    Wanted to like this place but nothing was great for any of us (8 in total). Fries were cold. Mashed potatoes were cold. Rice was dry. Shrimp was bland and boring. And wahoo was tragically overcooked. Server took something off the bill at the end after telling us he “couldn’t believe things were that bad.” As first impressions go, it couldn’t have been much worse. Definitely will not be back.

    We decided to try Angler & Ale after seeing it regularly featured on Saltwater Experience and were really looking forward to checking it out for ourselves. The marina location is beautiful, and the property itself is very clean and well kept. We arrived around 5:35 PM and were seated on the outdoor deck overlooking the water while it was still almost empty, which made the experience start off on a positive note. Unfortunately, things went downhill from there. We waited 40 minutes for our dinner. Roughly 20 minutes into that wait, our server came over to let us know my wife’s jerk chicken had been prepared incorrectly and needed to be remade. Food had been served to at least three other tables who came in after us. When the food finally arrived, my wife's mac & cheese was very dry. I suspect it was under a heat lamp waiting for the new chicken order to be completed during that 20 minute additional wait time. My fried grouper sandwich was missing the blackened seasoning I specifically requested (the server also agreed this was a great choice), and my fries were not cooked well-done as I had also asked when ordering. What was most disappointing was that no one came by to ask how our meals were. I had to calmly call the server over to discuss the issues. She was pleasant and immediately offered to comp our drinks and add a dessert, which we appreciated but wasn't necessary. However, simply comping items without a manager stopping by doesn’t really address the bigger issue or help prevent it from happening again. I felt like I was just being dismissed. Given the beautiful marina setting and reputation, we expected more. Sadly, based on this visit, we wouldn't want to go back.

    Awesome food! I really enjoyed the presentation of the whole yellowtail snapper! It was a sight to see! It was good too! Just be sure to remove any small bones left in there. Whatever seasoning they put on it is incredible. The place is pretty cool, we got a window view of the harbor and the sunset. The only downside of our dinner was the wait time. About 30 - 40 mins. Other than that, it was a pretty great dinner! Our waiter was very nice!

    The food was top notch. 0 complaints. And im not a fish person (loved the gruper).The best part about this establishment is the leadership. There was an issue that occurred with food availability and communication. After the fact, the manager and server took full responsibility and went 100% beyond expectations in fixing the error. Better than any restaurant Ive encountered. The food is definitely worth it but the crew and leadership is where its at. I can say with absolute confidence that if there is an issue it will remedied with professionalism and care.

    Our experience started out strong, accommodated and seated relatively quickly. Drinks ordered with apps, and all that came out for us being a split group on 20 (10 at our table, separate waiter). We ordered entrees and then came the wait. Our other party ordered a few minutes before we did, and got theirs about 30 min later, normal. But we kept waiting. And waiting. And waiting. We asked our waiter a few times if everything was good, he said yes. But more waiting. The other table had plates done and cleared already! Over an hour later, we finally got our meal. The food was good! But not worth the time it took to get it. Then came the issue of the bill. Mind you, we told our waiter when we started that we were a group of couples and were ordering separately. The bill comes out all as 1. No problem, we ask him to split it up instead. Nope, can’t split more than 4 ways due to their system being down. What? The poor waiter brings us this news and we are so confused at this point why this was not mentioned to us. We asked our waiter for a manager, who confirms we need to do our own calculations to figure this out. So we do, we exchange cash, and we finally leave after over 2.5 hours. Talked to the manager after and it’s his first month on the job. The waiter also looked brand new, so I can’t fault them. But the service model here needs some serious TLC. That long of a wait, not prime rush time, and not being able to put in separate orders or split a bill? For the money we will absolutely not be back- horrendous experience. Save your time and spend your money elsewhere.
