Spanky's Clam Shack

Rating:

Comments: First, we were told that the wait time would not exceed 45 minutes, but it was an hour and a half before we were seated. A few other parties were seated in our section about 10 minutes later, while there was no sign of any waiter. Finally someone came and they went to the other parties, that had been seated after us, before coming to our table. In addition, we had our eyes on the lobster from the moment we looked at the menu while waiting outside. Certainly many people who come to restaurants like this would order lobster, and thus you would imagine the restaurant would have an ample supply. Unfortunately, this was not the case. As we were sitting at our tables they made an announcement that they HAD RUN OUT OF LOBSTER. Needless to say that this was a huge dissapointment. We were determined to still have an enjoyable dinner though. When the waitress finally came to our table I ordered the clam chowder, and it was at that point that they informed us that they had run out. Next, my girlfriend ordered the swordfish and again, they had run out for the evening. She proceeded to order something else, as did I, and we waited for our food. Over a half an hour later our food arrived, and while mine was not terrible, my girlfriend's salmon was completely raw. I am hard pressed to believe that this was only an aberration, as so many things had gone wrong. I would caution against dining at this restaurant for all the unfortunate situations we encountered while trying to eat a wonderful dinner.
