We arrived early and were able to get an early seating, great job to the hostess. The bus person got out water to us but we had to wait for the server. Once on duty, he was great and attentive. The meal was a bit disappointing. The fish could have been cooked a little longer and seasoned a little better. It was fresh just lacked flavor. The steak was almost over cooked. In terms of our experience in other restaurants, the meal was a bit lackluster, in comparison to our usual experiences.
