"If I can put no star I would!! The food was not good at all i waited 30 minutes for a pizza that never came my husband ask the waiter and he proceeds to tell us the cook doesn’t understand English and they’ve been arguing and does not think the pizza will be made… I don’t understand why we couldn’t be told this 15-20 minutes ago and just unprofessional my kids never got there food. At least take something off the bill for the inconvenience.. these workers need to be retrained in proper customer service."

"This is a great place to eat if you have plenty of time to wait for your food, if you don’t have a problem asking for refills and if you are okay with watching guest who arrived after you, receive their food before you. Not to mention if you are okay with choosing the average selection of food and then be told 15 minutes later what you ordered is no longer available. Oh and you also have to be okay with the fact that if you arrive and the ENTIRE kitchen staff goes on break at the same time!!!!! Who does that. The manager was more concerned with hanging out at the bar and chatting clusters up than ensuring the 1 server she had was getting customers taken care of. This is an ocean front restaurant with Applebee’s style food. We eventually got our food an hour after we ordered it. The food was good for what it was. What was appalling is the fact that the manager didn’t have any sense of urgency to ensure guests were being served properly. I will definitely find somewhere else to eat!!"

"Upon entering there was nearly 20 mins before even being acknowledged that we were there. We asked for fries and a kids mac and cheese so we could feed our little one first. The fries came quickly but only about half were able to be eaten. They appeared to have taken 2 trips in the oil or just left in too long. The mac and cheese came about 45 mins later cold and with the rest of the food. The service area is open and all of the servers were just congregated there having a blast. Of the 3 people in the kitchen, 2 seemed idle for most of the time we were there. Right before the food came our server remembered that the mac and cheese was suppose to come with the fries and blurted that out loudly. The $14 burger was pretty poor quality beef, over cooked, and cold with again over cooked fries. The salmon was good but overcooked as well. Buffalo chicken was cold and a cheap patty with dried franks red hot on it. If we weren't starving and had walked there, we would have gone elsewhere. Great view."

"First of all my husband and I wanted to sit by the beach and this restaurant happened to be near by on our walk. We wait to be seated and already one of the servers is having an attitude with another server and is coming off unwilling to seat us. She seats us anyways with an annoyance as if we were disturbing her obviously not busy restaurant. We ask her if we could sit at the tables by the water and immediately argues with us and says no and gives us some lame excuse to why we can’t sit by the water. End up getting served by another more polite server. The food was questionable, the prices is nice and inexpensive but like they say you get what you paid for. It’s very obvious that some of the food is microwaved but that’s just my opinion. The quality was just not their for the food. The restaurant it self was clean and well kept a and that’s the only nice thing I could say about it."

"Stopped in for a quick bite. Upon entering everyone was friendly. Was greeted by Pauly who is also the bartender and he makes the best drinks ever. We ordered cod fish and chips and peel and eat shrimp takeout. Very tasty and fresh. Will definitely be back again soon."
