    Service was terrible. Wait staff did not disclose daily specials, did not refill drinks, table setting didn't fit plates and forks kept falling to the floor, stir fried rice was spicy without disclosure and couldn't taste the true flavor of the meal and veggies and protein was sparce. We saw the specials written on a blackboard after finished our meals and was leaving

    Great experience! Loved the view of the water. Food and service was excellent. My husband had the small plate (which was a big plate) of frog legs and said that they were the best he’s had. The short ribs were wonderful.

    I think the food is over priced $10 for a twice baked potato is a little excessive . Then we had to wait a while to get our drink order in . The service was decent but took some time . Food was alright .

    Food was over priced. Way overpriced . Did not have what we ordered. Had to change our order but they brought us our original sides that we ordered along with our replacement meal and sides. 140.00 for 2 people. Ridiculous
