| - A lovely 105 degree day at the Marina with no AC and fans spinning vigorously without creating any air movement whatsoever inside the restaurant. Over-the-top loud music that required yelling in order to communicate with the person sitting next to you and the acoustics of it was just making it even worse. As an appetizer, we had onion rings that came with sweet chili sauce and that was pretty decent to begin with. My S/O had the club sandwich with pasta salad. Really good portion size and good flavor, not skimping on the ingredients in the sandwich or the pasta salad side. His son had the fish and chips which also looked yummy and came with a boatload of fries and coleslaw and 2 huge chunks of battered fish. Sounds great so far, doesn't it? But the actual horror that came out of that kitchen, my "salad" as the main course literally threw me off so much that I genuinely could not find it in me to recommend this place to anyone, not even if it was the last place to go and get food at the lake. $14 Ahi Tuna Tartar - 3 unseasoned box chips, level one dry coleslaw, level 2 was about 2oz. of something that seemed like semi sushi grade tuna and finally on the 3rd level/chip were few red and yellow bell pepper shreds and black sesame seeds. All of this unseasoned (I really need to put emphasis on this), not marinated or tossed in some type of sauce/soy/whatever, thrown on a plate that was schmeared with some teriyaki reduction and a pretty pink flower and called a salad for $14. Literally the audacity of the price and this establishment to claim that this is a main course salad. I've never been more hungrier or angrier at a place. I think I should've protested immediately on the spot and have the dish returned and tell them they're being ridiculous, but you know, it's rude to be rude, right. Instead I am writing his Yelp review just so I can save the next life that wants to decide and order the Ahi Tuna Tartar and get epically disappointed. I think I'll just have some beers next time around.
