Good place to take the grandparents. I'm always surprised to see them advertising, "voted favorite seafood in Orlando". The early bird specials seem to draw the stereo-typed senior citizen diners. The decor and furniture is reminiscent of Perkins for Denny's, which is fine if you're expecting that; but "Fine" is not an accurate adjective to describe the setting. The food seems to be quality, albeit over-cooked in my opinion. Add to that the fact that your one or two side dishes come in the little white monkey-dishes, and you might as well go to a cafeteria, where you would at least have a larger variety of vegetables from which to choose. Service is consistently prompt. But if you like your server to have a personality, and spend any time helping you choose your meal, this is not the restaurant for you. On a scale of 1 to 5, I'd put it squarely at a 3. Go to Shell's instead. [11 May 2003 20:09:49]

Completely DISAPPOINTED! Be warned! Like the other review, I also am very disappointed and would rather go somewhere else. Service was absolutely poor! We ordered then waited ONE hour and a half for our COLD dinners (there were 6 of us!). When we mentioned and indicated how unhappy we were to the waiter, he didn't seem to care. The team mimics the leader so with that we are not surprised that the manager didn't even bend over backwards to make things better.
The ambiance was not very rich but the prices for the ridiculous small portioned meal thought they were a high end restaurant. Not even close! Maison Jardin was better, Melting Pot, Doc's, and yes! even Shells has better service, food, and ambiance. [17 Apr 2007 22:38:32]
