Unhappy Soley Seafood

How can a restaurant that is attached to Lips (which is fantastic by the way) be so dire? The service was shocking, the wait was neither explained or apologised for and was we got as food was laughable.
Will return and try again in the future, maybe they were having a bad night. It was quite busy...

Hmmm. I wonder if this review is about "Only Seafood". If it is, I kind of agree with the review by Mrs Brown. The place was full, and shortly after we got our outside table, it started to rain and many customers had to move inside. We were under a big umbrella and unaffacted by the rain. So, service suffered from that and the fact that the waiter was about as inexperienced as a bus boy -- he was friendlt but could not answer ANY questions about the food on the menu.

With respect to food, both my wife and I were very disappointed. I ordered a fish that came with a salad on the same plate, but the salad sauce was made with what seemed to be cheap white vinegar that it interfered with the fish. My wife and I both felt that they had good, fresh ingredients but just didn't know how to combine them into a great meal. I cannot recomend this place.
