Reminded me of fish and chips I got in Iceland. Highly recommend!

In the bar area with children? We asked for high chairs as we needed them for the 3 toddlers, we were told that a certain part of the bar could not be blocked so we couldn 't have one. You all sat us here but then told us we cant have a high chair.. ok lol. We were never introduced to a server, rather, we had several servers come and assist us. Which was no big deal but it would have been nice to know who exactly our server was. Once we had just the one server assisting us, she did not tell us any specials or anything. She had an attitude with us all so I just looked at what I wanted in a rush and ordered. Every time someone asked her a question she was short and sharp. This was our first time at this restaurant and some people had questions, she clearly did not want to answer them. We ordered our food and there was absolutely no flavor in any food, like not even salt and pepper. There was four orders of the fish and chips, the only thing you could taste was the tartar sauce. I had a virgin Shirley temple and that was delicious but outside of this, everything else was very much bland. It was time to pay now as we did not order deserts. She came with the check and we asked if we could split, she said AND I QUOTE I don 't have time to do that. Not, 'the policy is if there are (x amount in the party) there is one check ', but simply she did not have time for is so to us this means she did not want to do it. Now I want to add, this is not our first time at a restaurant. Usually the server expresses in the beginning about how the bill will be handled, tells us their name and offers water etc.. she did none of this, she was the exact opposite. If the food was good, it would have made up for her rudeness but it did not. We were so excited to come here and it was nothing but a disappointment.

We enjoyed the tuna tartare, mussels, and Bibb salad. The trout and snapper are also must-tries. The top-notch service adds to the overall enjoyment.
