    We have been coming to this place for 20 years and it has gone through a few owners in that time…read more Some have been good some not so much, but it's always been a popular spot right on the water with a great atmosphere, decent drinks, and varying quality of food. Visited for dinner 3x this year and the new owners seem to have focused on the food being better. Gone twice for Friday night fish fry and the quality of the fish has been a pleasant surprise. I distinctly remember last year coming in later in the evening for a fish fry and getting a baked potato that was a dried out relic. Ordered one this year and it was fresh and hot. Little things like that make a big difference. Fish seems to be hand breaded and they also offered a broiled option which comes with delicious garlic butter to dip it in. You can get soup and salad bar and the soup is always good although the salad bar can be a bit picked over if you come in later like we tend to... My dad has ordered the drunken captain chicken twice and raves about it. Even the picky eaters in our family are content going there. We had the same waitress on a couple trips and she is so friendly and attentive you never have an empty drink. I would say my only complaint is the old fashioned. They are so small you take a couple sips and it's empty. Bigger Glasses! Overall it seems like they are intent on moving this place in the right direction. It used to be the top spot in town and hopefully it is again! Lots of things to do...pool tables, video games, and they always seem to have music, trivia, karaoke or something going on. We haven't hung out in the tiki bar yet this year I'll leave that for the next review...

    So, iv been to this bar once and there was nothing special about it, thats not all , service seemed…read moreto take awhile and they couldn't care about you. Iv been doing some recent reading into this business and found out that they treat their staff very very badly, especially this most recent case with someone who had diabetes. Dont go here!! Dont support this business who treats employees like trash! Gilligans inside is just a dump to be in as wel. The food, more worth it to go to McDonald's.

Visited here to have lunch and ordered the "fish tacos" which was a piece of fried cod on top of a cold store tortilla with store bought slaw slopped in between. Disappointing for 11.00. Have to say the fish itself was really good though.

    Go for their Friday Fish-Fry Basket!…read more My friend and I arrived around 5:15pm on Friday. Street parking was easy. We were lucky and grabbed the last open table since we were going to order dinner. Our server greeted us promptly, handed us menus and asked for our drink order. I ordered my favorite beer on tap - New Glarus' 'Spotted Cow', opting for their 16 oz. size instead of the 22 oz., and we each ordered their two-piece fish basket with french fries. Our beers were served quickly and we waited, maybe 10 minutes for our fish baskets to arrive. Both the fish and the fries were PIPING HOT! Excellent! Along with the fish and fries, there was a small paper cup of coleslaw that was pretty tasty. The exterior of the ketchup and the tarter sauce condiment bottles on the table were really gross; seems they don't get cleaned much. But the tarter sauce was good with the hunks of perfectly fried fish (which I'll guess was Cod). The fries were the thick slabs of potato and really substantial. The meal was *very* filling. We got our check without any delay (two beers and two 2-piece fish baskets = $35) and left after paying our bill so as to free up the table for someone else.

    The reason I gave 2 stars and not one is solely the waitress. She was great.Continually coming by…read moremaking sure the table had everything. Serving with a genuine warm smile. Not often you get waitstaff that has an actual caring attitude. She absolutely did with our table and the others around us. Now the food is pretty good. Could be better with some simple spices. Prices are a little on the high side. Not outrageous, but I ate here a few years back and knew the prices were a little high. With that said. Ordered a fried catfish other person ordered a combo club soup and sandwich seemed a proper size sandwich.The Cajun catfish was good but bland. The sandwich tasted good. I didn't taste the soup. Ordered a Steak and Caesar salad it comes with garlic bread, I added mashed potatoes and steamed veggies to go. 2 pieces of chocolate cake. We also had an 4 seasons appetizer platter. It was pretty good. The steak meal was to go. Now I must accept responsibility for not checking the to go bag and not making sure the waitress knew we wanted the mashed potatoes and steamed veggies. Reason I say that. Is I ordered a steak from another line that came with wild rice. So i did change to the other steak meal. So I get home and open all the boxes and a salad was in big box. Chocolate cake in the other 2 big boxes, and the Big Mac size box had the steak and garlic bread in it. I assumed the steak meal was one of the bigger boxes. Why would you put a steak in the box with the bread it will make it soggy. It did. But I opened the boxes and was shocked. Now I wasn't expecting a tomahawk steak. But wow. I grabbed my food scale and weighed the steak. I went on Chat gpt and asked if a steak weighed 6oz would it cook down that small,Chat said no. A normal 6oz steak would have cooked to 4-5 oz. I'm sure folks on here will debate this. So there is the picture and information. I did call the manager and he said next time I come in let him know he'd take care of it next time we come in. When I call a manager I'm not calling for free food. I'm calling to let you have the information for you to fix it going forward. Up to them. So as you see in the photo you could tear the garlic bread in half and make a steak slider out it. It's to bad that restaurants have to order from Sysco or US foods. With all the meat markets we have here. Totally changes the flavor of the meat for the better and has more vitamins getting it from a local meat market versus the highly processed foods and meats from the national chain. But a restaurant hands are tied. Why Sysco blocks local meat sourcing 1. Exclusive purchasing contracts Most Sysco agreements require: * 80-100% of food spend through Sysco * Meat is always included in that requirement Buying steaks from a local butcher = contract violation. Ok so to finish up. The Ambiance feel is a combination sports bar with cabin feel. Lastly when we walked in there were folks at tables spaced away from each other all over the restaurant. I truly love that. You can talk in private at your table. But as we say there they filled nearly every table around our table. Before the restaurant and former restaurant folks start. I worked in restaurants so has my family some of them their entire lives some even own restaurants so. I fully know and understand how seating works with fairness to waitstaff. I also understand that if someone was getting off work you'd fill the seats of the waitstaff that still working through. But there were a ton of empty tables. No need to rack and stack us on top of each other. Kills the vibe. If a restaurant is empty as this one was at that time. In summary great staff. Bland food.

    Log jams not a fan of these at all. No flavor at all the crust was too thick…read more Onions rings these are beer battered these were pretty good. Creamy bruschetta's not you typical bruschetta more like a pizza Bbq wings now these where very good wish they where a little but more crispy Over all I will be back again. We had a very nice waitress

The perfect blend of spicy and sweet. We're a gluten free household and all of these items were safe! The wait staff - amazing! So kind, the right level of attentive, and helpful. The vibe is... unique. At one point, I realized we were all just scanning the room taking in the decor. One of my friends said "this is like an I Spy game". It was a friendly and fun place.

    We were in town running errands twice within a week and came in for lunch both days as we thought…read morethe good and service was great. We sat at the bar in both occasions so the bartenders were our severs. Both ladies were attendant friendly. Our first lunch, I ordered the BLTA sandwich with Seashore Fries. The sandwich was delicious. Bacon thick and crispy. Having the avocado really brightened the sandwich. I didn't care for the seashore fries. They weren't thin or thick. Couldn't taste the potato. They were just there in my opinion. These could change. My husband ordered the special, a Lobster roll. He said it was absolutely delicious. Super flavorful. Tasted fresh. A lot of lobster in the sandwich. For the side, he ordered the sweet potato tots. Although a large portion, these were soggy and not crispy. The second visit my husband ordered the special again. A salmon sandwich. He loved this as well. Full of flavor. Cooked medium rare. Delicious. For the side he upgraded to the cheese curds. These were hot, crispy and delicious. I ordered the Rueben. So delicious. I've never had a Rueben with such thick cut corned beef before. So flavorful. I loved the horseradish which I believe was in the dressing. For the side, I upgraded to the onion rings. I would not order these again. Mostly breading and couldn't taste the onions. We thought the food was delicious. I'm docking a star for the fries, tots and onion rings. These could be better. But mainly for charging me .75 for 2 small packets of mayo and charging an extra 3.5% for using a cc. The charge for the mayo is just petty and the cc fee is the cost of doing business. I'll never understand this.
