My brother and I brought our out of town family here for lunch 9/24/2024. I don't expect exceptional quality from Mo's (the chowder is flat and lacking in clam flavor, to say the least), but love the view so we decided to give it (another) try. At least the last time we came, the waitstaff was friendly. Not so this time around. I worked in the restaurant industry for over a decade, including as a manager, and have never experienced rudeness to the extent we did yesterday. The waitress barely acknowledged us, was abrupt and unprofessional, and visibly rolled her eyes when my sister, who was not feeling well, said she wasn't ordering anything. I was literally taken aback by her behavior. Had we not had my very hungry 83 year old mother with us, we would have walked out then and there. I would have asked to speak to a manager, but all of the staff looked equally perturbed to be inconvenienced by their customers. I guess it should have been a clue when we walked in and heard another customer say, as they were leaving, "Well, we'll never come here again".
It was downright shameful and, not only will I never return, I will tell everyone I know about our experience.
P.S. in reading the vast majority of positive reviews, it is no wonder most are from out of state and likely haven't experienced the excellent seafood Oregon has to offer. Do yourselves a favor and go to Ecola Seafood downtown and walk a few blocks to take in the views. It'll be worth the time and effort.
