We drive by here all the time going to Ray's, so we thought we would give it a try. My daughter had been previously, and she seemed to like it.
The reviews that I had read, including one from the day before did not appear promising regarding service.
The first thing that strikes you is there is no valet service. I can certainly park my own car, and the handicap spot I use is right across from the door, so it's not really a big deal.
This isn't really common in the bucket area where we live and dine.
We had a 745 reservation, but they weren't ready for us yet. I took the time to wander around and look at the restaurant since I've never been there, and found an entire wing empty overlooking the water. Well, Shrek's swamp.
I mentioned to the hostess that we would be happy to sit at this place overlooking the water, and she said that she would look into it.
About 10 minutes later, the manager came to us and told us that we couldn't sit in there yet, that this party that was leaving was at the table I talked about, so they would have to clean it up and get it ready for us and it would be a few more minutes.
These people weren't sitting anywhere near the wing, so the manager was completely mistaken, or just didn't want to accommodate us right then. I don't know.
Honestly, the food was acceptable, but not really anything to write home about.
The manager did come over and comp our queso appetizer, so that was nice.
As with the previous reviews, I had read, our server wasn't as available as you might want in a higher end restaurant.
Overall, an average experience. Not bad, not great, just OK.
