Reviews based on Food
We had a holiday party on this boat. It's old and raggedy. The decor reminded me of Marie Calendars. The food served was buffet style, and I was not impressed. Roasted chicken in a sauce, possibly roast beef, salad, garlic mashed potatoes, broccolini, carrots, and dinner rolls. I had looked at the menu beforehand and was hopeful that we'd have good food, but it was a dud 👎🏾. The person we had as a bartender should have taken the night off because his attitude was as if he didn't want to be bothered.
Used to come here every anniversary and loved it. This visit however was a total disappointment. Waiter and bar manager were Nice but the food was lousy. The appetizer, the Caesar salad, the fish was overcooked. The front desk guy was not helpful at all . That's the last time. We love sitting on the water watching the boats but the rest of the experience was rotten.
