I wanted to like this place because I love fish, and I like beer. So, I really looked forward to my meal. The reviews here on yelp lead me to believe it would be a good experience. But, unfortunately not. Our experience was ruined by poor service and bad food.
As we sat in the restaurant, it is clear that the owner cares about service in that there are a lot of servers working, and some of them were working very hard. But, as seems common now, some of the wait staff, average age maybe 25, would rather visit with their friends than work.
We were seated quickly, and offered a drinks that were brought quickly and our order taken. But, that was it. Our waiter never came back to check on us. He was hiding in the kitchen. So we sat without drinks for quite a while. We had a really hard time catching anyone's eye to help us, eventually having to leave our table to get someone's attention. That person got him to come and see us.
When our food came, it was overcooked. The kettle chips burnt, practically inedible. The fish almost burnt. This is entirely speculation on my part, but maybe our waiter was distracting the cook from his/her job in the kitchen. What ever the reason, this is really poor service.
If this place was cheap, I would be more willing to let this go - you get what you pay for. But, I think with a couple of drinks this was over $100. For that, I expect good, responsive service and properly cooked food. Sad, sad, sad. An awful experience.
