| - Came here on Easter based on the recommendations of friends for their Fish & Chips (for my mumsie). I had been here a few times before, but only had appetizers and drinks.
Mom liked the fish & chips, said it tasted like a tempura batter, I don't like fish so I didn't try them to know. The chips here are awesome...they're cut like a really thick potato chip which I ordered as an appetizer, but wouldn't have had I known those were the same type of "chips" coming with my mom's meal. The tartar sauce, I'm sure is made in -house so it does have dill in it, which it looked like the fish batter did also. I didn't care for the tartar sauce but mums didn't oppose it.
Also I was asked if I wanted the appetizer chips to come out first, which I did because we were starving, but everything came out at the same time. So for $6, it's a good appetizer, but not when you're already getting it with your meal. The lunch sized portion was just right with 2 good sized pieces of fish, a side of cole slaw, and the chips for $9 (served before 4:00pm). The chips also come with this delicious sauce which I would kind of describe as a fancier version of 1000 island. Delicious!
I ordered the Shepherd's Pie, which I was somewhat apprehensive about after reading the reviews, but I thought it was pretty good. It lacked salt, but I'd rather something lack salt and be able to add more than vice versa. The presentation was absolutely marvelous, and the potatoes on top were to die for. It was served with a side salad, also a lunch special for $9. I could have substituted "chips" for the salad if I wanted, which, again, I would have done had realized what I was doing.
Service was fairly quick, which it should have been as we were one of about 3 tables in the whole place, and our server was very friendly. The Guiness brownie looked tempting, but I had a Snake-bite with lunch and that always makes me too full to even finish my meal.
All in all, a decent meal and I would definitely return again, but based on the fish and chips alone, Mums and I decided we're going to try another place next time.
