That's disappointing.

They may have had reservations on the other tables. Some restaurants make it a point to "turn" their tables every 2 hours, but some restaurants figure that if you have a table, it's yours for the night.

That's really weird about the salty fish. I think I would have sent it back. Maybe they got too heavy handed with the "finishing" salt. It takes a deft hand to get finishing salt just right.

Guys, when you have a problem with a dish ask to see the manager and send the dish back. Not only should they return the offending dish to the kitchen, but they should also take your plate back to keep it warm. If they don't offer to do this, tell them that is what you want done. Christophers and Springhouse are billing themselves as "fine dining" restaurants. And that is what fine dining establishments do.

We've been to Springhouse for lunch twice. Service and food have been good. I have noted that the hostess is a little offhand and not necessarily all that welcoming. Last time, they tried to seat us at a bad table and seemed a little taken back when we asked to be seated somewhere else. But, it wasn't a problem and they did as we requested.

When you are paying good money for meals in a fine dining establishment you have to sometimes let them know (nicely) that you expect them to measure up. Given them a chance to fix the problem. If they don't, then they deserve a bad review.
