Matey's Restaurant

This is a non-food review only.

Saw this place after spending some time at the beach.  We decided to stop by for some cold beverages and appetizers.  We got neither.  We sat at the bar and were not greeted by a server or bartender.  However we did witness an over served 20-something year old girl starting a fight with a couple in their early 60's. Mind you this was 3:45 in the afternoon on a Tuesday so a tough work week was no excuse.  The older couple was eating a meal while the classy young lady decided to spit on the wood deck.  Yeah a wood deck-not the outside ground which clearly would have been more lady like and sanitary.  Rather than apologize for being disgusting  and letting it go the young lady decided to threaten and spew expletives at the couple.  And so she spits again in the direction of the older couple.  Thats when we left.  The problem I have with this place is that no staff person on the deck stepped in.  This young person was also over served at 3:30 on a Tuesday afternoon-that's a big no no in the service industry. Clearly you cannot blame this 100% on the restaurant however they should be trained better to recognize when someone is over served.  They also need to be confident in stepping in to diffuse situations quicker.  If you serve alcohol there are going to be issues.  This situation could have been avoided after the initial spitting but the staff was not getting involved.  Oh and Brittany (AKA the   Classy Spitter) don't be so selfish.  It's ok to admit you did something wrong and apologize.

Service was excellent! Visiting from NJ and the server was so friendly and knew the menu perfectly. The food is phenomenal and it's a fantastic themed restaurant.

ahoy!

this place is supes festive.  vacation-y, tropical, pirate-y.  a biker bar.

sit up on the roof deck at the bar underneath the shade if it's a super hot day out.  i ordered the strawberry/kiwi vodka drink.  i had a few of those.  just sat and people-watched, of course.

didn't order any food, but the burgers looked HUGE!  and tasty.
