Venture down Piney Point road and you'll find that the old Evans seafood restaurant has now been replaced by a brand new building and new owners. While the name is the same, this is not owned by the Evans family that had the previous establishment.
Being in the mood for seafood I convinced my wife and our good friends to give it a try and boy were we disappointed. We were seated promptly and our server informed us about the special and took our drink orders right away. So far, so good and we all expected a good visit. Things went down hill from there.
We ordered appetizers of cream of crab soup which was marginally good, but not really good and certainly not as good as the Captain’s table. The crab dip was probably just a little better than okay. For our meals my wife and I both ordered the rockfish platter and our friends had fried shrimp basket and steak. The restaurant was nearly empty, but it still took us more than 30 minutes to receive our food and once we did...it was awful. The fish was fried to a crisp, chewy and tasted bad. Our friend ordered her steak to be cooked medium and it came out well done X 2 at least. The fried shrimp seemed to be okay for our other friend.
Now the bill comes and we put out our cards to spit it 50/50. Remember, the place is just about empty, but it still took her 15 minutes to return so we could sign the credit card receipts. Oh, and when she does return, she brought out two to-go boxes full of fish and fries. When we looked at her a little strange she said that the “chef” had mistakenly made us flounder instead of rockfish and this was our rockfish to take home. WHAT? Normally, I would have complained to the manager on duty, but decided to wait and call the owner the next morning. However, before calling I decided to check our bank account to ensure we were debited the correct amount. Guess what...they had charged us twice. Called my buddy thinking maybe they charged us twice and did not charge them at all, but nope, they charged us twice and them once.
Talked to the owner and of course he was livid with what I told him. He fixed the debit card charges later that day and pretty much begged us to come back and try it again...which we wont’ do.
Very disappointed and I hope this helps someone avoid a bad experience of their own.

Who owns it now? Does anyone know?

Chuck and Julie Kimball

Uh oh.....hubby's Christmas party is at this place on Thurs.

My wife and I went a few weeks back and won't go back!!!!!!

I would have expected that quality of food from a place that charged 1/4 of the price we paid. :geek:

Chuck's a nice guy - I'll give his restaurant a try :yay:

we had the same experience as bulldog minus the being charged twice but it was pricey

Went there last week. It is a shame they have the Evans name associated with the new place. It is not the "Evans" we all know. Very dissapointed with it. Hush puppies, dry, cream of crab was disgusting. I have to agree The Captains Table might not look like much, but they have the best cream of crab soup.

I will not go again and do not reccommend them to anyone.

Well this should be interesting :lmao:

Millertc's hubby here:
Great. My company's Christmas Party is there on Thursday and the annual free meal I get from them will suck this year because my Program Manager has no palate (because he loves the place). :cds:

:yeahthat: Our food was good but the service was increadibly slow and it took three tries to get unsweetened ice tea

Did you have a choice with what you could get or is it buffett? Maybe they will have something special for the party:whistle:

They gave us a choice. Hope I chose wisely.

Their crabcakes are great :yay:

We were there a couple of weeks ago with my parents, service was great and our dinners were delicious!. :shrug:

I guess they win some and lose some.

It amuses me when people complain about some place when they were actually righted on the wrongs they encountered.
You got free fish because you were given the wrong meal.
The manager corrected your debits and it can easily be assumed that this, as well as some other issues, were because of new hires.
The thing that leads me to know you are one of "those" people who can always complain about a restaurant is this:

I think that most people "normally" don't run into problems enough to say that they would "normally" complain. :coffee:

Good, that's what I picked for the luncheon.

:lol: Going out to dinner shouldn't involve getting wrongs righted..You go out to enjoy, if the food/service/drinks are bad, it doesn't matter what the staff does at that point. If I complain, I don't care if they comp the whole meal, it still ruined my night out.

Nobody's perfect :shrug:
If they do their best to correct their errors then it gets them some points back in my book.
I can't see how ANYTHING could be so bad that it would "ruin your night out"...and I've had some bad experiences :lol:

Leftover fish sux and it certainly was not "free fish", it was the fish I paid for. If they wanted to right the wrong they should have taken it off my bill and called it a day.

Yep, he corrected my debit...after I called about it. Wonder what would have happened if I had not called? His new hires should not be my problem and should be properly trained before being allowed to take care of customers on their own.

Well, you've got me on the ropes there...I'll be sure to select my words more carefully next time. I should have said "IF" I have a problem, I "always" bring it to the managers attention. If they don't know what is broken, they can't fix it. On the other side of this coin, "IF" I have a very good experience, I also "always" make a point of telling my server as much and I bring that to the managers attention so that he can be aware of where exceptional sevice is being provided by his employees. :coffee:

Just read all the posts. My husband took me there for my birthday in Nov. and it was great. We will definitely go back. Food was tasty, service was friendly and sunset was stunning.

Ok. We went for hubby's Christmas party today. I got the crab cake dinner. I thought they were good. Full of meat and light on the breading. We were pleased. The other co-workers seemed to be happy with their meals as well. Very friendly staff. Pretty view (even with the rain). We would go back there again.

See? It just goes to show that you can't take every complaint on the internet seriously.

True, but it was not just me who complained. Several more on this site had similar experiences so just maybe there is something to it.
I honestly hope that the new owners enjoy a huge amount of success and maybe there are "growing pain" issues and they are/will get their act together. Currently their food/service is inconsistent...at best.

:yeahthat: Everything was good except the cream of crab soup which was pretty bland. Service was pretty good. I'd def go back.
