Looking for service and food other than oyster shooters? Look elsewhere! 7/22/2007

I was NOT impressed! Weve been looking for a decent seafood restaurant in the East San Fernando Valley and, after driving by this place for years, we decided to visit tonight.\r \r \r We arrived at 5PM on Sunday for Dinner and requested seating on the patio. We sat down at one of the large tables (away from the cigarette smoke) and waited and waited and waited even though the bartender saw us come in and sent us back to the patio. Finally, the barmaid, or whatever they're called now, came over and asked us for our drink order. We asked her to clean the tables which were FILTHY. You would have thought that we asked her to tear her own arm out. She was pretty rude the next couple of times she came to our table.\r \r \r Our waitress finally came over about 10 minutes after we first arrived and we were still waiting for our drinks. She took our food order and left and returned with the drinks. The three iced teas were in 12oz beer glasses completely full of ice cubes so there was just a small amount of tea. I finished it fairly quickly and asked for a refill. I was told that they were out and that they were brewing a fresh urn. Fifteen minutes later I asked how the brewing was going and she came back to tell me that they were just starting it.\r \r The food was so-so. Rare blackened ahi tuna came out virtually raw with no blackening but the spices, the steamed vegetables amounted to 5 baby carrots, 2 small broccoli florets and two quarter slices of zucchini, the garlic potatoes were just mashed potatoes with a couple of slices of garlic on top. My daughter's medium blackened ahi tuna came cooked properly but wasn't very good. My wife's chicken marsala was good as was my son-in-law's pasta checha.\r \r \r Our waitress made some snippy comment when my wife asked for more water, since the tea was never coming. So, both of the wait staff had attitude issues. I guess the regulars don't mind. I can't see any reason to ever go back. Pros: Not terribly expensive. Cons: Not worth even that. more
