All you can eat fish night, lost my order, very few patrons there at the time. Everyone at my table was done with their meals before I received mine, without the side, an hour later after ordering. Food was good and waitress was doing her best to make it right, even refunded the meal. Recommend checking on how long the wait will be before ordering.
