| - Came in for lunch yesterday with two girlfriends who were equally disappointed. We ordered one of the restaurants signature drinks "sea legs" to start. The description on the menu and the waiter are what sold us on giving the cocktail a try. I am by no means a snob when it comes to drinks...usually if I'm not too crazy about a drink, I can still finish it. This one, I could not take more than a few sips. The after taste was so bad, it made the drink unbearable. It tasted like how an old musty basement smells. If you try it, you'll know what I mean.
The concept of this restaurant is overall very confusing. Are we in the retro 70's Brady Bunch type of place serving fresh expensive seafood dishes after a long day of being on your boat with family? or are we a chill hangout place where you come for cheap fried food when youre drunk after a long day of being on your boat? Even the name is weird. Hello sailor? Is the owner a 85 year old couple or is this place going to be a modern gay bar?
The food was overpriced, the menu was extremely limited, and almost everything they offered was fried. My friends ordered the calamari sandwich and I opted for a "healthier" option and ordered catfish and avocado slaw.
The waiter informed us that they just "ran out of the calamari sandwich and just delivered the last to a table" after they had ordered. They opted for the chicken sandwich instead. Cant go wrong with a chicken sandwich right? Wrong.
Again, the chicken was fried...is grilled an option? Whatever. It had zero flavor and the only thing that made it edible was some dill type sauce that wss served with it. The fries werent bad. I would have preferred a chicken sandwich from Wendy's.
The catfish. It came out fried in a basket and the avocado slaw was thrown into a plastic bowl.
When the food was brought out i exclaimed, "oh this is fried?!" If everything is fried you need to put that on the menu. I saw where options were calabash which I knew was lightly fried, but that was not written on the menu for several of the fish options. You can't just assume that everyone knows that everything served here is fried.
We also got east coast oysters (half dozen) for $18. They were OK but not worth the price. As we got our oysters, a table next to us got a 40oz (of beer) served to them on ice.
What is this place?
The waiter was very nice and in no way was anything his fault, but overall the concept of this place is extremely confusing, the menu is limited and in no way descriptive, and the food is WAY overpriced.
This place is not going to survive. Especially during the summer. Pick a concept and commit to it. Expand your menu. Get a chef and bartenders who know what they are doing. Lower your prices and serve burgers and chicken tenders and fries or raise the quality of the food that you're serving. If anyone comes here and rants and raves about anything about this place, its bullshit. Bring the rusty rudder back or save your money and go somewhere nicer on the lake.
