Uses to be our favorite restaurant in Seaside for many years on our getaway trips. Was really disappointed with omitted sides and overall quality of food. Apparently new coke or changes in recipes that rendered a less than flavorful meal.
While we all recognize the...difficulty of a business surviving the pandemic, lack of attention to food quality could accelerate one's decline vs build business back up.
The fish and chips was below average with a heavy batter. The pan fried oysters weren't fully cooked and the cole slaw was pureed too fine in a good processor, almost like a pourage/soup.
Also another customer was seated adjacent to us that coughed incessantly with no mask and destroyed our overall experience raising significant health concerns. This resulted in us leaving prior to completing our meal. While we appreciate the relaxed COVID experience now that mandates are lifted the staff needa to be more attentive to where folks are seated especially with a nearly empty restaurant.
Lastly, the prices were inordinately higher than posted on the websites and not warranted for lower food quality.
Staff was average in serving, but mostly inattentive without being flagged down.
I'm not sure if it's just hard to get good caring employees, or owners no longer have any regard for customer experience quality in this post CV environment?
Doubtful, we'll return at these prices and quality of food/ service and wouldn't recommend it to friends nor family.More
