I have fond childhood memories spending Summers with my father in Kismet. This was the spot. Great fresh food and bustling with party goers drinking the summer away. Well the place hasn't changed as far as the bustling crowd in fact the crowds are now three times the size and the nightlife is great with the addition of new surrounding restaurants and quality live music. Unfortunately the food has went horribly downhill. They brought my son a hot dog the bread had a patch of green mold the size of Bic lighter. , I don't know how it is possible this was passed from kitchen to server without being noticed. The waitress looked as if she was going to throw up when we brought it to her attention. I ordered the broiled seafood platter which came with some decent broiled clams some very tasty baby scallops and a nice filet of completely rotten soul that smelled of ammonia. When I was served I squeeze fresh lemon over the filet, then as I raised the first bite of fish to my mouth I noticed a funny smell. I smelled the small piece of fish at the tip of the fork and the smell of ammonia overpowered the fresh lemon enough to slightly burn my nose. It's a terrible shame looks if I find myself in this establishment the bar will be where my visit ends. I did not want to make a fuss so I politely inform the waitress of the situation declining a replacement. The waitress told me that she wanted to smell the fish it was obvious she did not believe me. That's the second time I saw a look of disgust wash over her face. She apologized I told her if my childhood experience that I was sorley disappointed. She boldly exclaimed that the place is not what it used to be and made another ick face.
