    We came here on one of the busiest days of the year, checked in early, and went to the dock bar out back to wait for a table. The bar was busy but had enough seats for our large party. Service was friendly and quick. We enjoyed a round of drinks before our table was ready and we moved inside. We were sat at exactly our reservation time. Server was great, and attentive. Food and drinks were outstanding and the vibe of the restaurant was perfect. Definitely want to return in the future and will always recommend to friends.

    Everything was awesome. We had an issue with parking due to Christmas Day parking issues. We arrived on property an hour prior to our reservation and it took almost another hour to park. I was worried that the restaurant would not hold our reservation but was told not to worry. Once seated and our server, Chris, came to the table, the experience more than made up for the parking fiasco. Chris was very attentive and a joy to deal with.

    Food is great. We had a food allergy which made the dinner service very slow. Evidently they had a bunch of allergy orders at once and the chef has to meet with each table and bring out the food. It would be nice if there is no food with the allergen service could go back to normal. Arrived at 6 and didn’t leave until after 8:30. Food was great though and we would go back!
