Review content:
I vacationed on the coast last week for Spring Break with my mother, who has cancer. When we swung through Rockport, we made sure to check-out this restaurant which was located right on the water in this mock-New England town, but we were sorely disappointed. My mother and I had the flounder, and my boyfriend has the, supposedly, ""gigantic shrimp"" that were not, in fact, very gigantic (they butterflied them in this impossible fashion to made them look larger). The food was okay, but it didn't taste as fresh, and the vegetables were overdone and drenched in greasy butter-flavored sauce. Unfortunately, the food did not sit well with my mother, and when she attempted to leave the restaurant (feeling like she was going to be sick), she was held back because the owners thought she was trying to leave without paying. Then, when she finally made it outside, then excitement made her get sick outside of their door. When I went outside to check on her, I was greeted with dirty looks, and they thought I was trying to leave without paying (I guess we came off differently than the wealthy, elderly locals). I apologized for the situation, but they didn't say anything to us. We were delivered our check before we were done with our food (not that we wanted to finish it), and I only tipped because our waitress, who was not from the area, was very nice and attentive about our service. Including tip, I paid $95 for an onion ring starter, two flounders, and one order of bad shrimp. An hour after we left, my boyfriend and I became sick from the food we ate. One week later, I got a call from my bank because the restaurant was trying to put-through an additional $50 charge with my credit card information for a ""fee"". I rejected the charge, and I've heard nothing from the establishment. I will never eat here again.
Pros: Attractive location
Cons: Everything else
