      <![CDATA[THIS PLACE IS TERRIBLE-- THE WORST DINING EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD--IF YOU WANT A GREAT DINING EXPERIENCE ON THE WATER GO TO "THE ISLAND CAFE". We (table of three) waited an hour to get a table--totally understandable on a Friday night....but after 45 minutes of waiting for our appetizers that hadn't arrived yet, we finally spoke to an owner / manager--whom is also the hostess...she is the most unorganized hostess I have ever ran across and I was appalled to learn she is also a co-owner.  She had zero sympathy and told us that if we didn't like it we could go elsewhere...really???  How's that for customer service...and so we left and we'll NEVER go back.  The customer service was horrifying.  Their ambience does not even hold a candle to the Island Cafe.  <br>
My recommendation--if you two grey-hairs want to be successful, hire a hostess that knows what they are doing and a few more cooks.  <br>

      <![CDATA[I came in and took a stool on the side as the place was pretty busy. I had been looking forward to trying the place as I had seen the signs for it and I like hanging out on the water.<br>
 <br>
There was no view of the river. It's blocked.<br>
 <br>
I just sat there observing the servers and people to take it all in and see what was happening.<br>
 <br>
I think that the owner was a woman who was taking orders and serving. She was forgetful/spacey and didn't get me the menu I asked for. I finally got to order an appetizer from a very friendly waitress.<br>
 <br>
While I was waiting for the appetizer, I had a pretty good Cadillac Margarita followed by 2 beers. Toward the end of the second beer I had to go up and approach the owner. She was criticizing the very friendly waitress, and continued as I stood there waiting to talk to her. She finally decided I wasn't going away and turned to me. I told her that I had had 3 drinks and had been waiting for over 1 hour without receiving my appetizer. I told her to cancel the app and bring me my bill as I was going to be leaving.<br>
 <br>
After I had signed my bill, finished my beer, and got up to leave, she came over with the app and offered it to me. I declined.<br>
 <br>
I won't be going back.

      <![CDATA[Happy hour from 2-5 on Sunday, had one beer, was asked if we wanted another at 4:15.  Waitress then came back 10 minutes later only to tell us that happy hour was over with because it&#39;s 5 o&#39;clock.   Oh, silly me.  It&#39;s 4:15, what was I thinking.  I&#39;ve heard of &quot;bar time&quot;.  usually only 10-15 early than the time really is.  But 45 minutes?  come on!
