Five stars for the fish.
Fries and coleslaw? Not so great.
Worth checking it out.
The Pier 83 in the name must be something personal to Oscar. The Restaurant is not on a Pier, and it is not on 83rd Street or 83rd Avenue. Like most restaurants in the Phoenix metro, it is in a strip mall. Order and pay at the counter when you walk in, get a number and they bring your food out to you. Beer and wine are available, no hard liquor.
I was thinking of getting fish tacos, but decided on Fish-n-Chips with the standard Icelandic Cod instead. The fish was delicious. Very lightly fried with a moist and flaky filet. If I was just eating the fish this review might have gotten the extra star. However, the coleslaw was dry and bland. Maybe it is my personal preference, but I prefer thick cut skin-on fries with my Fish-n-Chips. These fries reminded me of what you get at McDonald's or Burger King, but not that good.
My dining companion said the fish tacos were the best ever. I'll be trying those next year if I make it back there.
