The prices are reasonable as well. However, there are a couple of downsides that impact the overall experience. You need to order at a counter, which can lead to long wait times of 10-15 minutes during peak hours, and you'll also have to stand in line for drink refills. There is an additional bar option, but I prefer the convenience of ordering at my table. The seating is outdoors with fans, which is understandable given the riverside setting, but on really hot days, a cooler indoor area would be nice. I plan to return, but I'll likely choose days with better weather. The indoor space is covered but can still feel warm. Overall, it's a pleasant spot to enjoy a meal on moderate days.

Unfortunately, during our last two visits, it has been uncomfortably hot. There’s a large fan that is positioned completely away from the dining area, directed instead at the customers who are only standing in line for a few minutes. Meanwhile, we were left sitting in the heat for three hours. I asked four different employees if we could turn the fan around to help the 30 diners listening to the music, but was told by one staff member that they couldn’t because it had never been done before. This lack of solution was frustrating, especially since my $30 meal was too hot to enjoy. For the sake of my family's comfort, we won’t be returning until the weather cools down, which unfortunately may mean we can’t come back for seven months. A simple adjustment could have made all the difference.

We loved the live music and sitting where we could watch the boats come in! The food was good, but I didn't love the sauce on the shrimp app. I'll trysomething different next time. My husband like the burger. Super casual atmosphere on the water!

To be running a business like a restaurant be willing to take positive and negative feedback from customers as part of your business. Sounded to me like they had legitimate complaints and you just basically said don't come back..But you don't want your business to drop off where you have to close have some respect for your customers and yourself... sooner or later you won't be famous all over town. I think you should apologize to everyone of them..Jesus says love your neighbors how you want to be loved. Steven?

This leads me to believe that someone might be getting a bit greedy, so consider this a heads-up.
