Initially they asked if we had a reservation for our party of 3, and although we did not, they sat us right away. There was a good selection of options on the menu with seafood dishes standing out imo. The Salmon and Crab was excellent and my coworker had the fish of the day (Red Fish) and had good things to say. Service was a bit slow, especially toward the end of our meal, but maybe that was because it started getting busy around 630pm. All and all I'd say it's worth a stop!

They have 8 to 10 different beers on tap, and however many in cans. They have appetizers, burgers, and sandwiches on the menu. I think a couple of salads too.

Unfortunately, what followed felt less like a return to a favorite and more like a reminder of how far a once-reliable experience can drift. The dining room was modestly busy primarily four-top tables already filled yet the pace at the entrance suggested a restaurant operating beyond its rhythm. I waited to be seated while the staff moved with the weary urgency of a team stretched thin. When I was finally shown to my table, the tone was set: my server appeared courteous, but understandably worn, as though the evening had already asked too much. The meal itself mirrored the atmosphere. The shrimp appetizer arrived first -- competent, but uninspired. Perfectly acceptable, yet lacking the brightness or seasoning that might make it memorable. It did its job, but no more. The chicken sandwich followed, and here the disappointment settled in. It was serviceable, but noticeably removed from the quality and character I remembered. The texture, the flavor, the overall execution all felt diminished, as if the recipe remained but the care had quietly left the kitchen. By the end of the visit, the experience began to explain the lower online reviews. Nothing was outright poor, yet nothing rose above ordinary. And for a brand that once stood out, ordinary feels like a missed opportunity. There is clearly a strong foundation here, one built over years and loyal customers who remember when the food and service carried more energy and consistency. Perhaps the path forward isn't reinvention, but a return. A return to the standards, the recipes, and the attention that made this location worth the visit in the first place. But then again, what do I know? I'm just someone who's been coming back since the Florida days, hoping to taste what made it special.

Had to yell to get bartender attention EVERY TIME to order drinks, apps, food, refills, to go box, and tab - then had to ask again at least once every time. Managers an absolute joke!! I think there were three of them. They played on phones, drank energy drinks, and were basic jerks (brought food to bartender and held in front of her face maybe three inches away at eye level, just standing there, while bartender had both hands busy mixing drink; brought six pack out for refill and sat beer on closest corner to their hang out table so beer just sat there vs taking three more steps and putting in fridge; ignored crying waitress on first day of job; no help while people stood waiting for hostess; not one interaction with a customer). Not one dirty beer mug bussed causing a huge number of dirty glasses sitting on all sides of bar the entire time. Bartender's uneducated on how to pour a beer resulting in lots of foam and wasted beer. Bartenders putting steins directly in ice bin to cool down after filling with beer then pouring out when realizing too warm (the bin they use for ice of actual drinks). So many unbussed tables plus three tables with items being used by managers sitting around with crap all over them. Five waitresses (one was new) and three managers - maybe 15 customers total and this was the state of things. No toilet paper in restrooms. What a joke!
