"Went on a Monday so we could have a quick dinner for 3. Well much to our surprise right after we ordered 2 big parties and a conference came in. After that we go what I would swear was the last 3 Biscuits and our drinks, the food took a bit. It was so busy and they did not have the staff. It looked like they planned for the conference room but not the floor, I saw the manager walking around but he never had anything in his hands, checking to make sure the conference people were happy because he was not walking around to make sure the dining room was happy. My father had all you can eat shrimp and it took forever, which led me to belive the kitchen was staffed properly either. Our waitress was so busy it was kinda hard to get her attention, but she was doing the best she could and super nice. Maybe we will try a Tuesday next time. Food was good, what you would expect. So I am not blaming her at all she was being run all over and was trying her best."

"The restaurant appeared seriously understaffed. It took over an hour for our food to arrive. The waiter was scrambling around to service everyone and he was not penalized but service was just too slow. The food was good but I do have one gripe. The shrimp linguine with Alfredo arrived with the tails on the shrimp. I hate digging through a thick sauce to pull tails off! The two of us spent over 80 dollars and will probably not go back."

"Customer Sevice was awesome! DILL is such a good server! Worked his tail off tonight! He has been my server frequently for years! ALWAYS does an OUTSTANDING job! GREAT attitude! Food was AWESOME! They were a little short staffed tonight, but the new GM came in to help out! A GREAT manager and leader, is somebody that is willing to do the same type of work as they ask of their employees.Keep up the GREAT work!"

"Nice place and not crowded. Prices are just very high for what you are getting. No one expects Red lobster to be premium seafood but the prices are almost as high as nicer locations in the gulch. I got the pick two shrimp for 17 dollars. It totaled 9 pieces of shrimp I counted. The cheddar bay biscuit stuffing is not worth the side just get the free biscuits. The salad was just spring mix and shredded cheese with a few croutons the lemon vinaigrette is pretty tasty though. The crab legs are only snow crab and priced inline with any other restaurant but are cheaper on Tuesday so come then. Drinks remain cheap and that's a big plus particularly enjoyed the 5 dollar margarita. Of course the cheddar bay biscuits are worth the trip. Our bartender was very nice. The restaurant itself is a dated interior it was pretty empty on a Friday. The bar is unkempt and has a malfunctioning TV that kept going into sleep mode every 5 minutes vs playing the game we asked for. It's also right by what appears to be storage and dish cleaning. The rest of the restaurant is tidy if uninteresting while playing the best pop music hits of 2007. Parking is easy being part of the large mall complex and location is easy to get to from the interstate just a mile off River gate exit."

"Melody was my bartender. Melody was very attentive and polite. I ordered the new holiday cocktail seaside smore Martini. Great service Definitely will return"
