Shell Shocked at Seven Fish
Last night's dining experience at Seven Fish was one for the books--but not in a good way. With stellar reviews, we expected a top-notch evening for my birthday. Instead, we got a comedy of errors that left us both shell-shocked and thoroughly sickened.
For my birthday, we decided to share a 2-pound lobster from the daily specials menu. Sounds fancy, right? Well, this lobster must have been working out because its shell was more plasticized than a Gumby figurine. After an embarrassingly futile attempt to crack/stretch it open, we had to send it back to the kitchen for further opening. Talk about a buzzkill.
When our lob-stacle finally returned, the meat's odd color was the first red flag. But trusting the restaurant's glowing reputation, we went ahead and dug in. Big mistake. Within 40 minutes, we were both doing the bathroom dash, clutching our stomachs and regretting every bite. Our planned post-dinner celebrations to meet friends for cocktails? Flushed down the drain.
If you're looking for a memorable night, steer clear of Seven Fish. Unless, of course, you enjoy rubbery shells, off-colored meat, and a front-row seat to the porcelain throne. Bon appétit!
**UPDATE**/ after a call from Karl the GM- in which I requested nothing but to inform. He took no responsibility, attempted to accuse me and my guest of drinking too much (one glass of wine between us two for the entire evening) or that it was a result of something else we had done up to two weeks ago. Karl asked for documentation from a hospital or doctor - otherwise in his mind, this may not have even happened. Unfortunate, but consistent with the quality of customer experience reading Karl's other replies to low reviews, he remains steady with insults versus resolutions. Dine with caution!
