I was very happy with the level of service we were provided. I was celebrating my Mother’s 75th birthday and our waitress as well as the hostess did a great job making my mother feel important. When we seated the hostess offer to take coat check our coats so we could feel comfortable while we sat and dined. Our waitress had a great sense of humor and was very accommodating with our special dietary restrictions. I really enjoyed our time dining at this restaurant and will come back and dine again.

The restaurant seemed to cater to an older crowd which wasn't bad since I am in my sixties. We were seated at a table that was very wet. When given a drink minute, there were no prices listed. When I asked the server, he didn't know how much they were and said they varied in price. The food was very good with large portions. The price was average-high being at the beach and in a resort hotel. The fisherman's platter was $28. Enjoyed the DJ and dancing in the rear of the restaurant starting at 8pm. All in all we had a good time and would go back.
