I'm from the tropics, so I don't really bother with seafood unless I see the water. Maybe it's people like me who are used to very fresh seafood that give this place poor ratings. I on the other hand, stuck to "seafood-infused" items like pasta and fish and chips. It's a great place to bring your kids and tourist friends to drink and get messy and have fun. The menu could be improved, but we were still happy with our orders, especially with my tea vodka infused Sunshine Tea. YUM. Must replicate this on my birthday. Service is EXCELLENT. If you're real nice, they'll give you the drink jars to take home.
