   I was really excited to go here based on reviews. Parking and directions to get there was complicated but we asked around and were able to get in. We were given a nice table. The server took time to explain to is the menu. Unfortunately my husband wanted the monfongo and we were told it hadn’t been on menu for a while. We ordered their signature dish. Mahi Mahi and it came out dry. It was overcooked but we ate it anyway bc we didn’t want to wait. We did tell server. They didn’t offer anything for our bad meal. We will not go back.

   Great meal , ceviche superb, mahi fresh and delicious, arepas ( beef) excellent. Noise level somewhat distracting. Overlooks marina, had special attention from waiter Hyram, who remembered us from several days past.

   We had the beef turnovers and calamari appetizer to start. Then we had the smash burger with fries. Simply simply delicious! I wished I could’ve eaten more turnovers, but I was stuffed by the time the meal ended. They were spot on so good. The upstairs rooftop had a pool table, Jenga, a type of shuffleboard table that is super fun. Highly recommend as the ambience of the boats was super cool. We also recommend a reservation as it was quite busy when we got there for dinner. You pull up to a gatekeeper to be able to even get down into the free parking, FYI.

   So feedback on Sabalos. One of the worst dining experiences we have ever had--though the food was phenomenal when it finally showed up, and the manger could not have been more apologetic. We sat down and ordered apps and dinner...waitress came back and told us they were out of the tuna fish tacos app as well as the skirt steak my daughter ordered for dinner. Apps showed up staggered after 1 hour we sat down--after I let server know I wasn't happy as nearby tables that sat down after us were getting apps before us. About 20 min after apps showed up, my daughter's ribeye showed up. About 15 min after that, my ribeye showed up. Manager came over and apologized and said he was taking care of entrees and striking from check--kitchen was all screwed up. Maybe 20 min later my wife and son's swordfish showed up. All food from kitchen was delicious, but overall experience was HORRIBLE. on another night maybe kitchen gets it right...but not tonight. Manager very receptive and professional--genuine in knowing the experience was screwed up and tired the best he could!

   The only issue we experienced was that the fish in the fish tacos was too salty. We let them know and it was not removed from the bill. The mahi was fantastic, drinks great and service was great too
