I disagree with this review. I had the opposite experience. The food could have been better - but it was not the food. We ordered sandwiches and they were fabulous. However the service was poor. And for a place with 3 bars in one location the beer selection was pretty sorry. 3 beers on tap? Are you kidding me? With a bar that size you can get a fantastic selection of at least 20 beers on tap if you wanted. FIRST. This place is gorgeous. A diamond in the rough. I was amazed. It was beautiful! Even more amazing NOBODY was there. What's going on? This is the PERFECT restaurant. Why ISNT it packed? Well let me tell you something; as someone with business sense it's clear to me the owners are asleep at the wheel and lack the management skills needed to turn this places into what it COULD BE. Instead they just let it sit. SECOND. The main draw is the river and the docks. Being able to sit outside, listen to a reggae band, be waited on and watch the sunset. However the lazy staff REFUSED to seat us out there claiming that "we have to walk all the way out there (30 seconds of walking) and it's just not worth it for us". Are you kidding me? You ARE an employee are you not? I mean from the customers perspective you have just nullified the main attraction. Instead they said "we can give you the meal yourself to go and you can sit out there if you want but nobody will wait on you sorry!". We all wanted to sit out there so bad we ate take out! I even offered the waitress (who was very nice except for her apparent laziness) extra money and said quote "I will give you $20.00 tip extra in addition to 15% to seat us out there". To my astonishment she refused. Waitress in this location make what? $5.00 an hour + tips? There were 6 of us. The bill came out to $130.00. At 15% that’s $19.50 + $20.00 + $39.50. Almost $40.00 for the waitress just for 30 seconds of walking. Talk about lazy! Give me control of this place and I will turn it into a profit center where people will drive 30-40 minutes out of the way to visit. Are you kidding me? You have the PERFECT location! Clearly the ownership and management are sitting on a golden goose and don't have a clue on what to do. Get it together owners. It’s clear to me you are FLAT OUT LAZY.

We recently (July 2008) ate at the Old Florida Grill & Oyster house and had great service and also good food. Guess it just depends on who happens to be serving and cooking that evening!
