So so

The gospel singers were amazing. The views from the boat ride were great. Our server was not attentive at all and rarely came to check on us. We saw the other tables had buttermilk biscuits, but we never got any so we had to flag him down and ask him and then he said he’d go get us some. We couldn’t get him to come back to give us refills on our drinks and at the end of the experience he was standing back by the bar the entire time and I had to go back and find him just to cash out and pay so that we could leave. Also saw him outside on the deck taking photos of the sunset instead of attending to the customers. Dirty dishes stayed on the table long after we were done eating. The food was very good except the mashed potatoes were super watery almost like a soup. It was extremely cold inside and us and other tables near us said they were freezing and could not wait to get off the boat.

Not good

Boring would not do it again. Food was ok but not that great. The sunset was beautiful and some of the scenery was nice. The gospel music wasn’t too good a lot of screaming. It was peaceful outside.
