A mixed bag but overall negative. I brought my mother here as she is a fan of Jimmy buffet and has never been to a Margaritaville, and she was really disappointed.
Food was fine, we had the shrimp dip to start, which was actually really lovely and we'd recommend and she had the grilled fish Tacos, which she said were nice. I had a lobster roll which did not taste great but my mum liked it so I think it was me who didn't like the taste rather than it being bad... but out lettuce was wilted and soggy and made the whole thing unappetising.
The main downside for us was the service. The host was pretty unbothered by us when we arrived. our server spoke very quietly and the place was loud so it was difficult to hear, but the main issue was the brought out our main course right after our appetiser, which seeing as they were all hot dishes meant some got cold or we were mixing flavours. I am from the uk (currently living in NY) where this is the is a total non starter, but I have never experienced it at a sit down restaurant before in the US without at least a warning, or more time between bringing it. It must have been 2 minutes. Then as soon as we finished our cheque was brought before we were asked if we'd like any more drinks or a dessert, so not impressed.
Atmosphere was good, as I mentioned it was loud but it was fine at the table, and they had a lot of sports on the TVs which was distracting, but that may be what they were going for. I also like the decor, I have seen people say it's dated but to me it was themed.
After our meal the manager came over and asked how it was, and offered us a complimentary dessert when my mother informed him we were not happy which we declined as we were about to leave but it was a nice gesture, and said that that he'd have words with the wait staff. He also explained that a lot of people come here pre theatre so not a lot of people sit for a relaxed meal, which is understandable if that had been explained to us so we could have said we'd like a more relaxed time. From walk in to when we were given the bill it was about 45 mins. For something that was about $60 per person, we expected more.
