   Just wanted to reach out and share my Valentines dinner experience , I had an 8:45 reservation . That was all well and good . Then it went down hill , our waitress didn’t want to be at work , it was obvious . Service was slow and yes I’m aware it’s a big night out but no need for it to be turtle slow . My husband ordered the sword fish , It was served with brocollini which isn’t described in the menu . My husband is allergic . We returned it to the kitchen , a new one was made but it took over 25 min. I would think that this type of issue should be priority one and the replacement meal should not take 25 min . My lobster roll was more like like lobster confetti. , for 39 dollars all I can say is wow and not a good wow . Then she brings me the bill and that was incorrect as well she added 2 other entrees to it . Then we waited 22 min for a To-go pie I wanted to reach out and share this with you here versus on yelp or another review platform but no one answered so now you are on open table . I think we can all learn from this and make better choices. I'd choose a different place all together.

   Laughably bad service, we didn’t even have silverware with our appetizers, it was brought out after two requests and 40 minutes into the meal. Saw the waiter hardly at all.

   This is a lovely restaurant, right across the street from the ocean. Service is very attentive and the drinks are good. Food is delicious, but a bit pricey. The Paella for two cost us $61.00.

   Great Valentine dinner! Very Good food, service, and ambiance. Would definitely go again. I had the Blackened Swordfish with rice and bok choy with delicious rice and sauce. My husband had Mahi Tacos with cilantro lime rice. Rose wine and Mango Margherita were really good! A winner of a dinner!

   This was the worst dining experience! I made the mistake of booking this location by accident, I thought I booked the pier. We were celebrating a very special birthday. The food was inedible, I have 3 college age guys who eat any and everything and they did not eat their meals. We all left and drove through McDonalds which was by far better. I had a reservation and they squished us in at the table outside behind the bar doors. The hostess did not give a crap, that on my open table reservation we stated special celebration . Our waitress was a total ditz, checked on us once. We were waiting for drink refills that never happened. She did not deserve the 18% included gratuity. I truly wanted to get up and leave. Absolutely the worst restaurant we have ever eaten at and that says a lot coming from full time Florida Residents 30 plus year’s.

   Staff was great in accommodating our request for an outside table even though we were delayed by traffic. Menu was not available online (web site was down) so that was disappointing. The wine selection was good; however, I was not happy that our server slid in an upsell of a white wine as if there was not a 40% price differential in her suggestion/response to an order (without an explanation of any variation in quality). Food was excellent. The paella was plentiful (served at least 3) and smoky - quite good. The fish tacos were excellent. The calamari tentacles were very crispy and it all was delicious.

   Only worse than the food was the service. Took a half hour to get a bottle of wine, good was cold and stale. Also came out at different times. Prosecco was warm and flat. Automatic gratuity included as well as credit card fees. Suspect that this is due to no one tipping for terrible service. Place was slow but had to hunt down the waiter for the check. Do not recommend.
