We were really looking forward to our meal in spa seafoods which turned out so disappointing, we had a starter which was very nice however having both ordered black sole at e30 each everything took a nose dive, it was the smallest portion of fish...I've ever seen served in any restaurant, to the point my husband needed more food when we left.
Initially we weren't going to say anything but given the price we thought they should at least know this was not a satisfying meal, the manager then proceeded to tell us. The chef agreed the sole was small so they'd only charge e27 each, this was a further disappointment,our issue wasn't the price but the portion size so we offered to pay the full price lest they be down e6, then the manager returned with a half carafe of wine and gave us a bottle top, this completely baffled us as firstly we had a bottle of wine with our meal and secondly I can only imagine she thought we were that desperate that we were going to pour the carafe into our bottle and I Guess use the bottle lid to take our prize away with us! we duly left their token behind us.
It had been a while since we had eaten at Spa seafoods and boy have things gone downhill, firstly in the past the manager Siobhan had her finger on the pulse and I believe would have managed the situation more effectively, shame overall as we simply love fish so my advice is prepare to have something else to eat before or after you visit this restaurant or stick with the Oyster Tavern across the road which has for many years consistently served good wholesome food without scrimping, cutting corners or trying to embarrassingly compensate for overpriced undersized portionsMore
