybe the dinner menu is better, but the lunch menu is still overpriced for below average food. Guess you pay for the view.

Pros - Good Servers, nice view, a few good lunch items Cons - Smells like trash if seated in that corner , Dinner a terrible value, poor management/ownership On the decline. Was much better years ago. I use to go several times a week as I live almost next to it. Food was getting worse, and the last experience with a manager who did not want to accept a coupon that said $5 off ANY ENTREE and wouldn't honor it and an owner who when I complained, said "we'll remove you from our mailing list". What great service :( But when mana... read more
