I
never
leave
reviews
for
restaurants.
I
prefer
to
keep
my
likes,
dislikes
and
location
histories
at
least
somewhat
private
from
Google's
all-seeing
eye.
But
alas,
I
am
writing
this,
on
a
public
forum
with
my
name
and
face
attached,
because
I
feel
it
deep
down
as
my
sacred
mission
to
express
just
how
abysmal
and
unpleasant
eating
at
this
restaurant
was.
For
a
restaurant
by
the
sea,
I
expected
quality
seafood
cooked
by
chefs
who
know
how
to
properly
prepare
it.
I
opened
the
menu
to
find
a
grilled
fish
trio
and
shrimp
cocktail
entree
for
a
cool
€20
-
again,
considering
the
location
and
clear
local
popularity,
I
thought
the
price
steep
but
most
likely
well-deserved.
What
I
was
given,
however,
should
be
considered
a
federal
crime
within
Sicily's
sea-faring
borders.
A
"fresh"
fish
trio
consisting
of
a
single
body
of
a
squid,
an
overcooked,
bland
and
unidentifiable
white
filet,
and
to
top
it
off,
that
"shrimp
cocktail"
-
which
upon
further
inspection,
and
to
my
shock
and
surprise,
turned
out
to
not
be
a
cocktail
at
all,
but
a
single,
gritty
shrimp
cooked
to
death
in
a
deeply
disturbing
affront
to
the
life
it
gave
up
for
some
poor
sucker's
dinnertime
enjoyment.
I
was
equal
parts
sad
and
nauseated.
If
only
my
partner
fared
so
well.
On
her
plate,
for
€13,
was
an
orange
slop
of
macaroni
and
fish
cubes,
drenched
in
a
sauce
I
could
(and
admittedly
have)
bought
in
liter-sized
jars
in
a
Brooklyn
Family
Dollar.
The
fish
resembled
canned
cat
food.
A
cat
would
have
been
very
happy
with
this
meal.
Oh
to
have
the
sensibilities
of
a
simple
housecat.
The
service
was
awful
too,
but
that
should
have
gone
without
saying
when
we
noticed
a
€4
cover
charge
was
included
in
the
bill.
Presumably
because
they
would
never
manage
to
earn
a
tip.
We
left
unsatisfied,
somewhat
disgusted,
and
€47
poorer.
