Pros

Absolutely nothing good to say about this place. 50% off meals up to a maximum of $100. (cheap benefit). Water view is nice.

Cons

Treat servers like non-humans, no respect at all. Everyone lookout only for themselves. Hostess will sit you good customers if you are friendly with them. Even over heard them saying "if I don't like you, I will sit you with certain types of customers", they will mess with you at all times. Chefs are loud and obnoxious, selfish and greedy. Will try to get side tips which in turn reduce your tips. You still have to tip them 9% of the food sales of that table. Getting double tipped. You are screwed if customer don't tip you or tip less than 10%. Even when employees (even corporate ones) come to eat, they don't tip. Sad, sad, sad.

Pros

You can make good money once you build your own routine and build a relationship with regular customers.

Cons

The clientele can be very impatient, obnoxious and entitled, and it is not the healthiest work environment which adds to the stress. It can also be very unorganized and frustrating to be around.
