Service that simply couldn't correct itself.
First, I asked for a glass of tap water which they offered to me for 2.50. They said they only serve bottled, which I refused more for environmental reasons than for financial. I said I would go without a drink, no biggie.
I ordered the fish soup as an appetizer and the trout with vegetables as my main. The fish soup was mediocre at best. It tasted more akin to chicken soup with a few pieces of fish (possibly imitation fish).
When my main arrived I asked the server if this was the trout. He said that it was not, it was the salmon. I then asked if I could have the trout I originally he ordered and he told me I could not--that it would be too much of a hassle or take too long. Having had salmon for lunch, I asked again for the trout at which point he insisted on giving me a free soda. I declined the soda and said what I really want is the trout I ordered. He then said he would give me a water, I again asked for tap, and he returned with a bottle of spa water.
I proceeded to pick through the bones of the salmon steak unhappily. To the server's credit he came back to say he was sorry. I started explaining to him how as a local trying this place for the first time, I could have brought much repeat business but the fact that he simply didn't care really ruined the meal. I would have been fine waiting for my original order, but it was too inconvenient for him.
On top of it all, they charged me for the more expensive salmon than what I ordered. I'll never come back. read more
