    Our waiter completely forgot about us so we Left. Never checked on us to take our orders and never even got our waters when it was first thing we asked for when we sat down

    The service was good. The people greeted you well and the wait staff was attentive. The cheese seafood dip tasted good. The stuffed catfish was very tasting. The flavors were delicious. The stuffed red snapper was a bit dry.

    The oysters are so YUM. The fish & chips plate was HUGE & the stuffed jalepenos were amazing. We mostly got a variety of each oyster dish! 😋

    The food is really disappointing. This restaurant is on the water and should be serving fresh fish and seafood but everything is so obviously not fresh. I expected more for sure! Service was awesome.

    We sat outside and being by the water was pleasant. The sound of the little train was annoying, and the restaurant’s music conflicted with the live music coming from the sound stage a few yards away. Our servers were nice but the food was average. I ordered the salmon salad with charred corn and the dressing on the side and I got a green salad with some bacon tossed in, no charred corn. The salmon was tasty as was the dressing but when I pointed the bacon out to the server she told me it was just salmon skin. It was not.
