The place is usually loud and packed so if you're looking for a summer idyll by the shore this may not be your speed.

Dear Yelp, While…read morestaying at the hotel, we Decided to pop in for a drink. Every time we looked in the place was packed. After dinner, we were able to find a spot on the side of the room.

Taco Tuesday they had taco and margarita specials which we loved. For happy hour, they have a delicious orange crush. We got the nachos and split a grilled chicken sandwich. Everything was good, but sitting outside at an outdoor bar made it even better. The bartender (I think Paul) was attentive and helpful and even let us know that the nachos were on the larger side so we might be better off splitting one entree instead of two. Some afternoons they even have live music. Cheers!

The service was good and the food was good BUT my husband ordered the fish and chips and he was asked if he wanted tartar or cocktail sauce. He got the cocktail.

Thats how light they are on their alcohol. Also and probably the main reason we wont be back, this is not a speakeasy.

I had seen the ads constantly which already gave me a bad feeling, as a good place really shouldnt have to advertise as much, and I was right. Wouldnt return.

I would definitely eat here again if given the opportunity

This time, I ordered the egg white omelette and it came saturated in oil or butter or simply whatever may have oozed from the cheese, so it sat untouched. It was virtually floating on the plate. When I placed the breakfast order, I asked for it to be cooked without added salt. Ciara read our order back to us, adding an eye roll of sorts at the 'no-salt' part, and the food was delivered as if the kitchen staff felt the same. The side potatos were smothered in salt. Just strange really. At least the kids got frisbees on the way out when I asked, whether or not their dad actually got an edible breakfast on Father's Day.

Nothing tasted bad, but nothing stood out either. The biggest surprise was the water, which had an unpleasant taste. The biggest disappointment was with a reservation issue. After my brunch, my reservation wasn't marked as attended or released in the system, which prevented me from making another reservation elsewhere for dinner. When I asked for help, Alfonso was dismissive and came across as unnecessarily rude instead of helping resolve what should have been a simple issue. It ended up affecting the rest of my evening. Service was friendly, and the restaurant itself has a great vibe, but overall I expected more based on the reviews. I personally would try somewhere else for breakfast next time.
