Our family of 5 had a reservation at 6pm and we didn’t get seated until 6:40. We stood out on the sidewalk in the blazing heat without asked if we would like water or any kind of hospitality. We then were seated and informed our waiter what had happened and that we just wanted a drink. He proceeded to take one of our drink orders and then left for 10 + minutes and came back without the one drink. We then finally all got to order what we wanted and the food was very subpar. Overall, service was poor and food was just subpar. I would not go back when visiting. We told a waiter at another restaurant what had happened and he said he knew that Racks had consistent bad service even when he went himself. I would not recommend Racks Fish House and Oyster Bar.

I called to make a reservation & was NOT informed that the sushi chef is off on Mondays. I have 2 food allergies, so many of your dishes do not work for me but I love the Rack & Roll roll. Also my biggest problems with eating out is that my food is not correct & cooked with my food allergies bc I have to WAIT. This time my Tacos were made 3x before they made it with corn tortillas bc of my gluten allergy. By the time my food came out my friends were finished with their food & I was eating by myself. Granted the manager comp my tacos but I would rather eat with my friends than receive free food. If you say the restaurant can accommodate food allergies than the wait & cook staff should be trained better & more careful. I would of been very very sick if I ate the tacos with FLOUR tortillas.

The service at the bar wasn’t good at all on top of being super slow. We ordered a drink, it was great the first time, but had to ask the server to exchange it when we got it the second time because it wasn’t as good as the first one and had a weird taste of jalapenos. I don’t think they even made a new one, the drink was still bad and tasted the same. We didn’t even tell our server because he was so nice.

Well it was kind of disappointing that father's day dinner was sub par. This place is extremely over priced and over hyped. Will definitely not come back. BTW it wasn't the outragous bill it's just mainly the quality of food.
