| - This review is based on one lunch service. I typically wait until more than one experience before writing a review, but honestly I am pretty convinced I won't be back. Unless it's an invite where the other party insists, because I won't be spending my $$ here.
The reason there are 3 stars instead of 2, SERVICE. I can not blame the friendly hostess nor the attentive server for the lack in flavor. So by all means, credit is due in the hospitality department.
I was in during a busy work week lunch hour. I was very happy to be seated at a booth instead of a table, even though I was dining alone.
I ordered the fish tacos with dirty rice instead of fries. (small upcharge)
I also started with a cup of clam chowder. The soup was decent. FULL of clams, like almost overwhelming. However it would have really hit the spot had the consistency been a bit thicker.
Still ate it all, so I approve.
Now the tacos, probably the worst fish tacos I have ever had. Not what I expect from a place known as the "seafood house" Double tortillas as usual, but they were soggy. Like soggy and stuck together from either sitting under a heat lamp or even being re-heated. Same thing with the fish inside. You could tell at one point in time, it was a crispy filet. Now it was just moist and not appetizing at all. But where was the moisture coming from? I didn't seem to have this sauce that I read about in other reviews. Just cabbage, and a very very small side of avocado. I ate the avocado alone, it tasted better that way. I tried to eat only the fish out of the taco, but I couldn't do it. Flat out gross.
To top it off, the dirty rice was at least 2-3 days old. Mushy like it had been in a rice cooker overnight. The flavor would have been ok had it been fresh. I could have put all the rice in a big ball and it would have stuck together easily. The 16 year old me would have thrown it back in the kitchen, but it just sadly sat on the plate. Untouched.
Last time I waste a dub on a nasty, sit down, not fresh, seafood lunch, that is FOR SURE!
