Review - Restaurant - Dutchman's Seafood House

This restaurant used to be called The Flying Dutchman. It has recently been renamed "Dutchman's Seafood House" and has been majorly renovated. Gone are the kitschy booths and pirate-themed wall decor. They sort of "fancied" it up. I was happy to see that there were many diners in attendance the day I lunched there. They still offer bottomless sodas, and their servers are quite friendly. Their menu is rather fish- and seafood-oriented, but they offer a grilled chicken breast on the side, and there are several beef items, as well.

I was happy that I was able to order my cheeseburger cooked medium-rare. Their lightly seasoned french fries were great, crisp and slightly seasoned -- no ketchup needed. There were several that were overcooked, though. The bun is buttered and slightly toasted, which was great because the burger was so juicy!!

As usual, I ordered the side salad minus cucumber and tomato, which left a pretty naked salad. The green lettuce was good, and there was plenty of blue cheese dressing. The croutons were good, too, even if they were not homemade. It was rather expensive for a side salad, though. They brought out the salad early for me, but neglected to bring a new fork with the burger.

I will definitely return here, perhaps when there is a group of people. The view is fantastic, the servers are friendly, and if you have their old "locals-only" off-season discount card don't throw it away, they still honor it if you show it to them. I will return here, especially with my friends when they visit from out-of-town!!
