We were disappointed with the service. They brought out a dish we didn’t order, and when one of the waitresses came over to remove it, she did so angrily, as if it was our fault for the mistake. We confronted her, but she was rude and unapologetic. We also had to ask twice for a bottle of wine, which they forgot. When the main meal was served to all five of us, the entire team came out, making the situation awkward as though we were special guests. Once again, they gave us the wrong meal — instead of half chicken, we received a whole chicken, and sweet potato chips we hadn’t ordered. They just couldn’t get it right. Additionally, the boat was docked, so there wasn’t much of a view. Overall, it wasn’t worth it, and we have no plans to return.

Food was excellent, our waiter was excellent, views amazing. I highly recommend Squire’s Waterfront Restaurant except for the hosts. They seemed confused and needed to constantly look down at the iPad instead of welcoming guests!

Second time dinning here and felt very rushed as thought the staff were trying to get us in and out. Food was nice but not worth how much we paid. Quality has defiantly dropped off since our first visit.
