Food was typical bar food with only one vegan option, a vegan burger, which was decent. Happy to have something I could eat. Didn't like that we were at a standing table, outside, in front of the stage but told we had to stay in our seat, couldn't even stand at the table with the chair right behind us. Last thing I want to do after sitting at a desk all day is sit and listen to a good band... let me move my legs just a little bit while staying at my table.

I love the Score but this experience wasn't the best. We were celebrating a birthday and made the reservation for 6 plus a high chair. We were seated outside but we had a toddler and it was very hot so we requested a table under the covered area but they said they had too many reservations at that time and only offered us a high top, still in the sun, and doesn't really work with a high chair. Our waitress was not friendly or very informed on their policies about birthday deals or VIP perks. Our food was all very good and came out in a timely manner. The worst part was, the table we requested was still empty when we left.

We always have a great time here! Was happy they could accommodate 10 of us for outdoor seating! We were bummed at first we didn’t get in the sand& were off to the side tho. Then come that sun hit the sand and we were shaded, we were happy! :) We were shocked they allowed small children to run around next to us, especially now! Our service was subpar and that was a first, in the many times we’ve been! Also, portions of the fish and shrimp have gotten smaller since our visits last year. Nothing that would deter us from going again,but things had changed during Covid, it seems! Fun, quaint place!

Great meal with our friends and all our kids before our Monday volleyball match. Food was great as always (pulled pork sandwich). Service was great as our server was nice and interacted with our kids and checked on us often and brought our drinks fast! I forget her name but newer (hired this year I think she said) and she typically serves the Vball players too- our table was the high tops real close to the courts.
