Food: Mediocre seafood fails

Their best dishes - the Steamed Crab, Spicy Fish Soup, and Cajun-Style Shrimp - are not enough to salvage the overall dining experience. Comments of tasteless or disappointing food recur. Even large portions seem wasteful when the flavour is missing. Surprisingly, these seafood delicacies are slapped with an overpriced tag, causing frustration amongst diners.

  • Great Variety

    Diverse menu, with a wide range of selections and something for everyone.

  • Okay Quality

    Variability in seafood freshness; sometimes seasonal, overall consistent quality.

  • Bad Value

    Overpriced items and expensive experiences disappointed despite food quality.

Vibe: Former hotspot fades

Although spectacular ocean views garnish your meal, the vibe is quickly worn down by the understated, simple and bright decor. What echoes louder is the slow service, dirty surroundings, and cafeteria-style seating. The once buzzing locale has dwindled into listlessness, with hasty beverage service and an ambience widely discouraged for date nights.

  • Great Views

    Spectacular ocean views enhance dining experience; frequently praised by customers.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Understated, simple, bright, slow service, dirty, and cafeteria-style seating.

Perks: Service damages dining

Despite spacious, open areas, their service is unfortunately the spoiler. Parking quandaries, difficulty in finding seating and a largely rude, slow service mar the experience further. While it's large enough for groups, the diner feels the brunt of packed timings, contributing to disgruntlement.

  • Easy To Hear

    Spacious, not overpacked, great for drinking and loud conversations.

  • Okay For Groups

    Large, spacious venue, though service may slow when crowded, good for groups.

  • Hard To Park

    Parking can be crowded; timing is key to finding a spot.
