    Very disappointed in the food and service. All of our dinners were overly salty, drinks were watered down, incorrect salad served, bread was stale. Waiter forgot to bring drink we ordered, tried to pass off incorrect item as what my husband ordered. We were seated in the 3rd floor bar area, no ambience. We were looking forward to dining here, was a bad experience and would not return. Definitely not worth what we paid. 3 out of 4 of us didn’t finish our meals

    Really disappointed with our meal compared to our last visit. The area we were in was too loud we couldn’t hear ourselves talk across our table. The food selection wasn’t great for a teenager . The kids burger our son said tasted weird. Our server wasn’t that friendly or helpful. Very disappointed and have cancelled our next booking

    Food was very good. Fries with crab — yum. So was the Cod stuffed with crab and shrimp. Nice view too.

    We had an excellent dinner here on a busy Saturday night during the spring break season. Our server, Luke, did an excellent job taking care of our table and was efficient and courteous during the whole meal. We had the Flounder and the Stuffed Cod, both of which were fabulous! My one criticism is that the dining room was so loud with large groups and families that it was difficult for us to have a conversation over our meal.

    My cod was delicious but over cooked. Fried green tomatoes were so hard you had to cut with a knife. Excellent service and all the staff were incredibly friendly. We came specifically to eat outside and it didn't disappoint. Loved the atmosphere.

    Food simply not worth the price. Pork overcooked, wedge salad was just a head of iceberg lettuce

    Food was great! Oysters on the half- shell were excellent. Shrimp cocktail were small shrimp but really fresh and tasty. I had the Salmon dinner and again, it was excellent. Atmosphere was disappointing as we were hoping to sit outside since it was a nice evening but the outside was closed. They said it was due to the weather? We still had a window seat but we were drawn in by the reviews about the amazing views from the top deck. Maybe next time. 🙂 Service was great and very friendly. Overall nice evening for our first night in Orlando. We will definitely be back next time we are in Orlando.
