So where do I start? We arrived pretty early, around 4p and got seated immediately. The waiter was one of the best ever, very attentive and even brought out a fun BDay dessert for my daughter. He was awesome!! If every restaurant had that guy, there'd never be a complaint!
Anyway back to the food...This place had some of the best choices we've had in a while! We tried oysters Rockefeller, which were realllllllllly good! Also had the Seafood Trio, Crab Stuffed Salmon and the Northern Halibut! All 3 main dishes were to die for, SO good! We tried several sides and there wasn't a single negative thing we could say about anything! Food was AMAZING!!! The only sad part was that we couldn't stuff more in our stomachs! SO gooood....
The restaurant was themed well, with a live Koi pond, several cheeky turtles swimming around and several fun spots to take pictures. We ate our dinner outside on the deck/patio area, where you could see the marina in the background. My daughter very much enjoyed the experience, so thank you!!!
The food alone should have made it a 5 star review experience, but then we got the check. On all the menus it mentioned a 15% "service charge" with no explanation, only that it would be added to the bill. During Covid many places were doing stuff like that, but that's over. Why are they still charging some huge extra amount of money on top of the overly inflated prices for the food. Three people eating there was $155 + $21 for invisible "service charge" + a tip! Most the time I don't care about extra charges, but this place had such good food, so I just felt like because the food was good, they decided they could just tack on any extra 15% just because they can!
So my vote is 5 stars for the food, 5 stars for the service and 1 star for the price/extra charges! If you don't mind throwing away an extra $20+ spot for no reason, you'll love the food! I think this place has potential but a service charge for nothing seems wrong. If they added a couple more dollars to each menu item so you didn't see their stupid "service charge", I think more people would return because they wouldn't realize they were takin' a ride on the money train to hell for nothing....Will we return? Yes, probably, but still won't be happy about paying for nothing. Come for the food and service, just be prepared to pay a pretty penny to eat here!
