| - Came here for my birthday last night, made an reservation for 8, got there a little early, server greeted me promptly and asked if it was my birthday, then told me to save room for my free birthday dessert. Our table was a huge booth, which was great, but I don't think they really thought the whole concept through, 8 adults sitting in a booth.. going in and out for the restroom was tough, along with food being passed, especially with plates being scalding hot, and patrons have to pass them down..not the best idea!
We started off with appetizers, calamari, lobster mac and cheese, lobster bisque and crab cakes. Calamari was good, texture was like mozzarella sticks, so not incredibly chewy, lobster mac and cheese had a decent amount of lobster in there,but a huge portion, a bit bland for my taste though and the crab cakes were okay as well. Then the lobster bisque that everyone raved about, had decent amount of lobster, but was slightly cold, not a fan of coldish soup.
Main dish, spouse got the High Tide burger and I got "the King", his burger wasn't medium rare like he asked and also was missing some stuff in it, but the food took so long and our server was incredibly busy he ate under half and left it there, our server told her manager, they never stopped by to apologize or anything and I guess took a few bucks off our bill. My entrée the king was pretty good, except for the fact that it came out barely warm.. great portion of seafood in it though, took a few bites and just brought it home. After I was finished our server asked if I was ready for my birthday dessert, I chose the bread pudding, it was okay, I've had better.
Our server looked like she was the only one working or something because she was running around and barely had time to check up on us or prebus our table, so it was a hot mess.
We asked for our checks and gave her our "passport dining" card [which is also how I found out about the place], we should have gotten one entrée free or 20% off the entire bill [I think there's a mess up on their site], but on our bill, said we only got around $9 taken off, and it looked like my birthday dessert I paid for and only $3 dollars got taken off for my spouse's burger. So, not too sure if we read our bill wrong of what got discounted but either way, being a server myself we cut her some slack and tipped her $10 on top of the $15 gratuity they added on already.
All in all, wasn't the best place, but also not the worst I've had my birthday at.
Might come back just for happy hour, one day.
