"Restaurant was crowded and seems very popular. The upstairs area and patio have a great lively atmosphere. But no dogs allowed except on the lower back patio. Downstairs served only drinks. Great place to watch the sunset and hang out. Since we had our small dog we needed to order out and it was hit enough on patio without a lot of shade that we took it back to house. Great seafood. Food alone is a five. Got the grilled seafood platter, New Orleans BBQ shrimp, and crab stuffed jalapenos. Should have realized we had no way to eat the crab. Only plastic utensils supplied. Gotta plan ahead next time. Definitely worth the stop."

"Very disappointed in the overall service and food. We were seated for 20 minutes and never did have a wait person come to acknowledge us. I had to go up and let the hostess know we still had not been waited on and asked her to send someone over to our table. Finally someone came to take our order but from the time we were seated it took 30 minutes just to get our drink and food order and we ended up with another server after our order was taken. Our drinks and food did come out in a timely fashion however the fried seafood platter was way over cooked and the stuffed shrimp was extremely salty. On a good note the pecan crusted salmon was good, albeit pricey. After we were finished, it took a very long time to get our bill and then for the waitress to get us paid out. I did not like your tipping system at all, having the wait person bring a computer tablet to you, after receiving your paper receipt, then asking what percentage you want to tip. If you didn't select one fast enough it timed out so she had to bring out another hand held device asking me to type in the dollar amount I wanted to tip. Customers should not be put on the spot about tipping. I have always been a good tipper but for me, it should be reflective of the overall service, quality of food and price to determine the amount of tip to include on the food receipt that is brought to us, not on a computerized tablet brought out by your wait person, asking you to pick a tip percentage. Though I was only going to give a 1 star rating, I chose 2 because once we did get the wait person assigned to our table, she did her best but it was obvious she has not been well trained on how to wait tables. It seemed like she was all over the floor serving customers, not allowing her to efficiently serve her customers. I understand that it is the busy season, but in summary, we had a very dissatisfied evening with service, food and pricing as we were there to celebrate our granddaughters 21st birthday. I hope things improve at your establishment as we have been there several times but your current operation and food preparation are not reflective of the better times that we have been there in the past."

"Our waitress was to the point and on her way this way, that way and back again. Food was good and the portions matched the cost. The margaritas were on point and back to back which is rare but this bar tender isn 't your average Joe! Salad bar was small but good! Environment was average and you could definitely tell the difference between the locals and visitors. Outside area was over grown and seem to be in need of repair but then again, no one was out there. Still should maintain the lawn which the rating for the 4 and not a 5. Of course when you drive up it 's not what I expected and this place could use some cosmetic updates but other then that it was all good vibes. Two 's up! The final break down on the receipt would have been nice but I 'm good with paying for good food. $100 buck for a party of 3. Ordered 3 appetizers jalopeno kisses, shrimp wrapped in bacon and shrimp cocktail, 2 margaritas, 12 -Oz rib eye steak (1 cut) w/ French fries and garlic bread and fried shrimp w/ baked potato along withb2 salads which were self serve."

"We arrived at 9:55 AM on Saturday morning and were directed to find our own seats. Our drink orders were taken immediately, and we placed our food order at 10:01. To our surprise, we didn’t receive anything until 10:30 when we finally got a basket of chips and some salsa. By 10:42, after watching multiple tables arrive and be served, another customer approached us, curious as to why we hadn’t received our food when they had already come and gone. Shortly after, another server noticed us and asked if we still hadn’t received our meals. By 11:05, I walked up to the bar where our server and two others were chatting and asked if our order was ever sent to the kitchen. I was informed it had been, and one of them would check on it. It took another eight minutes for our food to finally arrive, but one of the three meals we ordered was incorrect. To make matters worse, we were informed they had run out of the menudo we had ordered. Additionally, the whole time we were there, the busser was cleaning tables, but he merely moved the dirty dishes to a neighboring table instead of disposing of them. It was quite unappetizing—did they not have a trash bin or sink for disposal? What frustrated us the most wasn’t just the long wait or the pile of dirty dishes next to us, or even watching other diners come, eat, and leave while we waited. It was the manager's lack of urgency or acknowledgment of the situation. She acted as if nothing was wrong and never offered an apology for the absurdly long wait. Even our server seemed embarrassed by how the manager handled it. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience and left a poor first impression on my friends, whom I had hoped to impress with what is usually a wonderful meal. I hope they can improve this for my next visit to Bolivar. Please do better!"
