I'm not really a fish & chips enthusiast and whenever I do have it it becomes a forgotten dining experience as soon I get the check but I have to admit my first attempt at Penrose may change things for me.
I got the pricier halibut simply because I figured if you want to know how good a place is, get what costs more. So halibut had to be better than that other fish. What I got was pretty thick, moist, the batter was crispy though really oily as can be expected. The fries were a tad soggy but very passable. Service was all I could ask for.
One con is that I find street parking such a hassle and unfortunately this is the only option.
