| - Took Yelp's recommendation to eat here instead of Pickle Bill's (which was surprisingly busy) after enjoying a garbage-filled trip to Mentor Headlands Beach.
Had a party of 9, but got seated right away. Waitress asked for our drink order as soon as we were settled. Drinks, apps and meals all came to our table promptly. Overall, service was good.
Food was surprisingly good as well. I had the Fisherman's Platter (typical fried sampler), which wasn't bad. Scallops are almost always a bust (frozen), but the rest of the items (shrimp, crab cake, whitefish and perch) were pretty good. Fries are greasy, but good. Cole slaw was also enjoyable.
My wife and daughter shared the 2 lb. crab legs dinner. My wife - who is a seafood snob, mind you - couldn't stop gushing about the quantity AND quality of the crab legs. I have a feeling she'll ask to return before the end of the summer.
The mashed potatoes and gravy are money. While the fries are good, I think I'll go with the mashers next time.
Haven't been to Pickle Bill's, but based on recent reviews, you are doing yourself a disservice if you don't hit Brennan's instead.
