What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners highlight the unique steamboat-themed atmosphere and generally praise the food, with the Pot Roast receiving specific acclaim. However, some reviews mention inconsistent service, including long waits for seating and drinks, and occasional disappointment with dish preparation. Despite some service critiques, many find the restaurant to be a good value with friendly staff.
"Great atmosphere, service, and food. The attention to detail is admirable. Really makes you feel like you’re out to sea. The burger medium rare was delicious and from the moment I picked it up it never touched the plate again. The fries were very appetizing and tasty. The staff were very friendly and their attire really sets the tone."

"Less than impressed. We had high hopes it had decent reviews and a good google score. We made reservations to make sure we could get in, and after arriving, we got to stand awkwardly in the doorway, waiting to be seated. I think I make eye contact with every waiter/waitress there, but not even so much as a "Hey, we will be with you in just a minute." After about 10 minutes or so, someone finally greeted us and showed us to our table. We ordered drinks when we sat down, which didn't arrive until after we finished our appetizer. I ordered fish and chips, which were definitely not battered in house or fried particularly well. My girlfriend had the pot roast which was edible but not great. I hate to leave a bad review, and I normally won't, but this place just really did nothing right in our opinion. Maybe it was an off night or whatever the excuse. We basically wasted $80 bucks on TV dinner food."

"It was just OK. We stayed at the hotel which I easily gave 5 stars. I made a brunch reservation. We were standing at the entrance and after employees looked at us a few times standing there my wife spoke up and we got seated. They didn't even acknowledge we we standing there. Only 5 tables were seated at the time. It took a little while to get drinks and to be able to place our order. At this time there were 4 tables seated. We only got our food 55 minutes after our reservation time. The foods were breakfast items and were nothing special. We will stay at the hotel again but will get breakfast somewhere else."
