    Website posts Friday n Saturday seafood buffet so booked for four thinking valentines dinner would be buffet. It was a special set menu for dinner. Food was good n menu was good selection for main dish. Because it was busy, server brought main dish while we were still eating salad so they set main dishes aside in the back. Got dinner but everything was cold. Did not ask to be changed because we would have had to wait longer for them to fe-order. Manager was nice enough to give us a discount for excellent but cold food

    The true measure of a restaurant is how they perform under pressure. Dinner at a packed Fish Hopper for Valentine’s Day brought the four of us a five star experience. Delicious food, memorable ambiance and ultra friendly and professional service. Highly recommended.
