The service was very bad. One person got their order after the others in our party had finished eating. The waitress never returned to the table to fill our glasses or get additional drink orders.

This is a place we go every year! I love the seafood boil and my non eating seafood husband gets a nice sirloin steak. Nice eating outside since we had a big table of 7 or 8 usually. More

What a fun place to eat! Outdoor lively atmosphere, excellent service, hurricane bar outside for after dinner. My tacos were just ok but my family loved their entrees - surf and turf, filet, ceviche, oysters. More
