    We had the most fabulous bartender who answered and explained every question. She did not steer us wrong. The food was exceptional! Will go again when in the area.

    Always a fun place to take out of town guests. Do not understand how the restaurant sets reservations though. Checked for reservations for several dates for weeks in advance. Said everything was booked then 1 open slot shows up for a Tuesday at 5:30 so I snag it. At 3 pm that day, there were literally dozens of open spots all night long. When we arrived at 530, only 2 tables were seated. Other tables started arriving at 630 but the restaurant never filled up. So does the establishment limit table until last minute or do they have a 80% cancelation rate the day of? Why cant I find any tables for the next 2 weeks? Do I have to look each day for that evening? Doesnt seem like the establishment uses Open Table to its maximum benefit.

    We came last week on a Friday night, showed up at 5pm sharp without reservations and were seated at the far end of the bar. Our bartenders were Dizt and Tamara and they were FABULOUS! They played to the room and made the experience delightful! This week, we came back with reservations and were seated right by the door, again at the bar, which is what I selected. The bartenders, Arianne and ? were okay but clearly more into the football scores than the rainstorm and the pirate attack. Unfortunately for them, Dizt and Tamara had set my expectations pretty high. If we were seated at tables, the bartenders wouldn't have influenced our experience so much. The decor is fun, the drinks are great and the food is good. Check it out!

    The atmosphere is so fun and the decor is very cool. The chicken kbobs and veggie flatbread were delicious. The drinks are unique but expensive and more ice than drink. The menu's need a refresh. Richie, the bartender was very friendly.
