How are you doing the Cinco de Mayo dinner cruise which was from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM. Upon entering, it was very professionally set up they took your name at the door and as soon as you walked in was the bar which was very convenient so you can get your drink before you sit. The two bartenders said they were fairly new, but I cannot tell they held it down all night. Drinks were on point and they were getting the line down really fast no matter how long it got. Drinks were also very reasonably priced. I don't think I paid over five dollars for any drink. As for the food, the cruise included a unlimited taco bar, which was very good. The chips were very fresh and the meat was very well seasoned. I love that they include fresh guac and fresh sour cream, which I think is the perfect addition to any taco bar! They get 5 stars from me!!

Took my friend on a boat ride on the Hakuna Matata. It was a beautiful day and we had a great…read moretime. The boat had a bar and restrooms on it. You could sit in top or bottom or stand on the bow. And if you are a kid or kid at heart, the captain with let you drive the boat. The gift shop at the harbor is nice and large. Lots to choice from and they give free wine tasting. This was great to do before the boat ride because we were able to determine which wine we liked on the boat. There is also a restaurant right there if you want to grab a bit to eat.

But at least early evenings it's been tough to sit outside in this weather. I wonder if a large fan or misters would help? Food seemed acceptable although somewhat limited and basic. Charcuterie board was okay but nothing on it overly special. Need to do a better job updating website. Not everyone has Facebook or Instagram. For example tonight was "80's night" but the website had it as July 31st, a week ago. And in the graphic it was listed as 7pm to 11pm but on the events calendar 6:45pm to 10:45pm. I also see an upcoming murder mystery dinner for August 29th that is not even listed on the events calendar. Closing due to private events should also be clearly communicated. Clarity and correctness matters. Then on tonight's bill there was an extra $5 added to a $12 glass of wine. On the requested receipt, it looks like maybe a glass charge? Which was never offered or accepted. And unfortunately since they hand you a handheld electronic device as your "bill" with only the grand total showing instead of the itemized bill, it's difficult to figure out what you're paying for. I will be back. I want this place to succeed. But there is definitely room for improvement.

There are lots of vintage pinball and other games. There is a pile of board games to play and a dart board. When we visited (right before Christmas), there was Christmas music playing and The Grinch movie up without sound. My boyfriend got a heavy pour flight of 4 different meads for $18. He liked the mead and left with two bottles. I thought it was very cold inside (definitely a dissatisfier for me). Also, it was quite loud between the talking, music and game machines.

Big, clean bathrooms, super friendly employees. The place had an overall great vibe. St Charles is a bit of a hike for me, but I'd make the trip to go back to this place.
