| - I've been here twice, and had a bad experience both times so I decided to review this place.
I'll start off with the positives:
- The location on the shore of Lake Erie is hard to beat on a nice summer day. One of the only restaurants in Lake County with lakefront dining.
- The food is good, but not excellent
The Bad:
- My first time here, my wife and I showed up on a Sunday evening at around 7p.m. and wanted to eat dinner. We were informed that the kitchen was too backed up and they were not taking any more food orders for the rest of the day. Seriously!? How does a restaurant expect to stay in business when they can't keep up with food orders on a Sunday night?
- We noticed some people did order food from the bartender, and a guy wearing a "SECURITY" shirt then proceeded to scold the bartender in front of all the patrons for doing this. Very rude and unacceptable.
- The drink prices seemed kind of steep. I think I remember around $8-9 each for watered down piña coladas.
- The second visit was underwhelming as well. Again, we went on a Sunday evening, but showed up at 5:30 for fear they wouldn't be serving food after 7.
- We were told by the hostess to seat ourselves, and were then ignored for about 15 minutes before someone asked us for a drink order and gave us menus.
- We sat at a table outside and it was filthy with food scraps from previous diners. No one ever cleaned the table even though it was clearly dirty.
- The worst part happened when we got our bill. I ordered a crab cake sandwich and subbed onion rings for the potato chips. My wife ordered a portobello sandwich and subbed cole slaw for potato chips. We had three summer shandys total as well. Our bill after tax and tip was over $50! Upon further review, we were charged for the full appetizer/side order prices, not a substitution price. I wouldn't have a huge problem with this, but I only got a handful of o-rings and it was a $6 up charge. On top of it, I didn't receive the potato chips. My wife's cole slaw was a $3 up charge (for a small scoop). So essentially I paid $18 for a crab cake sandwich with about 5 onion rings. If you're going to charge me for a basket of onion rings, give me a basket of onion rings.
I don't think I'll be going back to this place any time soon, and judging by how poorly this place is managed, I don't think they'll be in business much longer. If I wanted expensive, mediocre, water front dining, I'll head over to Pickle Bills.
I'd give it one star if not for the great location and atmosphere.
