Atmosphere 4 out of 5, service 2 out of 5, food depends what you get. For a seafood restaurant, I expected the snapper to be outstanding, not bland with boring plating. I could cook it better myself for less than half the price. The fish and chips were the star of the dinner that night. I sent the snapper back and split the fish & chips with my daughter-in-law. My son liked his steak o.k. For a seafood restaurant, you can't complain about the steak, I guess. They loved their oysters, and I loved the peel and eat shrimp. Guess I'm getting jaded by all the average restaurants out there getting such great reviews. I suppose if you just hate to cook and have money to burn, dining out at these places is fine. For me, I get more value and better food at pubs and ethnic restaurants. Plus, I don't have to deal with snobby servers.
