I have to follow up on my abysmal review of pirates when they reopened. NIGHT and DAY...except the bushwhackers were better... First, the awful 6500k BRIGHT lighting is gone, replaced with the exception of a handful, with nice warm 4500k warm lighting... Holy Moly, the service is not island style at all, attentive and proactive. almost had to say "chill". Our last (first week after opening) took 1 hour to first drink, two hours to salad). portions are HUGE. salads are FANTASTIC, art to the eyes. Linda and eye were looking at everything going by saying "Oh, I wish I would have gotten that". I had the ba-ba ribs...full rack...yep I can't wait to try Wonky Dog on our next trip, but the winds/waves/swells were not favorable. ask for "the pail" drinks <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" />

Nice to hear a positive review. Will check them out when we are there in July. Last trip they were closed.
Rita It is better to be happy than it is to be right

Great to hear. We've been happy hour only there since reconstruction. My lady prefers to eat on land, but things were looking pretty grim for a while.

We were there on February 13th and the reviews were mixed. We actually had such a great lunch, service and drinks that we decided to go back for dinner.
Dinner was quite the opposite. We sat south of the bar opposite of the one man band. Music was great with plenty dancing, but loud to the point where we couldn't carry a conversation on the other side of the room. Service was miserably slow, food was less than so-so to the point where I don't even remember what anyone had. Portions were large, but I wouldn't say tasty by any means.
Thumbs up for lunch, thumbs down for dinner.
