Outside seating had an hour wait so we decided to eat at the bar and found seats almost right away. The service even at the bar was AMAZING! I am super impressed !! The food was really good. Such an incredible atmosphere. We got the Lobster Overdose , which included two rolls, lobster bisque soup and coleslaw. We ordered both the hot butter lobster roll and the cold mayo lobster roll, both were incredible! The lobster bisque was a little spicy and definitely had a kick to it. The crab cakes were so good! Would def recommend Hurricane Charley's
We had lunch yesterday at Hurricane Charley’s for the first time. It was great to sit outside so close to the water. The food and service were very good. Rachel our waitress was excellent. I have to say the metal high top chairs were the most uncomfortable thing I’ve encountered at a restaurant. They have very small, hard seats. I see nice padded wood high top chairs in previous posts.
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.
Perhaps this was a bad night for the business, but based on this night, I would not come back. The waitress that served my friends and I looked like she was a walking zombie. Totally out of it. We suspect she was on drugs by the way she looked. She paid zero attention to us, and it took an hour for our food to come out. The server didn’t bring the food to the table, someone else did. There were a couple big parties in the restaurant, which I guess were way more important than myself and my friends, because that is where the server decided to giver her all attention to. My friends got baskets, which tasted like they had been sitting under a heat lamp for far too long. I ordered sushi, which was pretty good. Our food had been sitting in the back because of the negligent server. The server came back in an attempt to give us the check, but a different server had thankfully already done so. Not a good experience.
Great atmosphere. Awesome sushi. Gouda Lobster Mac dinner looked like a side dish. Plenty of "at market price" LOBSTER in it. Not enough inexpensive PASTA (aka noodles) in it. Since you "review all guest communication and make adjustments accordingly. We don't ever want anyone thirsty" on your deck. Hopefully you don't want anyone left hungry either. (6'2" 190 Lbs. Not fat). A little inexpensive pasta (noodles) would go a long way. Your welcome for the four star review and the thousands we have spent here over the years. The Thanksgiving our entire family spent here a few years ago was very nice as well.
