For our entrees, I had the seafood platter, my bride had the shrimp scampi. Finally for dessert we shared a slice of the caramel cheesecake. THE ATMOSPHERE: The restaurant is on the water with bar seating and white cloth table dining in several rooms. If you're looking for seaside dining Pirates Cove will suite you fine. THE FOOD: Our appetizers... My French onion soup was made like a traditional French onion soup with plenty of melted cheese and oodles of onions. There were plenty of mussels bathed in a delicious white wine and butter base for my brides mussels appetizer. Our entrees... My seafood platter featured a small serving of white fish, which was nice and juicy, two small stuffed shrimp, which were quite tasty, two scallops made properly (not under cooked and slimy or overcooked and rubbery). My brides shrimp scampi featured 5 small shrimp over a bed of linguine. The dish was well made with hints of garlic and butter in the balanced cream sauce. The dessert: Our caramel cheesecake dessert was creamy and rich. THE SERVICE: It's always a challenge for a server to serve large parties, but our server did great. Delivered our drinks in a timely fashion watched over us for any needed refills and clearly explained any questions we had. THE BOTTOM LINE: As always with my reviews, the "customer so what" would I return is complicated for the Pirates Cove. My answer... probably not. Why not if the food was prepared properly, the ambiance was fitting for a seafood restaurant and the service was fine? The answer lies in serving size, price and add on charges. I don't mind paying premium prices for a premium meal but Pirates Cove charged $40 for a seafood platter that should more realistically be called a seafood sampling. At $36 My wife's shrimp scampi should have featured large shrimp instead of the small shrimp she received. And, finally, the add on prices which included a 3% service charge and a whopping 21% tip. I don't mind tipping heavily for good service and our server would have probably gotten 25% if it was my choice. However, I HATE having a restaurant dictate what I'll tip! I understand mandatory tipping for a large party but I've never seen it set at 21%! As for the service charge, it was placed on every bill whether you paid with a credit card or not. One of my guests asked if that was a credit card fee (which I hate as well) and was told if he paid cash, our servers would take that fee off. How many people didn't know enough to ask that question, and end up paying that fee when paying with cash?? I hate underhanded trickery like that and discourage it by not returning. In summary you'll have to ask yourself before dining at Pirates Cove, is the food, ambiance and service quality worth the rest? If it is, enjoy. As for me, I'll skip it. There are too many other great seafood places that will provide quality dining, great service and atmosphere without the unwelcome luggage included.

Palm City Social gets four stars from me, although the road to those four stars involved some…read morepatience, a hearing-aid shutdown, and enough waiting time to briefly reconsider several life choices. Making the reservation through OpenTable was easy, and from the outside, Palm City Social makes a great first impression. Nice-looking place, inviting entrance, and everything suggested we were in for a polished dining experience. Then we walked inside. The dining room has more of an upscale food-hall-meets-diner-with-a-bar vibe, and the acoustics are... ambitious. Every conversation, fork, glass and chair seemed to ricochet around the room like it had somewhere important to be. I wear hearing aids and eventually turned them off because apparently they were doing their job a little too well. Silence, or at least partial silence, was an improvement. Our waitress was very pleasant and friendly. The issue wasn't personality. The issue was actually seeing her. She took my cocktail order and a water for my wife, and about 15 minutes later the bartender arrived with both. At that point, I was happy to see anybody carrying liquid in our direction. Then began The Wait. A table of four was seated directly behind us after we arrived. They were promptly greeted, told the day's specials, and had an appetizer order taken while we sat there wondering whether we had accidentally selected Palm City Social's new "Invisible Table Experience." I was sitting with my face in my hand watching this unfold when I learned, entirely by eavesdropping, that the restaurant apparently had specials. Good to know. Eventually -- voilà! -- our waitress returned and told us about them. At that point, I was afraid if we said, "Give us another minute," we might not see her again until dessert, so we ordered immediately. I went with the Chicken Milanese, and my wife ordered the Kung Pao Cauliflower. And because I was now conducting an unofficial field study, I started a timer. Exactly 30 minutes later, the food arrived. Fortunately, this is where Palm City Social earned back a lot of goodwill. The Chicken Milanese was excellent: panko-and-Parmesan-crusted Bell & Evans chicken over piquillo pepper and artichoke tapenade, topped with baby arugula and local tomato in a white balsamic vinaigrette, finished with hand-grated Reggiano and fresh lemon. It sounds like a lot going on, but it all worked. The chicken was crisp and flavorful, the tapenade was an excellent accompaniment, and the fresh arugula, tomatoes, Parmesan and lemon balanced everything nicely. Very fresh, very tasty, and clearly prepared with some care. My wife's Kung Pao Cauliflower was also very good. Oven-roasted and glazed cauliflower with house-made kung pao sauce, chile nut crumble and scallions over coconut-herb basmati rice and local vegetables. Fresh, flavorful and substantial enough that nobody is going to mistake it for three sad pieces of cauliflower pretending to be dinner. So, despite the slow service, I'm sticking with four stars. The waitress was lovely, the food was legitimately good, and nothing about the service felt rude or careless. It felt more like they may simply need another server or two when the restaurant gets busy. My biggest suggestion: if you're sensitive to noise, eat outside. Next time, that's exactly what we'll do. The outdoor area looked much more relaxing, and I suspect my hearing aids and I will both appreciate the decision. I'd also probably come back for lunch and see how the place feels during a quieter part of the day. Bottom line: the food is worth trying. Just bring a little patience. And if you're sitting inside, perhaps some acoustic paneling. Or earmuffs.

Grade F (all facets)…read more AVOID - This place is no longer what it used to be. We've been coming since it opened and this WILL BE OUR LAST TIME. Decided to stop in for tuna stack and guacamole (that we've previously enjoyed on prior occasions). Seemed odd that on a Thursday evening at 6pm the hostess asked if we had reservations. That should have tipped us off that things were different. The bar was full and the very loud. Our server didn't know what fish was on the special for the evening. We weren't enticed, so we went with our original order. Then the disappointment set in; the tuna stack was literally have the size of the ones we've had there. The mango salsa layer wasn't salsa it was bland chopped mango. The bottom layer of guac was about an inch and the chop tuna was light pink to white (at best). Needless to say the "shareable" lasted about three bites each for two people. Regretfully, we ordered the guacamole that was also disappointing. The portion was smaller than before and lacked flavor (seasoning). A few nuggets of corn topper and no cheese (as described on the menu). That "shareable" comes with a salsa that was the coup de grâce of disappointment; it was runny and lacked any semblance of chopped vegetables. It literally tasted like spaghetti sauce and not the good type. We pulled up our Yelp review from last year and sure enough the portions are not even close in terms of size or presentation. We showed the server our pics from last year's Yelp post and she said that she's never had that order. She gave the chef our feedback. Later on she came back and said the chef acknowledged the "salsa" consistency. He offered to make a fresh batch... our plates were gone by that time and we weren't about to take that offer. The grand finale ended with the check being delivered and our server telling us "an automatic 18% service fee is added to the check"... my wife and I looked at each other with utter disgust. We wasted $47 on two awful shareables and one unsweetened tea. It's sad to see yet another restaurant go down the drain so quickly. It seems like PSC went under new management and lost their kitchen and serving staff. Uploading a new pic of the "soupy salsa" to compare with what we previously had

Several items were so badly burned that even my dogs wouldn't eat them. The pork chop was also so overwhelmingly salty that it was impossible to enjoy. When you're paying nearly $100 for a pickup order, you expect food to be prepared with care and checked before it leaves the kitchen. Unfortunately, this meal was a complete waste of money and did not reflect the quality I was hoping for. I hope the restaurant takes more care with future takeout orders because this experience was incredibly disappointing.

The birthday girl had the short rib grilled cheese which looked exactly like the pictures. She managed to eat the whole thing. I had the steamed clams. The presentation was totally unexpected. It had a pizza dough topper that was puffed up with the clams, linguica & broth nice and steamy underneath. It was an amazing preparation and the dough helped tame some of the spiciness from the linguica. We all said we would come back. I would give this restaurant a solid 4.5 stars as the refill of our water was a big sluggish. Since you cannot rate in 1/2 star increments, I gave it a 5.
