Gave it four stars for menu. A few more items to choose from would have made it 5 stars. Good that we ate was nicely presented and tasty. We were a party of four and each of us had something different. We all enjoyed our meal. Glad I had a reservation.

Even when there are four men working behind the bar (and it seems to be the men who are the main culprits), they often ignore customers waiting at the bar, even when there’s no one else waiting to be served. The last time I was served, they were rather unfriendly and placed my drink out of reach, requiring me to stretch over the bar to grab it. To make matters worse, there was visible arguing among the bar staff, and they were loud enough for all the customers to hear. While I understand that everyone has been through a lot in the past couple of years, I truly hope the staff finds peace in their lives and a sense of appreciation for their jobs. I wouldn’t wish anyone to feel unhappy every day. If their dissatisfaction stems from poor management or low wages, I hope someone addresses those issues. As for the overcharging, this bar has a Happy Hour from 5 to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, but I've never received the Happy Hour prices until I questioned my bill. Each time, they acted as if they had forgotten it was Happy Hour. This has happened to me on three separate occasions. Just this past Friday (08/12/22), I spoke with another customer who also faced the same issue when she questioned her bill, and they grudgingly admitted they had done the same to her. It certainly seems intentional. Additionally, they tend to keep any change without asking. For example, my bill was $7.50 (it should have been $5 during Happy Hour), but they only returned $12 from a $20 bill. I usually leave any change as a tip, but it’s a bit presumptuous for them to assume that. On a positive note, they’ve finally added some shade to the roof, which is a significant improvement. It had previously been nearly impossible to use this bar on a hot or even mildly sunny day, which is most of the year.

However, I recommend exercising caution if you visit on a Sunday, as they hosted a DJ party sponsored by Absolut during my visit. They placed an extra charge on my card, and I had trouble getting in touch with them to resolve the issue. If you can, it's best to pay with cash.

The view of the water is absolutely incredible! Our service at the table was outstanding, and they even provided a water bowl for our little dog. When we moved from the table to the bar, we were served by a fun, friendly bartender named Guy who was very engaging. The drinks were fantastic, and the atmosphere and staff were excellent!

Would we return with our other visiting relatives? No. I cannot recommend this place.
