My friend and I came across Mickie Finnz Fish House after searching down Fremont St. for an Italian eatery we saw advertised the night before. Since we were tired from a lot of walking, and hungry to say the least, we decided to hit it up. Needless to say, our experience was flat-out BAD. The hostess lets us decide where to sit, and that a waitress would be on her way (with 1/3 capacity full, it still took her a little over 10 minutes to reach our table, a table seated on the outside with only 2 other cpls/groups being waited on.) If that's your policy as a business, you damn-sure better be on your shit for service, and this was not the case. Usually the 3-strike rule should apply, but for some reason we ended up giving her more than deserved. She finally gets to us and asks for drinks. STRIKE 1- I wanted a house margarita, and rather than ask for on the rocks or blended, she jotts it down and proceeds back to the bar. Fucker. She comes back about another 10 minutes later with our drinks (noted: our table was about 15 feet away from the outside walk-up bar) but luckily my drink was how I wanted it in the first place. Still, all this took way too long to happen, which shoulda been a sign to just drink there and eat somewhere else... bad choice. So we order our food (split between a "Shrimp Bucket [sided with fries] and Mahi-Mahi [sided w/ vegs]) and after a cpl minutes decide to walk around a little to look at a map of the area. As we're approaching back to our table, our waitress, helping another family near the entrance, reinterates our order one more time making sure she didn't get it wrong. Not that there's anything wrong with getting it right, but isn't that why we write orders down? STRIKE 2- Our food comes out, but we've yet to be given silverware nor plates of any kind. First, the "shrimp bucket" was clearly misleading as it had approx. 8 grilled (er, should we say BURNED) shrimp on skewers, and a bucket about 10" high filled with fries... yes, more like "FRIES Bucket [sided w/ Burnt Shrimp]" That's what it shoulda said, else we would've never ordered it! As for the Mahi-Mahi? STRIKE 3- It might have been pan-coconut-crusted but it was pretty much between the raw-rare stages... something, as a waitress, she should've confirmed before, asking how we wanted the fish to be cooked. It was tasteless and only fared decent with the drizzle of hot sauce provided next to the cold side of veggies. Oh yes, apparantly the dish already comes with vegetables, and had I known that I could've ordered something different. That constitutes an automatic STRIKE 4! Oh before I forget, when we have to ASK for plate/silverware, she brings out 1 (yes, one, singular) plate and some fork/knife set that looked just washed. Not just bringing it to us, she half-heartedly drops the plate in front of my friend. STRIKE 5! Then to top it off, she comes back one time only to check up on us, and while I ignore her my friend has the urge to stick it to her about the food, to which she takes as an invite to bring over the manager... we didn't want the manager, nor did we ask for him. But still, she does it anyway- #6! So we end up explaining everything to him, and all he can do is order my friend another Mojito, one that he refused the first time but the manager still persisted to bring out. As you can imagine, there was NO tipping involved here. It simply would've felt WRONG to do so. And I would NEVER E-V-E-R recommend this place to any tourist, let alone neighborhood regular. If the food was outstanding I might be able to put up with the subpar JV-type service, but even the food sucked. The only approval I can give is the the fries... those were decent, and pretty big too, but not worth all the other shit thrown in. A waste of both $$$ and time, Mickie Finnz gets TWO BIG FUCKING THUMBS DOWN!
