Just OK - probably wouldn't return. I'm pretty shocked at how many ratings there are for how good the food is. It wasn't just a one off event that caused the rating to drop, the food just wasn't that good for the price that we paid for. Key points 1) Our bill was ~$85 with tip for a total of 2 beers, 1 appetizer and 2 entrees. We ordered the mushroom with Parmesan, side salad (which was massive), grilled pork with curry and the short ribs. Both the short rib and the grilled pork were on the tougher side. Mushroom was good but honestly sauteed mushrooms and cheese doesn't stand out too much. 2) The Grilled Pork came out undercooked (raw in the middle) which was sent back, yet completely tough on the outside, which leads me to believe it was frozen before hand. We sent it back and got a brand new grilled pork but it was still tough. There was no discount or comp provided on our bill 3) Short ribs were a little on the burnt side and not as tender as ribs should be. The BBQ sauce was too saucy and salty making it hard to finish. Summary: This is clearly a neighborhood place for folks going on vacation that just want to have a lively crowd, drinks on deck and something to fill them for dinner (free bread, plentiful sides etc..) without having to be the most tasty food. You can probably go to Outback Steakhouse and receive similar quality. Not worth the 30 minute wait, surprised that it was packed and probably wouldn't recommend for those looking for a tasty meal. Pros: The service was good, we were constantly checked up on, they were apologetic about the under cooked pork.

I've have too much to say! This place was awesome. Everything was good. The waitress we had was amazing. The thing that sealed the deal for us was the paradise pie with a side of homemade Caramel sauce! Totally legit!

Awesome food! On a first come first serve basis. People in line 30 minutes before it opened. Well worth it. Should have 5 stars but no view of water.
