Le Tub — Restaurant in Hollywood

Due to a very awkward experience we didn't get to try the burger. But as a pretty good connoisseur of burgers I will say this could quite possibly be the best burger in the whole world. We saw one go by our table and I have to say, that looked liked the most incredible burger I've ever seen. It floated by on a plate as if in a TV commercial. The burger was supersized, a real live Fred Flintstone Brontoburger indeed. Cheese melted on top beyond perfection, and juicy beyond your wildest dreams. I wish I had a chance to have one. Le Tub is like no other. You walk thru the entrance into another world. The theme and decor will having you smiling as you walk thru the gate. A fantastic saloon that whisks you away from the world. Unfortunately for us, we sat ourselves as instructed then we were shunned for exactly 7 minutes and 4 seconds. The girl server passed 3 times, the man bun server passed us 4 times. No smiles no greeting whatsoever. Normally a server will lean in and say "I'll be with you in a minute" but they avoided eye contact at all costs. The 4th time the girl passed I injected a big smile into her path and she smiled back asking if we needed menus. We said yes. She dropped two menus on the table and turned away and proceeded to engage in a minute long conversation about iguanas with the table across from us. Normally a server will say hi how are you today, can I get you something to drink? We received the blow off. Man bun boy was over at the bar staring us down keeping his hands busy as if he was doing something important and happy he didn't have our table. Then she walked towards the waters edge and shooed away another iguana. She walked past us again. I couldn't help myself, I said "Are we allowed to order drinks?" as she passed. She replied yes and kept walking. Then she came back a minute later, 9 min mark and proceeded to feed another iguana attempting to lure it to the edge of the dock. Finally at 9 mins and 36 seconds she came over and asked if we wanted a drink. I replied "I can tell feeding iguanas is far more important than our drinks. It's ok we'll pass. Thank you" She said ok, walked off and complained about us when we did nothing but sit there for over 9 mins staring at the staff and that beautiful iguana eating lettuce. I assume the regulars at the bar don't wait 10 mins for a drink, they most likely wait 90 seconds or so which is standard. I knew this was just the beginning of what would turn out to be a nightmarish visit, waiting another 10 mins to get the drinks then who knows how long to see food. So I cut it short. Being we just came from surfing at Margaritaville and we were buzzing with a great high I didn't want this experience to ruin a good day. Better to leave than allow it to get worse. We were disappointed because two friends recommended Le Tub. It's a magical place, you'll definently enjoy it. We just didn't fit in today. Those things happen sometimes, and they happen a lot when you have special needs kids. But life goes on. I highly recommend you don't miss Le Tub. Great views and what looks to be delicious food. Dang can't believe I didn't get a chance to try the...

It's 2 stars from me, and the only reason for the extra star is because our waitress did a great job!!! Upon walking in, it is a very cool place, we even had a tree coming out of our table, but thats where it ended. I ordered the crableg boil, my boyfriend got the ribs... I went back and forth on getting the boil, which consisted of 1 cluster of crablegs, mussels, clams, shrimp, corn and potatoes or just the crablegs... I had never had mussels before but was willing to try them, I knew I didn't like shrimp, but I wanted the clams and the corn and potatoes... the cooks were ABSOLUTELY NOT willing to let me add corn and potatoes as a side to a simple order of crablegs, so I got the boil fully prepared to not eat some of it but still wanted the extra sides.... my boil came out, and the crablegs (the only part I REALLY cared about) were TERRIBLE. I'm assuming they were undercooked because they were cold, and they were extremely difficult to get out of their shell, coming out in little cold strings of meat. I didn't touch the shrimp, I tried a mussel, which I found absolutely disgusting and ended up eating corn and potatoes, so thank goodness for my "sides" right? My boyfriends ribs were mediocre at best. Our waitress felt terrible and she tried to talk to both available managers to get us either a discount or the boil removed from our bill completely but neither one of them would budge even the slightest for their crappy cold meal served at their establishment, which she said she knew they weren't going to. We ended up leaving, hungry, after paying our $90 tab and went to taco bell instead.... much better food. Sad. We won't be back, ever. Bad management, poor quality food. Ikk. If it weren't for our waitress, it'd be one star from me, but she deserves better than that! If I could give the owners and food zero stars while giving our waitress 10 stars I'd do that in...

Preface: my family and I have been coming here for decades, and the food was always excellent!

So today I wanted to take my wife somewhere on the water for lunch, so we took the 30 minute trip out to Le Tub and arrived to an empty parking lot.. strange, this place has always been packed at lunch time? Well, that can’t be a good sign.. Alas, we went in hopeful that it was just a little late into the lunch hour and that was all. We went in and were seated with a lovely view (spoiler alert, the only good part of today’s experience) and promptly ordered. I ordered the burger medium with american cheese and bacon with no veggies and a large fry. My wife ordered the lobster BLT with fries, and we also got a New England clam chowder to share.

So, after 30+ minutes waiting and probably 10 more tables showing up our food finally arrived.. well, 2/3rds of it, they completely forgot the chowder.. we were both so hungry that I didn’t even get a chance to take pictures, we just wanted to eat, but upon arrival the fries were all either under or over cooked, the bacon on my burger was 2 over cooked and pathetic slices, and the burger itself was much smaller than it used to be, and much less juicy and tasty. My wife’s sandwich the lobster was bland, the bacon overcooked, and the bread was terrible. They did finally bring us out the chowder, and it was sour and acrid, as if it had been sitting around for days.. needless to say we were extremely disappointed by our $55 lunch and that is with the chowder being taken off..

Oh how the mighty have fallen, this used to be one of the tastiest places around, but they are now under new ownership, so like many of the places with a rich history down here that get taken over they just ride the coattails of their reputation and sling garbage to tourists who just want to take pictures to say they were...
