I need to be a restaurant critic!

Friday night we were having a difficult time deciding where we would go for our Friday fish. Should we try a new place or an old one? Since it was foggy out we decided to stay closer to town and retry a place we had visited when it first opened about 15 months ago. The parking lot was fairly full so we thought we were in for a good meal, The first time we were there we were not very impressed with the food but we thought we them just opening up they might have a few kinks to work out. Well we walked in and we seated immediately, in the back of the dining room by the exit door. Not impressed especially since there were plenty of tables free in the main dining room. We walked passed the buffet table on our long walk to our table and decided we would both get the buffet. There was a salad bar to start and this was pretty good, there were two types of soup so I decided to try one, the cream of potato not impressed. It tasted like a dirty potato. Absolutely no seasoning. Had two spoonfuls and that was enough. Then we set our sites on the main course. I had the crab legs, chicken, baked fish, deeped fried fish, deep fried shrimp, peel and eat shrimp, meatballs, fried clams and I think that was about it. You would think with that many options we would find one think that was good. Afraid not! It was all terrible! Absolutely no seasoning on anything. The crab legs were even bad. If I didn't soak them in butter they would have been left. The crab legs were either over boiled or old. They did not come out of the shell. I had to scrap and pull the meat out of the opened shell. Not Good! John was not any happier with his choices. The meatballs tasted like dogfood. Actually they tasted like they were boiled in water instead of panfried or baked. Again no seasoning what so ever. The only thing that was tolerable the chicken, but if the chicken isn't raw it's tolerable. Our bill was over $40 with one beer and glass of wine. I can truthfully say we will NEVER return to this restaurant again. Alas, they will never realize how bad their food is.
