Review of Copper Kettle

Don't let the website fool you. Excellent website....

Don't let the website fool you. Excellent website. Doesn't match the experience at all. Wow. Where to begin? Well, it took 20 minutes just for a server to notice us. And no, they were not busy with only 4 tables in the whole place and two servers on the floor. Not to mention the manager who sat us said he'd be back with bread...never came back. That same manager was also dumping the leftover drinks from dirty tables into the lake. Finally an overworked waitress came by and took the whole order. Sky was very nice but needed help. The food was then brought out and sat on a dirty table next to us before being plopped down in front of us. The food was absolutely not worth the wait. The "lump crab cakes" were actually claw and backfin with a lot of filling and a poor atempt at a remoulade didn't make them any less dry. The chef's vegetables were a salty joke if anything. Clearly, they don't do the green beans to order. I was so hungry I ate the overdone mahi though. But the rice pilaf was probably rice-a-roni with carrots. My son's food, the catfish, was flavorless and then my daughter's burger was charred burnt when asked for medium. All in all...you're paying for an overpriced view which was beautiful, but not worth the drive...even if your close by. We won't be back.
