    It is unfortunate I had to put this review down but it is the honest review on this restaurant. We found this place well out on our boat 2 years ago. We liked the food and used to go few times a week. Rating for Food - GOOD.
    Now the bad part -
    Service - Wait staff - young, slow,
    Actually-REAL SLOW
    Food- Takes forever to get your appetizers and meal.
    This was always the case here whether crowded or empty. We have waited over 1-1/2 hours for a meal here. It has been a year since we have been there due to this fact. Last night we decided to take the boat over there and eat with friends, so what happens, outside deck - closed on a Sunday unless you pay $10 dollars a person for an oldies band (nothing special either) So we eat inside, multiple familes keep coming with kids, who normally play outside- NOPE can not do so. So there are crying kids and pissed off parents all over, a bunch left, we didn't have ours with us or we would have left also. THIS WAS THE LAST STRAW- I realize you are in business to make money COME ON Greedy, Slow Service , Slow food ( would guess understaffed in the kitchen or just plain cheap),Inexpierenced Children as wait staff.
    Sorry we are done here. We know others and this happened there, 6 came in to eat a storm came up, after repeated questions that they had to go becuase they were on a small boat they said they had to go after 1.5 hours waiting on sandwiches. The rain had started and was looking bad out. Group went to leave because of poor unprofessional service. Manager called police and they had to pay and recieved no food. WTF is with this place
    So Rating

    Service- Horrid

    Attitude - Horrid

    outstanding food: Was very pleasantly surprised w/ quality of the food. Especially the crab cakes. Also, the andoulle sausage appetizer was excellent (large enough for 2-3). Prices good for quality and quantity. Right on the tip, at the Yacht club. Would recommed highly
