It wasn't terrible, and it was reasonably priced. But the bad taste of my initial wait and lack of service was left before the decent taste of food could change my disappointment. I pushed it all off and the fish was very good. And I have never and would never expect to find tomato sauce on salmon. I ordered the salmon and it came out with tomato sauce all over the top. We go no waitress for some time until we said something, to which they sent me a lovely waitress. NOW I'm So I go out there and she got a little scared and sat us. We sit a little longer now I'm getting a little So we sit I saw 3 tables leave and two more groups seated. So I went up to the girl and said, should I have put in my name? And she looked at me and said areyou the party of 6? I said no the party of two you told to sit in the lounge and you've seated 3 groups ahead of us. There was a "little wait" for the deck I was told so we sat in lounge (and yes.those two steps are a killer) so we sat there for a while.having a lovely conversation when I noticed at least 3 groups of people being seated, that were not there before us. We went there last night and I have to say that I was pretty disappointed. And MAD Fish, maybe could have been a better word to pair up.but good name or not.I want good seafood! The only comment I have about the place is.it looks like they stole the Naked Fish logo. Well we are a summer town, all ways will be always have been. Get a good cook and all I have to say is.They will come! You've got a captive audience. People are chomping at the bit for a good place to eat on the water, could be goldmine in the waiting! When I went in it had only been open for 3 days. Service was OK and they have got to do some rennovations.that entrance into the lounge or the patio is like a broadway entrance! -) We had apps and a glass of wine at Mad Fish, and it was pretty good. Their new cook is really good though, so I am keeping an open mind on the bwaye. They are so uinconsistent and the Nautical was absolutely terrible. Well let me tell you being a neighbor of Humrock I keep hoping to have some other place to go than the Bridgwaye.
