The Fresh Ketch

We have been coming to Fresh Ketch for over 4 years.  Vacationing in South Lake Tahoe we look forward to coming here for the first night of our vacation. Well we were so disappointed that they have a new owner an a new WAY MORE EXPENSIVE menu! I always get a Rum Runner drink, well you can't order that anymore.  The bartender told me the past owner had the rights to the ingredients an he couldn't make it anymore?  That sounded so stupid! There new featured frozen drink "can't remember the name" is horrible, so I sent it back.  Then we ordered the coconut shrimp for a appetizer, got 8 you can tell frozen shrimp for $15, bad we didn't even eat them all.  Then the Fish Taco's that we loved an dreamed about for a whole year were dry and flavorless, rice tasteless for $15, such a rip off. For 2 people the dinner was over $60 an it was BAD!  Service was so slow too!
GOOD BYE FRESH KETCH..................so sad!

Tonight when we arrived we walked into the patio area. When we got there, there was no hostess at the hostess stand, so we decided to seat ourselves because there was no sign directing us what to do.  Once we sat down the hostess walked by and under her breath said, "oh why don't you go ahead and seat yourselves."  

   Then the waitress showed up and of course we were hoping that the experience would get better but it didn't. It started out okay but the waitresss only brought us three cups of chowder instead of the four we ordered.   After waiting for her to show up for five minutes, I finally had to ask the busboy to bring us a cup.

   Once the waitress did show up I asked her if she would bring me some Tabasco sauce.   I got a bucket with every condiment  in the world except Tabasco sauce.  So of course... I had to get up from my dinner with my family and get it myself.

    Then the food showed up and I thought well this should make up for everything else.   The fish and chips that my two girls shared were amazing... they looked and tasted great.   However the Ruben sandwich that my wife and I shared was a joke.  It had two pieces of meat in it which were both burned and dry (clearly the days leftovers).  There was almost no sauerkraut on the sandwich.  Additionally, one side had a ton of thousand island while the other had none.

   All of that for the great price of $80.00.

   Oh....this review was went directly to the restaurant and they never responded!!  Glad they care......

Be careful to check your credit card charges after dinning at this establishment.  My card was charged twice for one check.  Food had to be sent back to be cooked properly and service average. This is a tourist establishment that appears to have absent management.  Called twice to get the charge corrected and I am still not sure the second charge has been corrected.
