Enjoyed a lovely Friday evening here with my mom after a long work week. We had decided we wanted to go somewhere casual with seafood on the menu and Hogtown came up in my Yelp search : )
The night we visited they were offering a lobster boil meal for $50 which included a whole lobster, corn on the cob, herb roasted potatoes and a glass of wine or craft beer. A great deal but we weren't in the mood to mess with our dinner (taking a lobster apart takes a bit more effort then we were willing to make at that point lol). That having been said, would love to come back again some day to try!!
We sat at the bar and the bartender (Hillary?) was super lovely and attentive. We chose an order of white wine garlic mussels to share to start. The mussels were cooked perfectly and we didn't find any closed shells (yay!). IMO, the sauce was a bit too light on the flavour but the dish was very tasty overall. I think next time I would try the curry version.
We both ended up ordering a plate of fish and chips for our entrees. The portion size was massive! I ended up taking my leftovers home to my fiance who promptly devoured them. The fish was fried very nicely - light and crispy, not greasy. Both the fries and tartar sauce appeared to be home made, so so good. Very satisfying with a nice pint of craft beer!
Overall, we had a great experience. Definitely will return again someday!
