| - A large group of us decided to go out here tonight. As another reviewer stated, the garlic fries smelled amazing (Although I didn't have any) walking through the restaurant. We debated on sitting inside or outside and chose outside since the weather was nice. When we got out there they had the misters running which normally would be a good idea I'm sure since it's the middle of the desert, but it was totally unnecessary tonight. Of the 8 adult males at our table all 8 were nearly shivering, shirts, table, menus, appetizers, etc were all wet too. We asked the waitress to see if they could turn it down or off, didn't hear anything back, asked again about 20 minutes later and the response was that she could go ask the manager if we wanted her to but that would mean that she was going to sweat her ass off for 8 hours (Direct quote)...which tells me that she completely blew us off the first time. So I did notice that our table was up on an elevated part of the patio which places us closer to the misters. Pretty bad design, it may be worth looking into nozzles with a different flow rate or just capping off every other one on that level of the patio.
Additionally, the restaurant was just not that busy and our food still came out piecemeal, with one in our party waiting an extra 10 minutes for his food, and everything was just slow.
Experience aside, I ordered the seafood stew and it was great. All sorts of seafood but not an overwhelming fishy flavor. There was enough but it was balanced and the real unique thing was the fennel. I've never had fennel in a seafood soup before and it was perfect, I think it offset the fishiness enough to keep it from being one dimensional.
