If you're a big city food snob like me, then you'll want to steer clear of this place. The food is abysmal.
We started with crab cakes, which I had high hopes for since the restaurant is so close to Dungeness, but they were nothing to write home about. The crab was drowned out by breading and the sweet sauce was unnecessary.
After that the meal took a dive off a cliff. Salads were unimaginative, as if someone had thrown whatever veggies they had left in their fridge onto a bed of lettuce. Then suddenly you're chewing on a piece of Big Red gum, no wait, that's a bizarre sweet cinnamon carrot hiding in the ruffage.
We had steak and the seafood gnocchi. The steak was cooked as ordered, but yet again, another unnecessary sweet sauce that looked like jelly. The seafood gnocchi was dreadful. Way too much cream sauce, stale tasting gnocchi, 3 pieces of shrimp, and a small pile of fishy smelling and tasting crab in the middle. I was afraid I would get food poisoning, so I skipped eating the crab, which left me very little protein and very little satiation.
Why we kept going, I know not. Maybe we hoped the dessert would redeem the meal. Chocolate cake was sad and dry. Strawberry cheesecake which boasted "strawberries galore" had no strawberries, but was made with strawberry cream cheese. Both desserts had dollops of canned whipped cream.
While the decor was entertaining, and the staff very friendly, the restaurant felt like my depression-era Great Grandma was running the joint. Bless her heart.
