Mike Walinskas Review of Fishermans Inn

This review is for the bar area. Tried it for happy hour on a recent weekday. At 5 pm nearly all the tables were occupied, and by 6 the place was packed. We had great service, but the food unfortunately was a let down. We tried fish tacos, nachos with pulled prime rib (sounds great, right?), and mussels. All three dishes were mediocre at best. The Mahi fish tacos were served on the most flavorless cold flour tortilla I've ever tasted -- Wonder Bread in tortilla form. The fish might have been good but I'll never know because the pickled red onions and aoli were 90 percent of the serving. The nachos were doomed by bland chips, a miniscule toss of cheddar and bottled red salsa on the side. The mussels were tiny and one bad mussel in the batch tainted the broth with the smell of "dead mussel." this can happen in the finest restaurants, but when you're 0 for 3 I'm less forgiving and lean towards guessing the kitchen might be going through the motions. Anyhow, this was my only visit, I won't be back, but the place surely doesn't need my business as it is always packed and seems to have a loyal happy clientele.
