My girls and I went out for brunch today. We decided to go to The Fish Market in Baxter Village in Fort Mill. We originally were going to go to Famous Toastery in Tega Cay but they had a 45-minute wait. We called The Fish Market and and they had no wait. When we walked in and got sat, we were literally the only people sitting on the inside. Things started off great. The Fish Market has a beautiful ambience and I was excited to try their food. We order a mimosa carafe a because they had it on special for $20. Our server informed us that we were just waiting on a carafe to become available for our mimosa carafe. I found it strange that they would be having a special with a shortage of the carafes and it was like maybe 5 tables sitting outside. We then noticed that table beside us that got seated after us received their mimosa carafe. It was definitely ours. Our server came over and apologized, she said another server stole our carafe and gave it to their table. She offered to bring us six individual mimosas, it was three of us. She said that a carafe usually equal 6 mimosas. Now that I do the math, that would be silly because the mimosas were $3 a piece if ordered separately. That means we could order 6 mimosas ala carte and only pay $18 instead of the $20 "special." We initially agreed because we were so thirsty and had been waiting for about 10 minutes or so. Then, she brought us the drinks annnnnddd the more we thought about we were like no and we changed our minds, we wanted the carafe. When we told her that, she snatched up our mimosas from in front of us. She didn't even ask us if we wanted to keep them. I found that quite strange and quite rude because I knew they could do nothing but pour them out and again it was $3. If she would have charged me $3 for that separate mimosa, I wouldn't have even been mad. It's the principle. Make it right, make up for your shortcoming. We spoke to the manager when she brought out soup and she offered a dry apology. I also ordered French toast as an appetizer to share with my friend. It was $8. It came out and it was literally two pieces of bread cut in half. It wasn't thick like Texas toast or challa bread. The taste was okay but it was cold. At that point, I was just happy to get some food. The she crab soup was delicious and when we finally got our entrees everything was hot and very tasty. I say when we finally got our food because three other tables that sat down after us all got their food before us. So all in all, the food was good but I was very annoyed with the service. I'm not sure if I would give them another try or not. Oh yea...the carafe ended up making like 10 mimosas
