Food was a combination of extremely bland or overcooked. $110 for 1 appetizer, 3 chicken finger baskets and 1 seafood dinner, including tip (didn't want to punish the waitress for the bad food). LESSON LEARNED! WON'T BE BACK! The waitress was friendly but seemed a little defensive when we told her that the for was unsatisfactory. If you're looking for good food, go somewhere else! You will be so disappointed with this place. I wish I had read the reviews first! I would have saved myself a lot if time and aggravation. Now I'm just trying to warn others before they have a bad experience.
