Mariscos Almada — Restaurant in Hyde Park Township

Coming from out of town, Walked in with my partner, we were not greeted. We sat ourselves while still being ignored. Restaurant only had 3 tables w people, they were NOT busy. They had more employees in the kitchen about 4-5. The employee/owner made eye contact w us and still didn't come to our table. 2 other ladies walk in about 5 mins later, the waiter very nicely comes to their table, greets them, brings them the appetizer while we are still waiting. About 10 mins waiting he finally comes to our table, rude. He didn't even turn to look at me while taking the order and directed his attention to my friend while still having a rude tone. She order a shrimp/octopus cocktail, I ordered an aguachile. Finally, about 30 mins later we get our food. While waiting we keep seeing how he tends the other tables, very nice and polite, offering options and even smiling. He brings our food w an attitude, as he gave us the cocktail we let him be aware that it was missing the octopus. It looked like it bothered him that we told him that, he continued talking to other tables while we still waited for the octopus to add to the cocktail. I get up, walk towards the service window and politely asked the lady in the back, whom I was told is the owner... I ask her excuse me ma'am would you please give me the portion of octopus for the cocktail because we had asked the waiter and he didn't seem to care. She looked at me and said in a rude manner sit down and when he gets done he will bring it over... went back to the table, realized the shrimp from the aguachile were all raw. Didn't say anything about that because we we re already having a terrible experience... he kept serving other tables and my partner asked where is the octopus you were bringing and he just rolled his eyes, went to the back and came back 5 mins later with it and on top of that with an attitude. Only had a couple bites of the food because it wasn't even great. Service was the worst! It's sad that our own "raza" behaves like that towards their own. When all we are doing is supporting small businesses in our communities. We didn't go in asking for free food. We pay for our meals. We don't understand why his attitude towards us since we walked in. This was my 1st time and LAST time. Food no good. Service the worst. I am not one to be posting reviews and especially like this but I don't think anybody should be treated like that. I've worked in the food industry and I know it can get stressful but if you have an attitude problem fix it before dealing w customers. Everyone has problems, but we can't take them on other people. Now if he had a problem w how I look (soft masc, short hair) and if that had anything to do w the type of service we received. Very very disappointed. Would...

First time there to 5/2/20. Saw that it had great reviews. Just for a first try I ordered the ceviche mix. Usually most mariscos restaurant's that means a mix of shrimp, fish and octopus. First the ceviche had to at least been a couple days old. Also there was no octopus in it. The shrimp was the canned shrimp that are the size of a finger nail! Honestly, not great at all. I also ordered camarones ala plancha. They were decent at best rice was ok, crab salad was ok. The bread was not your typical bread they give at mariscos restaurant's. I will give them another try, and try...

I walked in and the waiter just looked at me completely dumbfounded. She was cleaning the tables and I asked do I just sit myself and she completely ignored me. I asked again and she just kept doing what she was doing so the third time I asked I spoke up and she stared at me for second and said I don’t speak English. I speak Spanish but she was completely rude and I just walked out. I live just up the street been wanting to try it out but that’s just terrible and such horrible way to greet someone trying to eat at your establishment. Won’t be eating...
