UPDATE: I once gave this place 5-stars. We used to love to bring friends and family here for the food and the view. Something has changed over the last year or two. Poor service. Took an hour plus to get our food this time.. Some of our food came out cold. I enjoyed it when the live music stopped for 20 mins. So many great restaurants nearby. I would avoid at this point.
Wow! We stopped today in a road trip to Orlando and we were a little uneasy when we saw the adjacent hotel. Ultimately, we were happily surprised! Sitting outside is a must-do but maybe bring an extra layer because the breeze is strong. My husband got the fish tacos - every choice of taco tortilla and fish and cooking methods so they were perfectly customized to him. And he raved about the red beans and rice as the best as he’s ever had. I struggle to find healthy choices on the road but Mel’s bowls on the sushi menu were a godsend. So many choices! All delicious!
We were thirsty. Really thirsty. Great views. That and the cold ( kept in an ice filled cooler ) beer made the trip. We sat at the bar but behind the beer taps so service was not the best as we were out of sight. Ordered cheeseburgers which were standard bar fare, nothing to write home about. But the prices were reasonable and the view / atmosphere made up for all short comings. I would definitely go again and bring my buyer with me. I hate to drink alone or on my own money.
Been going there for the last five years. Food has always been excellent for the type of place it is. Better than expected. That’s the good of it. For the last 2 years not to good and that’s being nice. Food still very good but the service staff stinks as does the groups that play there except one that is excellent, Back Street. What use to be a full glass is now half of what I drink. BT’s don’t even come by to see if anything is needed. If you order two items they do not come at once and more often than not you have to remind them. I could go on but not really worth it.
Wait staff was very nice but clearly overwhelmed. Our service was good. The food was mediocre at best. Surprised that this place is so we'll reviewed. Food wasn't bad, but it was quite average. Menus were pretty dirty. Musical entertainment (at 3pm on a Saturday) was a bit loud and not very good. Won't likely return.
