| - What has happened to ROCKSALT?
Historically one of our favorite restaurants, we arrived for our designated reservation time and were greeted and seated promptly. That was the end of the positives of our experience.
My wife and I had a lovely conversation and realized we had been sitting for 30 minutes and hadn't been brought a glass of water, nothing. Finally a nice young lady came over and apologized for the delay. Ok, we are out for a night out, no big deal. We ordered some cocktails, inquired about gluten in some of the appetizers and waited. Thirty minutes later we still did not have our drinks and no answers about our questions. The explanation upon return is there is only one bartender, apparently an incompetent one at that. Our server apologized again, said the manager was going to come chat with us. The "manager"dropped two drinks on the table and said, "these are on me", not much of an apology, candidly we just wanted to eat. We ordered the Mid Country boil for $18, the portion size was laughable, desperate to eat we ordered the fresh catch, which actually arrived relatively quickly, the food however was bland, tasteless and tiny. The $26 per plate seems like it should warrant more than a three ounce piece of fish, unfortunately our waitress also dissuaded us from ordering sides. She also forgot to bring us the glass of wine we ordered to have with dinner. So, we left with $100 tab and hungry.
What a horrible experience, needless to say, we will be unlikely to return anytime soon.
