Worst Service Possible

by DCS08 at Citysearch

Visited on a Sunday afternoon expecting to sit outside listening to live music. Instead, due to cloudy weather that morning (it WASN'T and DIDN'T rain while I was there or later) the musicians played inside much to our disappointment. While the music was great, the food and service were terrible. Once the waiter finally made it over to the table to take our orders, he then disappeared and we had to ask for another server. In total, we had FIVE different servers wait on the four of us during our two hour stay. And then we had to ask for drinks because nobody seemed to care our glasses were empty. Needless-to-say, I'm never going back and neither will the guests who were with me. Overrated. Overpriced. Poor management.

  • Pros: It's on the water.
  • Cons: Service is awful.

so much potential

by aaaaaaaaaaaa at Citysearch

Rick's has great potential if the service matched the atmosphere. The food is quite good and it's a great location for outdoor dining on the west side of town. It would be so nice to sit on the deck and have cocktails if it were possible to get any service (this goes for inside as well. I have been several times and not once been greeted or served in a timely manner. It is not uncommon to see a patron sit for 30 minutes with an empty drink before being asked if they would like another.

  • Pros: outdoor dining, on the water, upscale atmosphere
  • Cons: terrible service, inatentive servers

"NOT ALL THAT"

by QTEE2 at Citysearch

We took my son and family to RICKS BOATYARD when they were visiting from atlanta, georgia. We always look for someplace new and special. Well, the atmosphere is great, but very pricey for what you get and the menu is very limited. Not impressed at all. Had to sit in a booth by the waiter's station. Very noisy and five people in little booth.

  • Pros: resort atmosphere
  • Cons: pricey, food average, noisy, bad service

Waste of money and time

by tamoore at Citysearch

Awful, awful service. We complained to the manager and discovered why the rest of the staff has such a crappy attitude. It's a foolish error to go here. They need to rebuild the staff of this place from the top down.

  • Cons: expensive, bad service, bad attitude
