| - This is a pretty crazy looking restaurant / bar, with just about every type of seafaring, pirate related and nautical bit of memorabilia you can imagine emblazoned around the entire place. It looks very much like a normal pier house from the outside, but once you step inside you feel like you're on a Disney ride. Don't get me wrong, I love this kind of stuff, but someone needs to learn about moderation because it's gotten a bit out of hand here.
We stopped in for something in between lunch and dinner, around 4 or 4:30, and we had to eat out on the front patio because apparently the back deck wasn't ready until 5, even though we could clearly see people sitting there. Whatever. It was a surprisingly nice day, so we were happy just to be out in the warm weather, as it had pretty much sucked up until that day. Our waitress was deplorably slow to take our orders and give us our bill, but we eventually got some food somewhere in between.
All 3 of us ended up order their version of a French Dip, which turned out to be ok, and included a side of fries that were actually quite good, but the portion was so small you had finished them before you even realized they were on the plate. They also give you pretty much no au jus to go with the sandwich, one of my biggest foodie pet peeves of all time. By the time you finally get some extra from the kitchen your second sandwich half is nearly cold, which is why it aggravates me so damn much. The seafood here is probably decent being right by the harbor, and I saw several signs advertising a hell of a lobster dinner deal. The regular sandwich menu is a bit pricey, and there is a minimum dollar amount each person at the table has to spend, so don't think about sharing their pizzas either.
