    A food lover from Federal Way, WA tried it.

Next on the "for lease" list

We’ve given McGrath’s two chances…right when they first opened, and then again last night. First time the food was over-cooked, bland, and the service was lackluster. Figured it was possibly due to the fact that it was new and it would take a little while to get it together.

So we went back last night, Sep. 6, 2008. Nothing has changed. Salad and bread were the only half-way decent things. I had crabcakes, which are obviously frozen and microwaved. Wife had steamed clams, which were tiny and pathetic. Son had the ribs, and they were dry and chewy.

Such a shame! I had very high hopes for this place and hoped it would be an upgrade to Brand X across the street. Now Federal Way has been blessed with two lousy seafood restaurants. I predict that very soon, unless some serious changes are made, McGrath’s will be the next new place to have a “for lease” banner stretched across it, just like that unfortunately awful place just up the street.

It’s too bad that these restaurants never seem to get it! I think they need Gordon Ramsay to come out and maybe educate them a bit.

Crab cakes, clams, ribs

Gross. Unidentifiable vegatables, cold, puny, frozen, microwaved crap!

I Would Rather Go Hungry.....

First of all, our salad dressing was so watered down it had no flavor; just wet lettuce. My husband’s Trout was full of bones. I asked for my steak well done and it was literally raw; cold and bloody. I sent it back to the kitchen and it came in less than 3 minutes; rare to the raw side. The server did not even have me cut the steak to see if it was OK. She came back to refill my husband’s tea and didn’t even ask about my steak; which was still sitting on my plate untouched.

The vegetables were not cooked; barely warm.

Upon leaving, she asked if I wanted to take my steak home (I guess she figured I could finish cooking it there!) I told her no, that we were totally dissatisfied with everything. She said she would get the Manager. He never bothered to come over and talk to us. He just had her take off the price of the bone-in fish and raw steak, yet ,charged us for the salad and tea. I was in shock!

If they had been apologetic and handled it properly, we MAY have given the restaurant another chance. Needless to say, WE WON’T BE BACK!

P.S. When I tried to write a review on McGrath’s own website, it wouldn’t even accept it! Why am I not surprised!
