Review content:
Ok, I REALLY wanted to like this place. I see the reviews, my friend saw it on one of those local food shows. Yes it's pretty ""rustic"", and that can be cool, but that's when the food measures up to what we see posted here. I and the other 5 people in my party all came away wondering where the restaurant you all went to because this wasn't it last night!
When we arrived we were not greeted and no one even acknowledged us even though we were 6 people standing in the very small entry area. After getting someone's attention they asked how many in our party and then mumbled something about going back outside or around to the small bar area. We were not asked our names or told how long the wait was anything. Some our party thought the hostess was seating us by the bar and that's what she said and started walking. After one in our party went back to confirm we waited by the bar. The wait wasn't too bad, maybe 15 min so that was good. However when we arrived at our table for six it was set for five. Not a big deal, they ran to get another chair etc., but all these things should have been a clue. As you have no doubt read the place is small and noisy so if you want to have a conversation this is for sure not the place. Anyway, fast forward to the food. I ordered the Parmesan Encrusted Salmon with a cup of Clam Chowder. Now I grew up in Plymouth MA and lived on or around Cape Cod until I was 25, then Mystic CT for 4 years so I think I know seafood and what clam chowder us supposed to taste like and this isn't it! The three of us that got the chowder found it lukewarm at best. Which means it's sitting out pre-poured back in the kitchen. That's fine if it's cycled out or rotated often but this wasn't the case. Tasting it, well, we all decided it wasn't worth sending back for a warmer cup. My meal was not what I am used to getting when you think ""encrusted"" it was more like throw a slab of cheese on until it melts. The vegetables I didn't even bother to touch as they looked pretty poor. The rice was pretty good though but it's not like I was getting a risotto or something. In short all six of us had different entrees. No one liked what they got. One person even got something as simple as a cheeseburger and the waitress came out with it on the place already dressed asking what cheese they wanted. Well we know what that means! Yeah, throw the cheese on and microwave it till it melts! Another entree was this shrimp cajun style thing with these limp shrimp that should have been firm to the touch. The throw more spices and make it hot they won't know the difference seemed to be the rule of the day. We finished what we ate but were never asked if we wanted anything else and the check appeared.
Anyway, what's sad is a neighbor of mine was supposed to go but when they found out we were going here begged off saying the food was terrible. After reading these reviews, and the TV shows, we figured they went on a bad night and went along without them. We should have listened!
Pros: Give me a minute...
Cons: Poor Service, Poor Food, maybe the night?
