Food was fair, price was high and the service was terrible. Not to mention they waste valuable sitting space for “lite” menus items while everyone who wants to order from the full menus gets to wait 1-2 hours

A bit of a wait since we didn’t get over there until after 8pm but well worth it. Picked up a couple of gifts from the gift shop, took a selfie with the biggest dang live lobster I’ve ever seen, and checked out the history on the walls while we waited. Order the lobster of course and our server was fantastic. She checked on us often and showed us the secret bits of the lobster hidden away behind its head. Made a heck of a mess but had a great time doing it.

Overpriced, substandard service. No need to make reservations they don't care.
