Mediocre really.We had a lunch here. Upon arrival I approached a waiter and asked for a table in the outside seating area alongside the dock. I was told to wait a moment as he was busy at the register. Sure no problem at all, I didn't mean to interrupt him. However, 5 seconds later another patron approached him while i was patiently waiting. This customer started to have a conversation with the waiter and the waiter was more than happy to converse with him. Anyway I continued waiting. Once we received our table we saw it was dirty. Smudges of old ice cream or a sauce of some kind. Not a great initial welcoming feeling, and also not a table I felt I wanted to touch with my forearms/hands if I was to have a relaxing conversation with my girlfriend sitting across from me.

Ordered a pizza, spaghetti bolognese, beer, ice tea and water.

Straight to the point. The water didn't arrive, had to ask again for it. The beer glass was dirty inside and outside. The iced tea was finished for the day, but no body advised us of it, sooo it didn't arrive either. It took roughly 15 minutes to receive any drinks. Before we even knew about the actual issues of ice tea etc. That was the drinks.

The food: somehow there was confusion between waiters and kitchen. We waited 1 hour and a bit before following up on our food order. The waiter returned saying that there was a mess up and they hadn't processed the order. We weren't in a rush nor were we starving so we said we would wait longer. Finally it arrived...pizza was acceptable, quite tasty actually. The spaghetti bolognese was also not bad, but too garlicky. I am a huge fan of galic so this is saying a lot. Much too much garlic for the average person (I'm assuming). I actually had smelled galic from someone else's plate a few tables away and made a comment to my girlfriend that it was intensely pungent. I dont claim to be a food critic, but do know a balanced dish when I taste one.

I'd say on this occasion there was a huge amount of miscommunication between the staff. Whether it is a common occurence, I don't know. I also won't be going back to find out.

Honestly I believe that a 3 star rating is generous, considering there were issues with both drinks and food orders, also cleanliness issues, and a lack of attention from the staff, not much actually went well. The setting is nice and the food was for the most part acceptable so I think 2 stars would be harsh. I'd give 2.5 stars (50% satisfaction if I could). The prices were okay for the area, and the portions were acceptable.
