If I could give 10 stars I would. Kenneth Dunn was the bartender and he was so amazing, I can’t even describe how amazing he was. His manager, Phillis, knows how to manage people. What an amazing experience! A great price for an amazing night. Thank you, Kenneth for making it the best night on my vacation! And Denise, the captain, was so friendly, too! So happy I got to chat with her! This place deserves 100 stars. - Kasea Steele
