| - **THIS REVIEW IS FOR PREVIOUS OWNERSHIP - THEY HAVE CHANGED OWNERS SINCE AND I HAVE NOT BEEN BACK FOR A SUBSEQUENT VISIT**I recently went to a fish n chips place in Half Moon Bay (review on it's way!) and now I think I'm on a fish n chips binge. I previously tried Lazy Joe's in LV, but was a bit let down by the experience that I had just written fish n chips off in Vegas. I had remembered Off the Hook (great name, btw) was in the same plaza as some of my favorite places (Komex, Chef Zen) so I decided to pop in here for dinner with my husband.
The food here is solid. I enjoyed the flavors in my Fish Wrap, which had cod, avocado, cabbage, Thai sauce and fresh pico in a tomato-basil wrap. This will be something I'd order again and again. Their cole slaw was crunchy and refreshing and the fries were hot and crispy. My husband enjoyed the fish in his fish n chips and the cod used was very 'meaty'. He'd like to try the cajun seasoning next time for added flavor in the batter. Tartar sauce was perfectly tangy and the owner read our minds and replenished our supply when needed.
What I'm actually most impressed by is the amazing customer service from the owner. He was doing everything on his own - explaining the menu, taking orders, checking in on tables, refilling drinks, cooking, etc. At one point, there were 6 parties in the restaurant and he took care of everyone so seamlessly. It was way better service than I've gotten at a sit-down restaurant with more staff available. He never made anyone feel rushed or neglected, and he showed a lot of compassion to an elderly woman that was eating by herself and wanted to chat. It was the kind of genuine service that really leaves a positive impression on you and this is a business I'm rooting for.
