Tampa Ale House, Tampa

My daughter wanted to go here for her birthday, I had the blackened Mahi-mahi, she had a dozen raw oysters on the half shell. The Mahi was terrrible (rubbery and tasted funny, my wife was wondering what the smell was) my daughter gave me one of her last Oysters I turned it over to see if the other side also had a film covering it (it didn't), I put it in my mouth and immediately took it out. I asked her why she ate most of them, she said she didn't wanted to be a wimp (I had to tell her about the dangers of raw seafood). They Oysters were so overpowering in bad taste that she had tried to drown it out with lots of lemon juice, but she later told me that she never tasted the lemon. I should of known something was up when the booth we sat in initially had a strong vinegar smell and my first two beer choices weren't available, oh and the waiter forgot to bring me my French Fries, I later told him not to bother. My wife and other daughter had salads and they weren't disappointed and I understand that the burgers are supposed to be good. The only upside (besides the multiple TVs showing different sporting events) was the free cake they gave the b-day girl, I was told it was good, but I didn't want to try it, I just wanted to get out of there. Needless to say, I won't return.
