Hornblower Cruises & Events Pier 15

This is a really fun way to spend an evening. It is popular with tourists and the frat crowd, but for what you'd spend at a bar you can't beat the views or breeze and you can easily add buffet and open bar to your pass. Great for any size group or occasion.

I just need to make a comment here about the excellent services they provide. I was impressed by the friendly and professional staff. I was scheduled to go on a party cruise Friday June 24th but due to some unforeseen circumstances we missed it, we tried to call but the next day we went there and there was a girl who was extra nice, but I can't remember her name, and she allowed us to go in the next cruise. There was 3 of us and we were all impressed with their courtesy and respect.

Got comp tickets off Goldstar... but we upgraded once we got there. The cruise was good and DJ played nice tunes. They had really good food. My family had an awesome time. We been on many of their cruises and will go again.

I so wanted to love this. The website is great, the online ticket buying system is great, the schedule of events is great. It was my birthday, and I was thrilled to go to the klezmer brunch. I love klezmer music, and the brunch menu looked really wonderful. I was excited.

When we got there, the receptionist was just rude and cold, but that was ok. We got a table near the stage, at 10:30. The music was supposed to begin at 11. Our waitress was even ruder than the receptionist, and sour. Even though the menu listed cappuccino and espresso, she said we could only have coffee because "they haven't printed up new menus." (The menus are just printed out on regular printer paper, how hard could this be.) Fine. We ordered coffee, and ordered our food.

The band started collecting on the stage just before 11, but they didn't start playing until 11:45. The show was supposed to start at 11. Through the 11-11:45 period they'd randomly be warming up, and at the same time the restaurant had relatively loud music playing through the large speakers so it was unpleasant, having all that noise going on simultaneously. When the band finally started playing at 11:45, there was no mention of the delay. Nighttime concerts often start late, but this was BRUNCH, dude. Also: NOT KLEZMER. Just because the band has a clarinet does not make it klezmer. It was jazz, which was ok, but it wasn't klezmer and that's what I came to hear. We stayed for 2 songs and left.

Oh, and the sour waitress poured coffee all over the table, and on my arm, and didn't even comp the coffee.

All in all it was disappointing, to say the least. The food was not that great; my fritatta was dry and very chewy, but the rosemary potatoes and salad that came with it were ok. The coffee was ok. I'm not sure I'll go back, which is a shame because it's a place with a lot of potential.

One of the best Spanish cuisine meals my family has had. The food was delicious, the service was friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is very cozy. My son and daughter claim the white wine sangria is the best they have tasted. Highly recommend this restaurant.
