Not happy with the calamari lately, it’s never hot enough . I had the beet salad and i thought it needn’t a bit more dressing . My husband had the mixed seafood grill … amazing as usual

I noted on the reservation that it was our daughter’s 16th birthday and we would like a nice table. When we arrived I reminded the host and we were taken to our just ok table, my daughter’s birthday was not even acknowledged. It’s as if they didn’t even look at the details of the reservation. Either that or they didn’t care, poor service no matter how you look at it. We’ve been to WAG many times but we will reconsider next time we have a special occasion.

The food was excellent and our server was great! Fantastic view. The tables and chairs could be updated/upgrade; that's the only reason for a lower ranking. I highly recommend this restaurant!
