| - Our friends along with my husband and I were looking for a restaurant in the area that had clam bakes. After reading in a local news flyer about Lures menu, we decided to give them a try so I made a reservation for 7:15. We arrived on time, but ended up standing and waiting for our table for 10 minutes. I chalked it up to the fact that they were probably packed. When we were finally led into the restraint I could see a lot of empty tables so I wasn't quite sure what the hold up was all about. After we were seated we waited another 10 minutes for our waiter. This seemed to be the theme for the night. Our friends and my husband ordered the clambakes, each with a different entre. I ordered the filet since I'm not a big fan of clams. The first dish that came out was the clam chowder. It seemed like they made it right there and then because it took almost 15 minutes to bring it out. According to my friends and hubby, it was quite delicious. All the food was good except for a few things. One of our friends got the crab legs with her bake. She asked for hot melted butter, but they were all cold. So cold that they started to congeal. The biggest disappointment, however were the corn fritters. They were pure salt balls. So bad that it burned my throat. We mentioned it to our waiter and he relayed the message to the chef. When our waiter came back he said that the chef tasted them, agreed wholeheartedly and blamed it on his sous chef. We were told by our waiter to come back next week when he was sure they would be much better! Not a we are so sorry, let me take some money off your bill, or offer us something else. Lure, to us, was always the place to go for a great dinner and beyond excellent service. Not really that place anymore. If I'm going to put out that much money for food, I expect excellent food and top notch service.
