When we arrived we were pleased to see that there was an open deck where we could sit out side and the establishment was not over crowded. To not much of our surprise the deck was full of people chain smoking and drunk people begin very loud and spilling their drinks. When we ruled out the deck we decided to sit inside.The menu had no organization or theme. The food was all over the place from seared albacore tuna to lamb burger to chips and dip. The menu looked like it had no consistent thought to its design and no creativity just the same old same old. Nothing about this restaurant/bar differenced itself from the other establishments in that waterfront area. After about 20 minuets our waitress came back and asked what was my drink and my partners drink order. We then proceed to order our food. I order the seared Tuna and my partner order the high anticipated linguini with clams and my friend order the special the salmon. few minutes later our waitress brought out our drinks to our table. My drink order was incorrect and when I asked the waitress to send my drink back she lied and told me that was the correct drink. I didn’t want to be a bother About 15 minuets later the waitress come back and tell my friend that they are out of the salmon special so, not all of our meals are not on a timely manner. After about 10 minuets our food had still has not arrived I decided to notify the owner, I told him that our waitress has not check on our table in awhile my drink was empty and another friend who join us later that night wanted to order and my partners drink was empty. He then caught this unnecessary attitude really made me loose my appetite. When our food finally arrived my tuna was ice cold full no flavor, my partners linguini noodles were over cooked and my other two friends were waiting on their meals, we could not have eaten together. Our entire bill was over 250+ dollars more on drinks
