"It was quite honestly the worst experience we’d ever had in a restaurant. We had never been here before and bought a Groupon to try. Being a surf shack, we were excited about the lobster rolls and fun types of sushi on the menu. Before we had even sat down, we were informed there was no lobster at all that day and no sushi either.. So, fine we would find something else. We asked if there was an open bar and the answer was yes. But they were “out” of wine, had no citron vodka or ginger beer and when we ordered bourbon on the rocks, it was delivered in shot glasses with ice chips that were mostly melted. However the Sangria I ordered after had no ice at all. t was just so strange. We ordered shrimp cocktail that were served almost warm. Not even a little bit chilled but instead seemed like they had just been cooked. The salmon salad I ordered was good enough but served without dressing and when I asked for it it took maybe 10 minutes to get it, even though there were only two other tables in the whole restaurant. My fiancé ordered fries with his meal and didn’t get them either. He also ordered the lamb lollipops for his dinner and asked for medium rare and they were well done but seasoned really well so that made up for it. After we got the check, I noticed there was an additional salmon charge added to my salad that was already priced for salmon being on it. That had to be fixed as well. I worked in restaurants for almost 20 years and am very understanding to what happens in establishments that are working against forces out of their control this was entirely inexcusable. Horrible experience on just about level and needless to say we would never dream of going back."
