| - Saw the great reviews on yelp and decided to take the family to try it out.
Initial thoughts: I quickly glanced at the yelp reviews and decided to head out to try the restaurant out. I expected it to be fancy place but when I got to the plaza it turned out to be a small restaurant with a fast food kinda look to the exterior. I had my doubts... And while walking towards the door, I told the wife "maybe we want to go somewhere else". But boy was I wrong, the food was ....AMAZING!
Stepping into the restaurant:
Small but very clean. Menu was simple. If you are looking for scallops, oysters lobsters they don't have these on the menu. I guess these items don't fit into the style and culture of the type of seafood that is served here...the main focus is on fish. If they can focus on fish and cook it well, that is absolutely ok with me. We ordered baked sea bass with potatoes, haddock fish and chips and calamari & muscles with tomato sauce. Went up to the counter to pick the fish and it didn't have the tiniest odour of a fishy smell. Everything looked smelled really fresh! It would have been great to pick live fish, but I understand with a family run business, there are budgetary constraints. If it keeps prices low and the fish is still fresh on ice, then hey that is good for me.
Eating time:
The baked sea bass was cooked to perfection, lovely flavours, potatoes were soft melt in your mouth. The calamari & mussels were tender and fresh. Fish and chips were of great value. And what a surprise....we got served complimentary pita bread... It was warm like it was freshly made served with two hummus like dips. I can't get the meal out of my mind. It was that good!
Conclusions: 5 star experience. I love the family run type of feel to the restaurant. Looks small, but huge flavour, great value, friendly staff, what can I say more? Go to this restaurant!
