If it were possible to give this place and event no stars I would. My family and I went to the Shipwreck Tavern to celebrate the New Year’s eve family dinner. We arrived at approximately 6:05 PM where we were led to our table that had our name on a card. On the tables were happy new year paraphernalia and balloons floating in the ceiling. We sat at our table until approximately 6:53 PM before a waiter finally came over to take order. By this time I was fuming mainly because the waiter who serve the food pass by our table several times and finally noticing that we were not served or greeted which customarily happens within the first few minutes of being seated in every restaurant that you go to. He seemed shocked and said OK I’ll take your order now. We graciously invited him to finish what he was doing as he was in the middle of picking up other customers appetizer plates. After placing our entire dinner order, from appetizer to desert, we waited approximately 15 minutes before we actually received our appetizers. We placed our entire order because we had a proximately one hour to eat before the time was up. We verified with the waiter that the event ended at 8 o’clock to which he promptly responded yes. Clearly, there was no consideration of the fact that we waited almost a full hour before we were even greeted by a waiter to take our order. The food at best could be described as bland. Our daughter clearly enjoyed her chicken fingers and fries. I ordered the fish and fries and my wife ordered the chicken Parmesan with pasta. The chicken Parmesan was horrible. You could easily separate the Parmesan cheese from the chicken which my wife eventually did. The fish and fries was at best blind while the tartar sauce had very little or no taste. For our desert, we ordered the cheesecake which had a very funny aftertaste. The cheesecake lacked the creaminess that is customary with cheesecakes that you eat anywhere else. In addition, it had a somewhat bitter aftertaste. Overall, for the money that we paid for this event it was not worth it at all. At no time at all should anyone have to wait almost an hour for a waiter to come over and take your order. We were not the only ones to experience this as another family not sitting far from inquired of the waiter at least three times the status of their main course. In conclusion, I do not recommend this event for New Year’s eve celebration.
