Five Visit Critique
1. Pile of deep fried goodness to share among friends...tab around $80 before gratuity. Meaty, delicious fish and fries. Table set with an array of condiments.
2. Recipient of complimentary giant sushi combo platter. Impressed in two ways. Wanted more. Wanted to support the establishment.
3. Dined in on sushi with young children. Craziness but great. Owner brought our BBQ eel and shrimp sushi just to try. Despite busyness, stopped by to satiate our sushi questions. All wait staff should know what menu items taste like, textures, allergens, etc. Otherwise, they're just ignorant wait staff--which reflects on the business.
4. Dined in again to try for Indian Candy. Still none after two weeks. Claims of Olympics stealing their orders.
5. Spouse tried for takeout recently. Still no Indian Candy. Look if something is so popular, get it in. Get a new supplier if you're getting the shaft OR take it off the menu for the time being. Stop disappointing the customer.
Improvements: Nobody wants to see the kitchen unless its actually part of the house layout.
Great Aspects: Friendly, helpful owner. Fun decor. Interesting weekly offers to bring people in continually. Fun waitress from New Zealand. Complete with accent.
GRADE: A-. Overall this place is good. Buy fresh seafood, order it fried, sit in a comfortable environment. Obviously I like it enough to frequent it AND I'd choose S2S above Mastaro's Sushi anyday. ANY. DAY.

I have gone twice now to get Indian Candy for take out and there wasn't any. I have stopped going. Maybe in the summer I'll try once more. Agree though that the owner is friendly and sociable.
I actually wasn't impressed by Ship to Shore, yes the owner was very friendly, but if a seafood restaurant can't make good fish and chips? Something isn't right! It was also very expensive for what we had. My kids didn't like it but that doesn't tell anyone anything, I thought it was ok, but for ok food, it should have been a heck of a lot cheaper!
I went for the all you can eat sushi and was not impressed. The quality of the fish was good but there was almost no choice in the menu and when I asked if I could have some things sashimi style the waitress did not know what that was and asked if she could serve it on rice anyway - they really push the rice (filler). The other problem was it took forever to get our meal even though the restaurant was not full. When I asked about it they said that they were serving the table ahead of us their sushi orders (including second and thirds) before they would start serving us. I was pissed. I'm not surprised the restaurant recently closed.
