This place has great food, but they shoot themselves in the foot by hiring unprofessional people to serve it. Our waitress came by our table just after we were seated and we weren't ready to order yet, so she didn't come back for 15 minutes. This was at 4:30 so the place was nearly empty; she just went inside and... more

We ate a late lunch at Uncle Ernie's Bayfront Grill. We sat outside and the view was spectacular. The food was very, very good. We had the Crabcakes for an appitizer, and although they were not lump crab meat, they were very good. I had the Seasme Crusted Tuna Steak with Scallops and it was properly cooked to my liking... more

The service was very good, our deckside table was clean and the prices for lunch were very reasonable with many of the dishes including a soup... more

We decided to try the restaurant based on a personal recommendation. We arrived at 7:00PM and decided to eat on the upper deck. We enjoyed listening to the live music and nice view. By 8:00 it became cold and dark (very few lights on the top deck). We ordered a variety of meals. The dinners were excellent with very large... more

I ate on a Thursday night, not too crowed and decided to eat on the upper deck. I was initially met by the bar tender for my drink order despite the fact that I was at a table. That's fine, but when I asked for a draft, she told me that she only had bottles on the deck. OK, but... more

Great location, food and service!! more
