"my evening last night was one of the worst experiences I had in one. apparently, right in front of our table of 9 all barkeepers sat up. our drinks lasted 50 minutes to arrive. when they did, the waitress had a cocktail, a false beer, a false wee (a red wine was ordered and a white wine came out) and lacked the rest. a gast 's bottle of beer took 90 minutes to come. sure, the people who worked the bar were rejoiced after the team was ended, but someone told us in front and at least apologetic, that would have been 've ok. then we have one of our two appetizers, the sampler. it tasted good, but it looked pretty institutional. the meerrot rindsalpine pieces looked like comminuted rest. at the 50-minute mark when I asked for a manager. the waitress was very sweet. the manager should have been over without having to ask because the lack of service was painful. she came by and had no idea who wanted to talk to her. I put our care to the test and she told us the story of the bar. she wasn't super apologetic, but she brought our second appetizer. the meal finally arrived. the woman next to me got her laughs almost raw. the birthday boy got the grilled seafood trio, that was cold. I got the crabcake. which in the round was a disassembled brunette in a sauce that had a coating over it, sitting out too long. I started with the heap salad, that was really pretty good. all in all, I want to be sensitive to personal lack. I understand it's hard. but what I don't have is a manager who can't handle the problems or handle them properly. while waiting for our controls, the manager also went over the dining room to chew for food from the kitchen. when we were gone, she said thank you for coming. but not said so sorry for all the problems, we hope they will be back."

"Aloha is a pleasure to work with. I have seen Aloha Seafood refrigerated trucks at restaurants. They are now delivering to residences. If you like great seafood consider giving them a call. We regularly get Ahi grade 1 sashimi and have never been disappointed. The other night we had Manila clams. All were good and we were surprised there were no dead clams. Our driver told me they check for freshness before leaving the dock. Finally, they have Dungeness crab. For those that don't know, our crab season has been delayed since November due to price negations between fishermen and large wholesale processing plants. The pricing issue is simple. The processors have a glut of last year's crab due to Covid which caused restaurants to shut down. Aloha sells live and cooked crab. Their crab is cooked by a neighbor on the wharf. We had a cooked crab tonight that was fantastic. AlohaSeafood knows that residential chefs don't know their trade lingo and patiently explain the lingo and can give you answers to questions. We have had a myriad of other items including Alaskan black cod and smoked Salmon. AlohaSeafood is small enough they take pride on what they sell. They refuse to sell sub-standard product even when it means they won't have a product. Delivery is fantastic. Where can you order fish in the evening and have it before 1PM the following day. Fish is delivered in refrigerated vans. Aloha is large enough to give you a very competitive delivery and price structure. AlohaSeafood has also partnered with a local wholesaler that sells Produce boxes. We regularly get the organic box. I recommend giving AlohaSeafood a call."

"This was our last nights stay in the States and had we not had a restaurant booking nearby, I would have moved to another establishment. In fact in hindsight I wish we had moved elsewhere straight after the meal. Pros Clean rooms. Cons No staff member on site at 4pm!! We collected envelopes with names on keys inside. Found our rooms one at the very front of the hotel and one at the very back. One king size and one double. We were traveling with teens and needed one to be a twin room as per our booking. We rang the out of hrs service number and a girl said a message would be passed on to the manager. That was at 430. We went for a drive around the coastline and at 630 rang again. The manager would call or email us back. 4 weeks later and we're still waiting!! When we returned from our meal we had to make do. The kids took the king size room and tried to use clothing to divide it. We were worried we were so far away from them in an almost empty hotel, that anyone could enter. I hardly slept. No breakfast of any sort just a voucher for money off a local bakery. No one in reception when we checked out Tea coffee only available a few hours each day.... Tips to visitors Don't stay here until they have sorted any issues out, provide some facilities such as kettles. Once updated with staff on site I can imagine it to be a great place to stay but not at present. Tips to management Check bookings Staff your reception If a customer rings the service line, ring or email back If a customer rings the service line a second time, get down to the hotel to sort In an almost empty, huge hotel, don't allocate parents and children rooms at opposite ends of the hotel...... Overall this establishment clearly needs an overhaul across the board, esp needing a member of staff on site. I have never given such a poor rating for a hotel. But 4 of us (Inc the teens) all agreed it was a terrible stay and not a nice ending to our break. We did not feel either welcome or secure. Would we stay here again? No"
