"Worst Experience Ever! It was a Friday night and we were going to be celebrating wife’s 50th B day wanted it to be Special. Even noted it on my OpenTable reservation, which was pretty much the ONLY good experience. Started off bad when we walked in the door and went downhill from there. Showed up 4 minutes early and had to wait 10 minutes (with no one in front of us to even SEE a hostess....maybe she was pinching a loaf? Then were asked to wait another 10 minutes to be seated...and there were TONS of empty tables. Problem was not enough staff, only 2 waiters serving the entire upstairs. Ordered drinks as soon as we sat down...tough week at work and I was ready to have 3 STIFF cocktails. About 10 mins later she came back and took our appetizer order and our food order. Got our appetizers and things continued to head downhill. Oysters looked to be about 3 months old (tiny , fried calamari was soggy and daughter refused to eat them. As we started on the appetizers we realized we didn’t have plates...and still didn’t have our drink order...not even water. Asked for and finally got water just as the appetizers were about finished (except for the fried calamari! . Then got the food...but STILL DIDNT HAVE OUR DRINK ORDER. Are you kidding me! Nope. We considered canceling our drink order but couldn’t find our waitress... drinks finally came as we were about 1/2 done with our main course and they were awful. Worst Old Fashioned I’ve ever had and the girls Shirley Temples were disgusting. How do you F@ up a Shirley Temple. To top it all off my father in law got food poisioning from the fish and spent the whole night driving the porcelain bus. Got the bill and paid a ridiculous 300 for 5 people with 3 adult beverages...2 of which were beer. So much for those 3 STIFF cocktails... then again I did get the SHAFT! Shame, shame, shame. How this place stays in business is beyond me...then again this is California... everyone gets a F@ ! medal!"
