The food here was good, but the service and personality of the workers had alot to be desired. When we walked in, the guy behind the bar looked at us without a greeting. I said that we would like a table for 2 and he told us it was not that kind of place. He said we can sit anywhere. We sat down and the guy behind the bar was also our waiter. He was very short amd not very personable. We were not very well attended to, but yet, he was flirting with the women behind us. I would not come here again eventhough the food was good.

We used to frequent this restaurant many years ago when we lived at the oceanfront and it was awesome, so I was thrilled to get a coupon for them. The night we went they were out of many things on the menu we wanted, we waited a long time for our food, and when it came out, part of the order was wrong (its not like they were that busy either). Our waitress disappeared after taking our order, and later we discovered that she was gone...not sure what that was all about, but the guys behind the bar finished serving us after she disappeared. I had raved to one of my friends about how good the place was, so was very disappointed and will probably never return. Read more Read less
