We celebrated my husband’s birthday, and everything was absolutely beautiful. The atmosphere was amazing, the service was outstanding, and the entire experience felt special from start to finish. It truly made his birthday unforgettable. Ten out of ten — I would definitely recommend this experience and we plan on going again in the near future!

Food was good. Staff was good. People that we share table was good. Just to hot in serving area. Need to fix air and better speakers for singer. Overall had a good time .

Very nice dinner and cruise around the harbor. The food was good and the service was excellent. The music was nice and set a fun and friendly atmosphere. We were seated with another couple as it was 4+ tables seating. It was very nice to meet them. We all had a wonderful time together.
We would definitely do it again.

We thoroughly enjoyed the evening. The cruise was very profession. The trip smooth food was good. Music was so so ever we would not be reluctant to do it again.

Well I really enjoyed being on the boat , my experience with the food i wasn't pleased with what I ordered chicken breast was dry burnt spinach and not portion for the money we spent and didn't get my main dish until 8;30
So it was a bummer,

A few years ago my wife I did this dinner cruise. At that time the cruise went out further out in the harbor. This time the cruise went in circles around the Cooper River bridge more than six times. I stopped counting seeing the bridge after six. I remember the previous cruise went further and I saw the Cooper River Bridge going out and coming back.
Cruisers had to pay an additional $6 for desert. Why can’t the desert be included in the price of the cruise.
The singer was reading her music from a tablet and did not know all the words. Shouldn’t an entertainer practice and know the words before an event?

Availability of lift for individuals in wheelchair. Need sweater to allow going on deck. Beautiful sunset

The food was delicious, staff was awesome, entertainment was nice, boat ride was relaxing. Only part that needed improvement was a cooler air conditioning setting in the dinning area. But the whole experience was worth the $.
Alejandro_G, May 2026
Just me being honest, I had the beef dish and I had no flavor not a lot of seasoning green beans like flavor as well. However, everything else in terms of the experience was perfect.

It was awesome. The food was really good. The beef rib was so tender. Our server, Malik was the best. Music was good. Lots of sing alongs. We were seated with a really nice couple. Will definitely do it again.

Very nice atmosphere. Love the live music. The food was okay. But the scenic views made up for it. Nice time moving from upper deck and feeling the wind.
Kristy_B, May 2026
Food was wonderful. Nice selection of entrees. Staff was very attentive. Music was awesome and not too loud.
Great tour. Highly recommend.

The sunset dinner cruise was the perfect way to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary! Food was delicious and the waitstaff was great. Would definitely recommend!

Very disappointing experience during our recent cruise on May 15, 2026
We were on board celebrating my husband's birthday, but the environment in the dining area was verv uncomfortable as there was no air conditioning and it was extremelv hot Furthermore, despite being respectfu throughout our dinner, we were asked to "keep it down" after an older party seated behind us expressed their frustration with our celebration
This was a very upsetting experience for what was supposed to be a special occasion. I wanted to bring these matters to your attention and hope to hear back from you regarding how this can be addressed.
Thank you for your time

We had an awesome time, myself and husband. Set with a couple that matched our vibe. The music was great! The guy doing the music , gave a great diversity of music, and he could really play that guitar. Thoroughly enjoyed!
Robert_S, May 2026
Fun evening. Little confused at first as to what entrance to use but good food, polite staff, and good music.
April_J, May 2026
The experience was fine. A little underwhelming but was ok. Views are nice. Large party on the cruise and they were loud but that’s not the cruise’s fault. Musician was good and picked up the pace towards the end. My dish was good. Others in my party said there’s was ok. A good evening for the most part. Mother’s Day weekend. Dessert was NOT included and is an extra charge which is odd based on the cost. Our waitress brought out a chocolate mouse type of dessert for the table to celebrate my dad’s bday and daughter’s graduation. That was thoughtful.

The boat is ok and the views were great. But for $100 themealbahouldhae included dessert. The beef was dry. In short the meal was not worth the money but we had a good time.
MICHAEL_S, Apr 2026
Un Cooked Food, Cold Food. Chicken was Fatty, Not Fully Cooked, and Not Warm or Hot. Shrimp Was Not Cooked as well.
romaine_w, Apr 2026
There are not instructions for how to get to the boarding location and we didn’t see any signs.
My chicken was cold and the replacement was hot but not cooked completely.
Chris_A, Apr 2026
Experience was enjoyable. Took over 35 minutes for or cocktails to be served but the wait up top was wonderful
Lisa_B, Apr 2026
Exceptional experience. Organized, fancy, delicious! Our expectations were exceeded! Our server, Barbara was very kind and personable!
Richard_N, Apr 2026
Limited wine choices. Had to pay extra for dessert which was unexpected. Went longer than needed. Should cut by 30 minutes.
Monica_B, Apr 2026
The staff was amazing. The food was good. Livr music played while we ate and cruised. It was a lovely time.
Deanca_C, Apr 2026
The dinner cruise was an amazing experience! The perfect way to celebrate my birthday! I experienced intentional service Catherine was great! I am grateful for the birthday song! I met so many amazing people, and am appreciative of the table who purchased my pictures, and another table taking care of my tab! I appreciate the management checking in throughout the cruise to make sure needs were met! I’d definitely come back!
Deborah_L, Apr 2026
Food was great service great . Booking the cruise was easy, very timely on and off at boat exactly as advertised.
Larry_M, Apr 2026
Overall it’s a nice time but there are some annoyances. First it was not crystal clear that the desert was not included in the 3 course meal. Seating is strange as there are tables for 2 but it apparently those bookings are handled separately. Not very romantic or intimate sitting with stranglers. Not a lot of time for watching the scenery as the meal is served over most of the cruise. It’s also pretty loud. But overall it is pretty enjoyable.

We boarded at 7pm, sat down and they took our drink orders. We got our soup (first part of the course) by 7:45pm but then the salad and remainder of the course we didn’t get until 9:00pm. We were the very last table served, towards the back, so that might have been part of the reason it was so late. But right behind our table was a curtain covering up where the guy was scraping off the dirty dishes. It was so loud because he was banging the plates and throwing the silverware. It was hard to even hear each other talk at times. From the time we got our drinks until the time our main course was served, our server only came to our table once or twice. The soda we ordered at 7:30pm was then flat by the time it was time to eat. The server definitely was more attentive to another table beside us because they kept ordering alcoholic drinks (which costs extra). Then found out that dessert was an added fee. The description for the cruise says 3 course meal included, they should not have charged extra for the dessert, especially after paying $100 a person already and paying for drinks on top of that (only iced tea was comped). Also every table except for 2 or 3 of the tables didn’t even get any rolls at the very beginning, they ran out. How do you run out of bread if they knew how many people were signed up for the dinner? There was a guy there who looked like he was the manager/supervisor. He was just going back and forth to the kitchen and bar. Would have been nice if he had gone up to each table to ask how things were or apologized for things taking so long. Right before we were supposed to get our main entree the server said “sorry they ran out of salmon, so they’re cooking you a fresh one now.” When our food came out it wasn’t even hot. The ship was nice and the weather and sunset were great. The music was great, even though it was kind of hard to hear at the very back of the boat with all the clanging from the dishes going on. I really think they need to make announcements on when the courses will be coming out, that way people could walk around the ship while they’re waiting instead of worrying about missing when the food arrived. We got the dessert about 10 minutes before we had to get off the boat. It would have just been nice to have been served the food earlier on, so we weren’t eating so late.

Enjoyed the live music, enjoyed the food. Our server was not good at all. He would act like he didn’t see us and helped every other party that was around us. Had to constantly ask for refills for tea and one time he brought my husband unsweetened tea and we didn’t ask for that. He told the other tables around us that desert was included but told us that it was not included with our meal. I asked for a straw and he said they have any and I said that the lady server on the other side of the room gave her tables straws and he tells me that she brought her own. My husband and I were very disappointed with our server. But besides having issues with our server we enjoyed the dinner cruise with the live music very much. We will definitely be doing this again.
Brad_E, Mar 2026
Long wait for food and drinks. The food wasn’t that good. The music was bad. It was a bad experience will not be back. Spent to much money for the experience.

The place to pick up your tickets is right where you board. Many reviews made this very confusing, but it is right there at the dock. You are seated with others you may not know. We had family we met there and were seated together. Dinner was good, everyone was happy with their meal. Service was good and it was a nice evening. It was a bit brisk the night we went so we did not venture out of the dining room. This is a good event and is not weather dependent as the dining room is completely indoors.
