Blue Water Seafood Company

Review: The restaurant would not honor a gift certificate that was given to us as a gift. They stated that if the certificate was purchased before 3/31/13 that we had to use it at Blue Waters down in Red Bank. We traveled to the one in Red Bank, NJ only to find that they would not honor it as well.Red Bank said that it was purchased in East Brunswick so that's where it should be honored. Needless to say my daughter is out the $100. spent on the card.Can someone get them to honor this certificate?Desired Settlement: Honor the gift certificate to eat there or a refund.

Response:

on February 25, 2013 1126 seafood LLC purchased the restauranat located at 1126 route 18 north east Brunswick nj 08816. The bill of sale clearly states that we are not undertaking any outstanding gift card obligations. I will gladly provide you with a bill of sale. My lawyer has advised me not to accept any gift cards issued prior me purchasing the restaurant. As we state on teh sign on teh door, restrooms, cash register and guest check book holder- we will not accept any gift cars issued prior to March 1, 2013 please let me know if youu need anything else from me

I am rejecting this response because: The old company owners that issued the card should have included a experation date or a disclaimer in regards to the sale of the business. The old owner, now in Red Bank, I guess should be held responsible. It's just a shame that my youngest daughter is out the $100. she gave us as a gift.
