The Outpost at IOP Marina

Mixed review. We visited the new Marina Market twice over the weekend. The Decor was absolutely lovely & staff very friendly and accommodating. As expected, prices were high as on Merchandise. I like the choices offered but I loved the Merchandise before much better which offered local artisans goods, a much larger selection for women whereas now the men’s selection is much larger and women offerings are stuffed in a corner. Let me remind you, women are your shoppers not men. The restaurant.first day I had the Fish Tacos & the Cuke/tomato salad both were outstanding! Our second trip, I ordered the Avocado toast which was very sad. It was a packaged “avocado spread”, on crunchy bread with a texture resembling birdseed however the scrambled eggs were delicious, light & fluffy and $3 for condiment cup size grits.
Lastly, as we proceeded to the register I was stunned my total was $146bucks. Fish tacos, side, chicken tenders, 1 bottled water, a beer koozie, cocktail sauce, 2 bottles bbq sauce & a bathing suit top. I looked at the receipt in shock, thinking I was over charged but wasn’t. Then I noticed ALL the added taxes and misc fees. Including a $22buck “service fee” to take my food order, my money & cook our food. Isn’t this their jobs? Don’t you pay your staff? Very disappointed, Do better. This is taking advantage of hardworking folks to sneak that in. Just being truthful, sorry if this comes across as harsh.
