Sam's Boat (N. Mopac)


A Whole new meaning to the term castaway. If you're thinking about hopping on the boat, I want to warn you that it may turn out to be strictly a booze cruise.
This place has a nautical theme. Step outside and you feel as though you're a few steps away from diving off the plank. We bellied up to the bar, which we later learned was the best idea we could have had at the restaurant. After grabbing our first drinks, which were pleasing, we went to the hostess stand to be seated. She escorted us to our table outside and we waited for our server....and waited....and waited. At one point, a server came to the table to ask if we had ordered the queso she was carrying on her tray. We told her no and pointed to the table next to us. It wasn't their queso either and they told us she'd been out to the patio with it three times.
After finishing our drinks, we checked with the hostess to see what the problem was, but she acted like she was unaware of the fact that she had ever brought us to our table. At that moment we realized we had become castaways on the patio and quickly bobbed to the parking lot in search of a rescue.
If you're looking for the booze cruise, 3.5 out of 5...If food is what you crave 0 out of 5. Arghh!
