| - We decided to try out this restaurant as we were close by and had few other options due to the busy time. So we wandered in and were greeted warmly and quickly. We sat down at a grimy table with plasticized menus and eventually ordered decidedly expensive lobster, scallop, and fish dinners.
We waited a long time--more than seemed reasonable for the number of customers (a sparse clientele is a warning sign!)
What arrived was drab and barely edible. For the price, we were expecting a lot more. Our lobster was rubbery and remarkably bereft of flavour. The scallops were soggy and almost inedible. The fish fillet, however, was actually quite good and elevates this review from a single to a double star alone! And, I should add, the best part of my meal was the broccoli and french fries! It's not good when a $30+ plate's best items are the sides.
For the price, I just couldn't ever see myself coming back for such mediocre food, no matter how pleasant the serving staff. Red Lobster is about on par, and 1/2 as much money. Next time, we'll drive somewhere before we submit ourselves to such bland overpriced fare.
