Two If By Sea

We went for breakfast based on the reviews on Yelp and  Urban Spoon.  The food was good, my wife had a great omelette and I went with eggs, bacon & French toast. That being said, when we first sat down, we noticed some sandwiches being prepped for a catering event; we ordered and then observed the one waitress making a few more sandwiches while it wasn't that busy....not wearing any gloves while cutting open the rolls. It then started to get very busy, fortunately we had already gotten our food, but continued to observe a fly sit upon the uncovered tray of sandwiches, ham and chicken salad. Nice. Pretty glad it wasn't my party they were catering. Also, the stuff should have at LEAST been covered (the covers were right beside the trays of food) and also refrigerated as they were very busy when we left and I m sure sat for a few hours.  Yikes.

Four of us had dinner on August 30th. The service was friendly and efficient. Three of us had the rockfish with butter crab sauce. It was very good. The roasted potatoes were very tasty and the broccoli was not overlooked. The stacked meatloaf dish was a hit with the meat lover in the group. We would definitely go back again. However, they do not have a liquor license and the night we were there they did not allow you to bring your own as had been ok in the past.

Chose this place based on the Yelp reviews. There is a very limited number of places to eat on the island and we just wanted a small bite. This looked fairly safe.

Service seemed like it would be good because we walked in as waitress was walking out and I opened the door for her so she could deliver plates to a party outside. We looked inside and at the menu and decided to sit outside. Waited. Waited. No one came to take our order. Went back in and ordered with the first person there. Waitress must have been busy. No worries. He apologized. Food ordered and waters came out. Food came out few minutes later. Asked for tartar sauce, and ketchup (fish and chips so wouldn't you bring that anyway?) Didn't ask for vinegar. He apologized for the lack of service.

We shared the plate between the two of us. Waiter and waitress didn't come to check on us or the other table outside. Did poke her head out to give a treat to a visiting dog in a car and ran back in.

Rockfish was good. Fries were good. Coleslaw was good. Tartar sauce was good.

Decided to get my check so I went back in and settled up. Noticed a split fee of $3 on my check. That's 28 percent of the cost of my fish and chips! Not sure if they levied sales tax on that as well. Suspect that has other ramifications for them.

Be aware of this revenue generation tactic. To be fair this is listed on their menu at the bottom in 6 point font so I was warned- if I had read the entire menu then it would have been cool. I didn't and you probably won't either. So if you are going to split an entree evaluate the consequences as they want you to eat more, waste more, and get fat or pay up.

It is not clear if you share your meal with a child if you would be charged this fee.

Summary: Would not go again.
