| - This place ranks among the absolute WORST OF THE WORST! Here is a list of a few lowlights of the evening:
1) Bewildering wacky, maze-like, dismal, neglected interior, with a crazy mish-mash of pirate, Asian, and pub-themed decorative items (that all look to have a permanent film of grease).
2) Insane combination of both impossibly dim lighting in some spots and almost painfully glaring chandeliers in others (probably for the best so that we could not really see the unholy awful food that was about to be served to us).
3) Overflowing, plugged-up bathroom sink with no paper towels (at least there was toilet paper in the stall)
4) Waitress at neighboring table (three feet away) TWICE dropped ramekins of melted butter all over table and floor (our waitress, however, was friendly, prompt, and competent at least).
5) Some sort of rock band was setting up in the adjoining bar area and had to troop back and forth through dining area, repeatedly, with all of their equipment and instruments to set up on stage...this went on for about a half hour and was very disruptive.
6) Most importantly, the food was HORRID! My husband's lobster bisque was a salty, gloppy mess which may have had some lobster flavoring added to it somewhere in there, along with the puzzling presence of potatoes. Steamed clams were ok..not great but not terrible...were overcooked though. Prime rib was inedible. Leathery, thin, super-fatty, cold, and other than the taste of old beef tallow, had no flavor...like it had been sitting in a warmer for the last four or five days. I ate a few bites because I was starving and we were still an hour and a half away from home, but it was so vile that I just left three-quarters of it on the plate. Didn't bother sending it back because by then, it was evident that any replacement would have been no better. My husband got an abomination of a broiled seafood medley that was rubbery and tasted of nothing but oily melted margarine and garlic powder.
Been to many a restaurant in my 50 years, and usually am at least moderately satisfied. This place, however, was among the worst I have ever had the misfortune to experience. It looks like it used to be a good place, maybe like 25 years ago, and perhaps some family member inherited it a while back who know little of decent food and restaurant management, and is now just barely hanging on. Ultimately, my advice: AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!
