Reviews
we’re our main courses (sorry no photo) Both were delicious. I especially enjoyed the Mahi Mahi. The scallops and roasted red potatoes were delicious. Our waitress was very kind and always checking on us. Great 1st time visit, would go again if we lived near one!
Reply to manager- >>Side note- my pist eas written at the table and sent before you came to our table. To clarify, I was disappointed by the overall service and experience at your establishment. I would like to provide detailed feedback in the hope that it helps improve future customer experiences.
– Initial Service: When our waitress first approached the table, her demeanor came across as dismissive and unwelcoming. First impressions are critical in hospitality, and unfortunately, this set a negative tone for the evening.
– Attention to Tables: Much of the staff’s attention was directed toward another table dealing with unrelated concerns about writing on their car windows. While I understand that situations arise, this issue was not connected to the restaurant and should not have taken precedence over serving paying customers.
– Food Service: After our food was delivered, the waitress disappeared for an extended period. Even guests at table 10 were looking for her, and another staff member had to track her down. When she was finally flagged by our table, she asked if we needed her, but then walked away without assisting us. By this time, my food had already gone cold, and I felt compelled to eat it as-is.
– Endless Oysters: we asked the waitress several questions about the endless oysters and she acted as though we should have already knew the answers. I don’t care if we were at a fast food restaurant or a 5 michelin star restaurant, any questions should be addressed without an attitude or assuming anything. The only way to find out something is to ask.
– Timing: We arrived shortly after 7 p.m., yet service delays and inattentiveness meant that by the time you checked on us, it was nearly 9 p.m. Asking about our needs so late in the evening felt rushed and insincere.
Overall Impression
Our table was neglected for much of the visit, and the service we did receive was inconsistent and inattentive. While I chose to stay because a member of my party wanted the oyster special, had I been dining alone, I would have left immediately. The lack of attentiveness, cold food, and dismissive attitude from staff made the experience unsatisfactory.
I hope this feedback is taken constructively, as improving attentiveness and professionalism could greatly enhance the dining experience for future guests.
Edit: I came back in today to have some drinks and light appetizers at the bar. I wish I could give this place 6 stars. The service is amazing!! Keep up the good work!
