Review of St. Johns Seafood and Steak

I don't understand the poor reviews for this resta...

I don't understand the poor reviews for this restaurant. My husband and I were there last Sunday and again today (Friday). Both days we started with the crab, spinach and artichoke dip which came with homemade chips and was awesome. On Sunday my husband had the ahi tuna which he said was perfect and I had the blackened chicken sandwich. Both came with homemade fries. There was live music on Sunday so we moved to the outside tables and stayed a couple of extra hours. On Friday my husband had the fish and chips and I had the blackened mahi tacos. Again, both were awesome. On our way out we stopped and complimented the manager on our waitress and the food. He gave us gumbo and bacon potato chowder to go. My husband had the bacon potato chowder as an appetizer and raved about it. The head chef also stopped by to see how we liked our food. Anyone in Sanford needs to check out this restaurant!! I would not call this restaurant great - I would call it amazing and fantastic - far from average.
