The Pig And Parrot Sandbar

This place was recommended for a causal dinner with kids after a day at the beach. Arrived here around 6pm on a Saturday and was told it would be about a 45 minute to an hour, which we were okay with since the vibe was nice. We got a text at 6:56pm that our table was ready and went to the hostess station to be seated. We arrived at the hostess station and was told that they couldn’t seat us due to the kitchen being backed up, but that we would be the next to be seated. We waited until 8:15pm and was told that the kitchen was still backed up and we couldn’t be seated. We asked if we could at least sit at a table to order a drink for the adults and water for the kids (at this point we had been waiting for over 2 hours). I was told by the hostess that she would send a waitress over to the Adirondack chairs we were waiting in so we could at least get a water served to the kids. After another 10 minutes the hostess comes back and tells us to go upstairs to the bar if we want a drinks and water for the kids, but the kids would have to stay downstairs by themselves. At this point the place was very crowded and I obviously would not leave the kids alone to get a water at the bar. I get it that it’s hard to find help but there were three hostesses sitting on their phones for hours and not one thought that of getting a water for kids that had been waiting for 2 hours to be seated and 1.5 hours since they text us our table was ready. I felt like the whole time we were there, there were many employees just standing around when they could have been helping to make the flow better. We were VERY DISAPPOINTED with the lack of services, which is unfortunate because the place has the potential to be good.

My shrimp Caesar salad was decent. The shrimp were nice. Portion wise it was huge, I'd have appreciated a half portion option. The real let down was the drinks. Our margarita to share I purchased to keep the glass but in the end we didn't because a) it was just a plain glass with the name of the bar on it and b) the margarita just wasn't good. It was somehow both sweet AND bitter. We left half of it behind. Our server was nice if a little aimless. Of course the location is the best bit. Nice atmosphere, in amongst the boats. Could be so much better though. A real shame.
