What People Are Saying

Overall Experience

The dining experience appears to be largely negative, with concerns about service and mandatory fees overshadowing positive aspects like food quality. The average rating suggests significant dissatisfaction among customers.

Customer Favorites

Garlic butter sauce and the "Bucket for One" combo are mentioned as particularly tasty. The "S and S" and chicken Alfredo plate were also liked and noted for generous portions.

Atmosphere & Service

Service is a major point of contention, with complaints about inattentiveness, being ignored, and slow responses despite low occupancy. Jason is mentioned as a waiter who provided excellent service.

Value & Quality

While some found the food tasty and portions generous, the mandatory 18% service charge is a recurring concern, perceived by some as negatively impacting value. Seafood prices were considered high despite proximity to the bay.

Areas for Improvement

Improving customer service and addressing concerns about the mandatory 18% service charge are the most pressing needs. Addressing concerns around sales tax on gratuity would also be beneficial.

Recent Trends

Recent reviews highlight issues with inattentive service, the mandatory service charge, and a potential decline in customer volume. The automatic gratuity seemingly correlates with a perceived lack of customer service prioritization.
