The food was really good today, although they were out of my first choice, pasta. The waiter was attentive, but it did take a while for the bar to make our drinks. That wasn't the waiter's fault. We were happy to hear them playing more Jimmy Buffett music today - last time they didn't play it once while we were there. Overall, a great visit.
