Steamers come with what I consider the best broth I've ever had and the Calamari w/ home made marinara. Servers are quick, friendly and efficient.

We each chose the wings appetizer, with Mom's "as hot as ketchup" and mine in Buffalo sauce that was reasonably spicy. The wings were decently sized, cooked properly and delicious. My beer was cold and tasty as well, chosen from a list of three dozen or so taps. Burgers went past us to the outside patio area (a view of the parking lot) and they looked good. I'm sure we'll be back. [Review 1604 of 2025 - 2181 in Florida - 25152 overall]

With reservations for a birthday dinner we were a little early but seated right away in a busy dining room. I ordered a Shrimp Livornaise with housemade pasta. The dish was tasty and the shrimp were large but the pasta was minimal and just ok.

Also our bill included a 3% "COST OF DOING BUSINESS" charge when first presented, not knowing if we were paying by Cash or Credit card. Not the same experience as our first visit.

What on earth happened to this place? We were regulars for a long time, and have stuck with them…read morethrough all of their changes over the last year or two, but our last visit will be our last for a while. New bartenders/staff every week or two, nobody can stick around. Bartenders drinking on shift, trying to memorize orders instead of using the handheld POS system - what arrived at the table was not what we ordered. My husband's refire on his wrong meal took 20 minutes to arrive, and was cold, as well as fried to a black crisp; when he asked about it at the bar (because the bartenders weren't on the floor), he was told "I don't know what happened. I'm a bartender, not a food runner." I don't think we'll be back any time soon. I miss the great staff they used to have. This used to be a favourite neighbourhood hole in the wall.

Stopped in while on vacation and unfortunately it was just okay overall…read more I ordered the crab legs with broccoli and mashed potatoes. The crab legs were pretty dry, and some of the gills were still attached, which was honestly a little unappetizing. The broccoli tasted like it came straight from a frozen bag and wasn't really seasoned. The mashed potatoes were decent but nothing special. Honestly, I've had better crab legs at restaurants back home in Michigan, which was a little disappointing considering we're visiting a coastal area. The drinks were okay but a bit on the weak side. Service was slow, but I do want to give some grace there -- our waiter was also the bartender and seemed to be handling all the tables near the bar by himself. He was very friendly and clearly working hard, just probably stretched way too thin. Overall it wasn't a terrible experience, but the food didn't really live up to what we were hoping for while on vacation.

The food was still amazing and the place looks the same with minor changes since the storm. The disappointment here is the front end. They hired a very childish boy as a hostess. Flamey and rude. Very dramatic and rather than trying to help people ( such as locating a restroom) he spews a very long story about where it is instead of pointing to it two feet away. He was talking and laughing about a customer when I came out. I presume me I only needed to wash my hands. He's lucky I didn't tell him off but I didn't want to let him ruin our evening and have my husband hear. He's ( Anthony) a little punk though.
