Worst Fish restaurant ever visited
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

I will have to say that "The Original Fish Market" has to be the worst restaurant that I have ever visited...the unfortunate part about it is that I have to work in the building connected to where it is located...I have attempted to try to re-visit but each time is progressively worse. Upon my last visit the weather had taken a turn for the worse so I stayed in the building, being one of three place to choose (each of them ranking in the poor catagory) I chose "The Original Fish Market" what a mistake that was. I figured that choosing soup and salad I couldn't go wrong...well I was mistaken. I chose the lobster bisque, I was the worst soup I have ever tasted,it had that metalic taste like it had been left all night in the soup jar, and promtly reheated the next day to get rid of, not to mention it was ice cold. When I attempted to inform my waitress it was clear upon her delayed return that she had stepped out to have a cigarette (as she reeked upon return) leaving me fuming over the horrific liquid staring me in the face. For my next course I chose a spinach salad thinking there is no way that you could mess that up...again assuming for the best left me with the worst, not only did the items I asked to be left off come on it anyways, but there was so much dressing (I asked for on the side) drowning the spinach, it might as well have been a soup. That was it for me, I wanted the check....and again the waitress vanished like dew of the grass on a sunny morning. I waited twenty minutes before my frustration drove me to have the manager retrieve my check, a whoping $22 for garbage. If you're in the mood to be irritated and have no appetite, this is the place for you. It doesen't help either that the ambiance is that of a lions den...so if you like a nice atmoshere my recomendation is to stear clear!!!

Pros: I can't say they have one other than a liquor licence

Cons: The whole organization
