Our waiter was nice and friendly.
The food was good. My only complaint was the broccoli. It was just barely cooked and they didn't try to add butter or seasoning or put anything on it!
If you order a margarita, you get a free shaker.
Overall it was good. I'd probably come back.

We tried this place because it is right next to our first choice which was the Rainforest Cafe. They had a forty minute wait so we decided not to wait.
We were visiting on a Monday lunch time and the place was almost empty, that was probably our time to walk away, but we didn't. Our server was a young man who's name began with an M. Unfortunately I can't remember his full name, but he was awesome, full of life, knowledgeable and friendly. I'm not a seafood fan so I played it safe and ordered a Cheeseburger/Fries. It wasn't bad, it wasn't good, it was unbelievably boring. You shouldn't be able to mess up a simple Cheeseburger, it's iconic in America.
My wife had a Shrimpy soupy thing with rice. She didn't finish it and we went somewhere else(Hagen Das) for dessert.
Overall the experience wasn't bad but also it wasn't good enough for us to consider returning.
No starter, two mains, a coke and a fancy fruity drink, $65.

Just had the worst experience in a restaurant that I had being wanted to try for a while
went in at first the host was attending fastly seated me in a brief near the bar area which was excellent in my opinion as a solo traveler and having a taste for fine brews I was happy with the seating i order fast for I was starving I order a fish boil and was deciding on my next plate server never check back on me not even 1 had to ask other servers for assistance but he sure took care of the people next to me a table of 4 white folks by the way I'm Mexican wearing a Mexico shirt and he never had the attention don't know if it was because of me being Mexican or they he thought 1 persons tip didn't matter so he never took the time to address if I wanted to order something else after he never check on me he has the audacity to give me my tab like if I was ready to leave while I was still hungry and trying to consume more in this establishment he kept making me feel like he wanted me gone really uncomfortable I was about to pay the tab mind u I paid and order because he kept looking like if I was about to bust a slick on on him and ask me if I wanted a to go box after I had already order and paid his order totally unprofessional I felt harassed and neglected by being treated differently than anyone else there that day I will never be coming back here again they totally ruin it for me and honestly I felt bad they did this in front of everyone shameful they have preferences on customers when all of our money is the same color
P.s this for 40 dlls is trash had local kitchens do it better

Our experience was not good today. We got sat promptly in the middle of the restaurant around 2pm but then it took 15 minutes for a server to stop by our table. It was only because I flagged someone down to find our server. I witnessed a few servers basically look like they wanted to be elsewhere. My son wanted to have lobster for his first time so we spent a lot of money on the Boat Trash bucket meal for one tiny lousy lobster tail that had next to no meat. I understand that there’s not a lot of meat to begin with on a lobster tail but there was literally next to nothing. Like one tiny little bite, if that. I think it was over fried and fell out of the shell. I said something to the server and he mentioned it’s mostly shell. I feel scammed. It was too loud in the restaurant, too. I couldn’t hear my family talk. The rest of the food was meh, fried fish was not crispy, felt like I could taste uncooked batter.
