I was recommended this from a fellow HB resident. Upon walking in this place the confusion sets in. It is all community seating, meaning it's a bunch of picnic style seats that you may have to share your table with other patrons. The floor is scattered with sawdust over checkered tile. Why, other than the fact they are inviting a suit from someone slipping and falling I don't know. (My wife almost fell twice)\r
Ordering is confusing to say the least. 1 station for the bar, 1 for the oyster bar/ appetizer, 1 for entrees. All are cash only and you have to pay separate each time for each visit.\r
\r
After ordering our entrees. I ordered fried scallops 12.95, my wife ordered spaghetti 8.95 we took seats infront of the fireplace. My order came with a salad bar and I proceeded to the so-called salad bar. Iceberg lettuce, carrot sticks and ground up broccoli and cauliflower does not constitute a ""salad bar"". No tomatoes or any other veggies.\r
\r
I then proceeded to the bar to get a beer. 5minutes.... 10 minutes.... grrr I give up.\r
\r
My food was ready, but my wife?s spaghetti was not. 10 more minutes?!? Pasta only takes 10 minutes to boil!\r
My fried scallops tasted like refried frozen moldy bread clumps. I think I have better quality from a frozen dinner from Albertsons. After attempting to eat a second scallop I decide that since my wife?s meal was not even ready yet that we should go ask for our money back and leave. After some degree of difficulty we were refunded our money and went next door to Don Jose's Mexican restaurant. Then we discovered we were short 4 dollars on our ""refund"". We were not provided a receipt so we have no recourse.\r
\r
Prices were not as expected, for the same price id rather go to Kings or Market Broiler for the same price and have someone bring it to my table.\r
\r
The fireplace and beer hall atmosphere are a plus and the place was packed, but I don't get it and nor will I return to find out!
Pros: Fish tank
Cons: food/service
