We stopped into this pub for a bite to eat and watch the soccer tournament being played in Brazil. England lost, which did not make a lot of Brits sitting in the bar very happy. My first visit to Tilted Kilt left me thrilled and disappointed at the same time. I was thrilled because it is a wonderful sports bar with a great business model. The servers are probably the friendliest I've encountered in a long time. Paula had no problem spending time with us and that made us feel right at home. They also offered us a discount simply because we were locals (people who actually live in Vegas).. We really did enjoy ourselves, that is, until the food came. It would probably be no surprise to our friends to hear that we chose the fish and chips on the menu. We've been looking for a good one since our favorite place for this item closed last year. The fish was a beer-battered cod that the restaurant proudly claims is made with Sam Adams beer. It is proudly displayed on the menu as a featured item. We were very disappointed. It looked great when it arrived in the basket with fries and onion rings on the side but, we quickly lost interest as we dug in. The breading was quite doughy and flavorless. it tasted like grease and when I took a fork and pressed into the fish, it oozed oil. The same for the onion rings and fries. Greasy as can be. This tells me the oil was not hot enough when the food was dropped in. Why can't these kitchens test the the temperature of oil before they dip anything into it? Why doesn't a good line cook or chef know that it takes time for a deep fryer to recover heat lost after frying a batch of battered fish? Maybe it's me. Maybe I expect too much but, I don't think so. I grew up on the East Coast having fish and chips every Friday for most of my young life. While in school, I worked at several restaurants that specialized in making fish and chips .. or a "fish fry" as we called them. I guess I'll just have to keep looking for that elusive fish fry. As for the Tilted Kilt; it's a fine place to sit and have a beer!
