The food was good but the obnoxious drunks on the deck made this one of the most unpleasant dining experiences we have ever had. The waitress tried many times to get the guys to tone it down but she was never backed up by mgt or anyone else. Definitely NOT a place for families!!!!!

Pros: Food was decent, service was good

Cons: uncontrolled drinking atmosphere unsuitable for children and families
