Flynn's

Came here to stay a few days with kids in tow. Not the most kid friendly place nonetheless I had a connect for the Dockmaster so figured give it a shot.

So went to sit down for dinner an while walking in almost got knocked over by a bunch of drunk girls but kind of expected.

Ordered a few kids meals - can't really screw that up. Lobster bisque was completely gross. They should be ashamed to serve it, I wouldn't give it to a homeless person. And when I sent it back and told them it was awful they did not take it off the check. I didn't really care much - but I happen to own a restaurant and if a complaint came back along with a full bowl of soup I would have certainly taken it off the bill.

I then had a wedge salad. It was just as promised. Couldn't really screw that up unless the product was bad. Truthfully it was fresh, crisp, and delicious. I devoured it.

Overall it could have been worse. Lets see what tomorrow brings!

Hi,

So this was my third time at Flynn's.  The first two times I went there i was a happy camper, enjoyed the music and had a grand old time.  

This last time I would say I was happy with the entertainment, music was very good and I enjoyed the crowd.  My complaint lies solely on the staff. I attended Flynn's between 4-8 pm on Saturday August 17th.  

1. The MC announced a drink special.  $5 dollar Malibu drinks.  Ofcourse when i went to the bartenders, none of them had even heard about it.  A random stranger standing next to me heard the special as well.  a male bartender in the outside bar was very nasty to me saying that he had no idea what i was talking about and quickly walked away from me with a nasty look on his face.  Really?? I then went inside and asked a female bartender, she also had no idea but was a little nicer, but still was no help.  Finally i went back outside to ask another male bartender (with glasses on) who did not know, but was willing to go and ask his boss even offered the other specials he knew of.  He came back telling me that there was no such deal.  I did not understand how an MC could announce a drink special that nobody on staff knew about.

2. Because i was the designated driver from the ferry i switched to water early on.  I asked for this water at the inside bar and a female bartender hands me a cup that had been sitting out for a while because it felt like it was at room temperature with no ice.  I know water is free and all, but common, i used to work at a restaurant. you dont serve water like that. You especially dont let a customer see you pick up a cup thats been sitting out.  I assure you, it wasnt because she was busy. The inside bar was manageable.

3. While waiting on the bathroom line I felt my body being shoved by someone.  Sure enough it turned out to be the same female bartender that tried to serve me the shitty water. "I say, excuse me no need to push" and her response was "I WORK HERE".  Oh really? so being a bartender excuses you from common courtesy? UM, i dont think so. Keep in mind i was sober when this happened.

I also would like to point out that i came with a crew of six people who spent a lot of money at your bar. Next time well be going elsewhere.

To sum this up, i truly believe that the staff automatically thought i was drunk and that they could treat their customers like crap.  That's not something I stand for as I worked in a restaurant for three years of my life.  Needless to say, i will not be going to Flynn's again and will be telling all of my friends about this experience.

Thanks

Went to Flynn's for their all you can eat Seafood Buffet..We took the Ferry from the Captree Boat Basin.  Even though they said they board at 6:30pm don't believe it.  We were there with other diners on time and had to wait in the rain because the crew didn't have a cash box to take our money..Off to a wet start..Once at Flynn's we were ushered to our table..Our waitress grabbed 2 plates of salad that were sitting on a tray stand and put them on our table.  Would have been nice to be able to go up to the buffet and get some cold salad..The salads were obviously made way in advance of our arrival and left in the dining room since the salad was warm. The actual buffet was located as far away from the dining room as possible..My guess is this is to deter or slow down the number of visits one makes...So if you have any mobility issues this is of concern...All the food appears to have been made prior to our boat arrival....Everything was luke warm..The baked clams (in my opinion) were WAY to over seasoned with thyme and oregano..I asked the cook if he had tasted them he said no...My suggestion was he should try one... All the food is rationed out by the cooks..You are only allowed 1/2 of a 1lb lobster at a time, the lobsters appeared to have been sitting a while.The picture in the ad shows whole lobsters, it should show half lobsters.  The imitation butter was congealed in plastic cups since the were not under the heat lamp,,1/2 of a 1lb lobster is not much.The long walk from the distant buffet is not worth the 2 min to eat that overcooked half a lobster and then walk back and repeat over and over...When asked why you can't have another half of lobster I was told the have to make sure every on gets some....WHAT ?  Its an all you can eat buffet..Surely they must expect people to eat at least 1 or 2  one pound lobsters..The prime rib was a bit fatty and luke warm..It was also rationed by the cooks...No more than 2 pieces god forbid..The peel and eat shrimp was good along with the corn..But didn't spend 28 dollars and a 2 hour boat ride for corn and peel and eat shrimp..There were mussels in some kind of dressing...I didn't try them based on info from someone on line in front of me...Dessert was..well disappointing.a slice of. Ice cream roll with syrup and some cookies..If you really want to try this here is my suggestion.....1) Go there and when you get there go out of your way a truly inspect the buffet CLOSELY and ask questions on portions...If you don't want the buffet there is a regular menu available.. They don't tell you this ..I found out later..Had i known this i would have gone for the dinner menu.. Bon Appetite
