We just came back after lunch at The Godfather restaurant. It was six of us there. Weve been patronizing this establishment for many years, and were happy with it overall. As we walked in today, weve noticed a very unpleasant smell. Some of us felt that it was cleaning supply residue smell while others felt that it was the smell of bad seafood. We ordered six different dishes, and I wanted to order something that I havent tried there before, which was red snapper/scallops combo with zucchini/mushrooms in brandy sauce. The service was slow, and we had to request the waitress to finally bring us the bread basket, to which she admonishingly replied that they only had one butler today. Once the food was brought in, I started with the vegetables first, followed by one snapper fillet. It was fine. Then I moved on to scallops. The first one had an awful off-taste. I put this scallop on the bread plate, and tried the second scallop that tasted just as bad. While I was looking for a waitress, I tried the next piece of snapper from another filet, and that fish also had a terrible off taste. When a waitress was finally summoned to our table by the butler, her immediate response was that since I ate most of the food, the restaurant would only reduce the price by a fraction. She took the plate back to the kitchen, and came back a few minutes later repeating the same story that I shouldve returned the whole plate if I didnt like it, therefore the manager would only agree to reduce the price of the dish. When I mentioned again that I only started to eat scallops and the second part of the fish after the top piece was eaten, she wouldnt budge and repeated her reasoning, mentioning that the seafood just arrived today, and both fillets came from the same fish. Not sure if that is true, but the scallops were sitting on top of the second fillet, and that mightve given it smelly off taste. I am very surprised at the attitude of the waitress blaming a customer for not eating the food in the right order in order to identify bad pieces. The price reduction was also very insulting. They reduced the price from $25 to $17. Not sure how they are able to measure that I ate about 66% worth of food. With such math skills the waitress should work in the insurance world.

Had dinner last night (7/7/16) with a party of nine. The food is tasty and moderately priced (could be cheaper) and our waitress, Christina was the best. I would have given four stars except for one thing. A person in our party was celebrating a birthday. We brought a cake. We were then informed that there would be a $1.50 plate charge per person. This was kind of insulting since our tab (with the tip) was a little under $500.00. We were the only ones left in the restaurant. So it wasnt like it was crowded. I will return, but wont be celebrating any birthdays in this place. Everybody had cappuccinos. Thats $4.00 X 9 = $36.00. Next time there will be no desert or cappuccinos. This was kind of a slap in the face and (in my opinion) bad business.
