| - We came here on 2 different nights for dinner. The first time was a Monday night and ordered the fried seafood dinners. I ordered the Neptune's platter and my boyfriend ordered the fried shrimp dinner. One person at our table ordered the calamari appetizer, it was good. Didn't think i had tried enough to write a review so I will say that the food and the service was pretty good on this night. We had a very attentive waitress.
We decided to come back on a Friday night around 9:00 PM for dinner on the patio (patio was cute). There were more patrons but I wouldn't say it was slammed.
The blackened catfish was great but these are the things that went wrong on our second visit:
- Once we were sat, We waited for 15 minutes before anyone helped us (party of 3). Our waitress who had about 3 of the tables outside, from what we observed, took another 15 minutes to bring back our drinks. She told us the $1 special was Bud light lime. One person ordered Bud light lime but was served Coors light instead and was told the $1 special changed since the order was placed. Another person in our party ordered the red sangria. I had a sip and it tasted like throw up (literally). I was going to order the watermelon margarita, which was another drink special, but after waiting 15 mins before the waitress came to help us I overheard the next table that ordered it said it was gross and they sent it back.
- After 10 more minutes she came to take our order without telling us about any of the specials. After asking her to tell us the specials, I ordered the ribs special. She came back to tell me that the kitchen was out of ribs but they didn't bother to inform her. I got the catfish instead, which I would say was delicious.
- The calamari that we ordered for appetizer was soggy and didn't taste nearly as good as when we had it on our first visit.
- One of us ordered a cup of gumbo as an appetizer, which the waitress didn't bring out until we reminded her after our entrees came out. The gumbo had really good seasoning but it had nothing in there besides dried bits of chicken. I would have expected some okra and sausage at least.
- We had some issues with our bill. The waitress didn't charge us enough and I didn't want her to have to come out of pocket so we waited another 10 - 15 minutes for her to come by. We made eye contacts several times but she didn't bother to stop. Therefore we left.
- It irritated me that the waitress only had a few tables that night but she obviously couldn't multitask. She would walk back to the kitchen or bar after only helping one table at a time.
I will say that the food is good but the experience was terrible. After a second visit this restaurant seems very unorganized from the management down to the servers. We noticed, what appeared to be, the two owners in the restaurant but one seemed to be worried about their Cinqo de Mayo party scheduled for the next day, and the other was preoccupied with what I would describe as sexually harassing one of the waitresses.(Which made the both of the women at our table
VERY uncomfortable!!) With so many restaurant options in the area we will probably not return.
