Atmosphere 👍 Service 👍 Food 👍 Show 👍 Timing 👎 (1h of 3 was just staying near by the pier, maybe because of the weather conditions, maybe because it is what it is) Overall 👍”

“The service was poor. My dinner plate was missing a side of rice and when I asked for it the server just said okay wait, then never came back. They didn't come by to offer drinks.
