Restaurant Review: Bremerton Bar and Grill

I am branching out in the blog-o-sphere and describing my experience in local eateries. 

Tonight we enjoyed dinner at Bremerton Bar and Grill. It's over across from the Bremerton Ferry and Puget Sound Naval Shipyard (PSNS). We were seated right away on the patio, which was mildly impressive on a Saturday night. Or suspicious. We chose a shady spot as far away from the hubbub of the restaurant as we could. 

The weather was lovely and it was pretty perfect, except for the speaker right next to our table blaring out songs of the '80s. Yuck. A server brought water and took our drink orders as we perused the menu. 

The place was a little pricey. I wasn't incredibly hungry and didn't see anything that grabbed me particularly, so ordered the Hummus Plate Appetizer for around $10. Allan opted for the fish and chips at $13.99. 

Our $4.00 (non-alcoholic) drinks came. Allan's was about 95% ice. Mine was tiny, but good. I continually added water to it and it was tasty for a long time. Unfortunately our waitress never refilled our water glasses (even after we asked). 

Eventually our food came, and it was well-presented and average. Allan requested another tartar sauce as soon as he saw how little there was, and it came after he had finished his dinner. He had run out of ketchup, too. 

The scenery was pretty and the weather cooperated. The food, though somewhat overpriced, was acceptable. The service and noisy atmosphere, however, left something to be desired. I would rather go somewhere with better service and excellent food, or a take-out place that I know I enjoy and eat at the park for the alfresco experience.
