Only there for a family get together. The fault of the food was not because of the waitress, she was very nice.

If you are looking for mediocre tasteless food and a noisy atmosphere this is the place for you. We arrived at 6:25 for a 6:30 reservation. We were told to wait. The table was ready but we were not seated. We got drinks at the bar. We were finally seated at 7:05 pm. Waiting for anyone to acknowledge us, we were gathering cash to the bar to get another round of drinks. The host offered to get them for us. Much later, orders were taken. There was an extremely loud party so that we weren’t able to have a conversation at our table. It was a stressful disappointing experience.

This place is for drunk local people only. Food was absolutely dreadful, placed smelled like fish and they dont even serve coffee anymore. They said it's to expensive to buy when no one drinks it after dinner. Outside the of the restaurant hasn't been cleaned in years. Old rotten deck with 2 guys out there drinking, smoking and spitting. Such a shame.
