| - So peeved atm (at the moment).
Had a super long shift at work and ended up at the Pilot for some Guinness, a regular theme in my present day life.
After a few cold ones my m8 and I became hungry so we ordered up some food. Now...I have been craving fish & chips for a few weeks now but had been waiting to hit a proper well known fish & chips joint to fulfill my craving. Not sure what got into me tonight but I ordered this dish from the Pilots menu.....What a folking disaster..
The chips were ok, nothing spectacular but not bad. The coleslaw was hideous...dry and well under seasoned, just ghastly. I absolutely adore and love coleslaw for its tart qualities and fresh crunchy texture....but I predict my serving was a couple days old. The fish was by far the most disappointing aspect of the whole dish, when it should have been the highlight. I'm not a huge fan of fish on the whole, but I crave f & c because in my life I fiend TEXTURE when I eat. On a texture scale of 1-10 the fish I received was pushing 2. It was almost soggy and just the tips of the ends were slightly crispy, the body of the fish was gummy and the fish tasted brutal. No lemon wedge could save this unidentified filet.
Come to think of it, I'm not sure why I didn't complain. Why I didn't walk into the kitchen and check the temperature on the deep fryer then proceed to refry my hurtin' under seasoned fish my damn self. My buddy who I was with had a rather lackluster meal himself and said that at the end of the day its a bar and what do I really expect. But, at the end of the day it's deep frying fish, a blind monkey could execute this pub classic if he listened closely enough to the popping of the oil.
All in all I am so pissed. I ate a 1/3 the fish and all the fries and could not force anymore down. I am definitely full and not hungry anymore but soo dissatisfied mentally to the point where I feel like I need to eat somewhere else.
Ok. I'm done with my fish & chips rant. Aside from that I'm at the Pilot at least twice a week on the flight deck puttin' a hurtin' on Guiness cans. Staff is very attentive and the bartenders are slick. The flight deck vibe is great, you do get a lot of suits but then again you're in Yorkville. Get thre after 5pm and it can be very difficult to get a table. I will always slam drinks at this venue but will never ever ever eat here again.
The 3 stars are for the great times I have had here drinking and will continue to have, if this were strictly a food based review I would bestow a 0 www.realtalk.ca
