We decided to pop in here for a bite to eat after our long tour of the island, and god I wish we hadn't.
I ordered the special, which was "Mackerel fillets in a herb and butter sauce, with chive mash, served with vegetables. Herself had a mushroom and bacon omelet and the young lad had the sausages and chips.
When our food arrived I immediately noticed the lack of chives in my mash, and also that the mash was a ball of grease, in all my years I have never seen anything like it, I would have been blinded with the sheen off it, it I hadn't been wearing my sun glasses, the fish was so dry, I could have hammered nails in with it and there was a total lack of the promised herb butter and the vegetables, I took one bite of the fish and mash and, Christ it was vile, so I pushed it to one side as there was no way I was assaulting my palette with it.
The omelet wasn't too bad, it lacked any form of seasoning but other than that, I couldn't fault it. The sausages and chips were just thrown onto the plate and were exactly what they were, although for €9 I would have expected a bit more, like maybe, home cut chips (they were shoestring chips from a packet) and some sort of gourmet sausage instead of the basic ones that were served.
My family ate what they were given without complaint as I headed back into the restaurant in search of our waitress, I explained that I couldn't eat my food as it was terrible, so she followed me out to the table (we choose to eat outside) she took one look at my plate and said "Oh my god that's disgusting" she asked if I wanted anything else, and I refused, saying that it had put me off eating there, she said she would feel the same and took the food back to the kitchen.
We paid the €25 bill and left, hopefully to never return again.
