Negative stars and 2 big thumbs down! We were going through P-town last weekend, and decided to stop in for a late breakfast at about 1230. The tired hostess hastily exclaimed they are no longer serving breakfast. We were lead to our child-size table among a maze of people. I bonked a lady with my purse on the way. Maybe that is why they seem to only hire pixie sized waitstaff. We were offered coffee upon sitting at the wobbly table. I asked the flustered waiter for some splenda, sugar or whatever. He never brought it out. We decided on the Salmon Lox plate. We waited,all the while sipping our unsweetened dollar store coffee.The waiter brought what looked like some sort of artwork made with sushi. It didn't even look edible. The outer edge of the plate was lined with cucumbers and tomato slices. The inside was one lettuce leaf. Then topped with a few shreds of raw fish.... The description of this dish said "smoked salmon on a bed of fresh vegetables" After sitting and staring at the untouched "food" for about 10 mins, the waiter finally asked "Is that not what you ordered?" I replied " I didn't order raw fish" He then replied, "It's not raw, it's pickled" Then wandered off into the crowd. He never returned. After about 10 more mins of sitting there, one of the pixies came over to hand us the check! I asked for a box, she quickly returned, saw us put the uneaten lunch in the box, and took our $.....This was $15.50 totally wasted. There was no offer to exchange our meal, or even ask what was wrong with it. I couldn't even give that lunch away. I tried. It ended up being thrown away. Maybe I am just too old-fashioned, but when a customer is unhappy with their order, you fix it-and put some sugar on the table for goodness sakes. Needless to say, we will not be returning to the Bread and Ink. I have renamed it Dread and Ink...because I dread going there and wasting $15...
