We tried to make reservations but were told you can't for a party of 4. By the time we actually went, we were a party of 6. Trying to be objective as possible, here are the facts:

1. We were told without a reservation, they could not seat us in the dining room
2. Very nicely (not apologetically because we failed to make a reservation) told us we could sit outside or at the bar and get the same service.
3. We chose outside. (Which had a view of the diningroom- which had multiple tables empty at all times)
4. We were there for 3 hours (12:00-3:00) 5.After sitting for awhile our waiter came for our drink order-given only 1 drink list for a table of 6 we were still figuring it out. 6.We requested bread which arrived a bit later at which time we requested plates and utensils... after not receiving them we just did the best we could... picnic style.
5. Orders were given another round of drinks ordered and a long while later lunch arrived. 8 We were celebrating and wanted to take a picture of the 6 of us. There was an empty deck area adjacent to the eating area, so as not to disturb the other guest we went there. Half of us were standing waing for the other half of the party to come when the hostess (I think) came running out stating we could not be there it was a private area they were setting up for a private event. We apologized and said we were just going to take a quick photo, She said okay
6. This may seem like trivial things and over sensitive patrons....maybe, but all together it made us feel unwelcome, unrespected and even neglected enough so that 2 of our party felt the manager should be told of our treatment.
7. Two of us left, two told the hostess they would like to speak to the manager, and two stayed back not to ”get involved” but to be present. And not to escalate the situation by making the manager feel like they are being "ganged up on."
8. Chloe "One of the managers" came out and immediately was on the attack. Saying we made the wrong decision by not making reservations. Raising her voice and sending the hostess away and saying "I will not have you yelling at a seventeen year old", even though they just requested to speak to a manager knowing it wasn't the hostess's fault and no one in our party ever raised their voices but the ”conversation” deteriorated after that. 12 We were not looking for anything-just to be heard. We felt unwelcome, unrespected and even neglected and after meeting Chloe I can see why that was the vibe of the restaurant that day. That is exactly how we were treated.

When you pay $100 per person for lunch there is a certain level of service you expect. Captain Bills did not deliver. There are many good restaurants on the water in Bayshore. I suggest you try one of them ..I wish we did.
