Large hearty portions without compromising the taste and texture. I got the haddock and chips, and the ratio of batter to fish is just right. The haddock was pretty firm and meaty, and the chips were delicious but after I finished the fish, I was too full for the fries. Feel free to pack them home for a snack later. The meal also comes with a small serving of coleslaw. It was crispy and creamy; it was okay (not a big fan of coleslaw). I don't think they normally serve tartar sauce with their fish and chips so be sure to ask for it. We had bread and butter to start. I found the bread a little hard but at least the butter was nice and soft. Pet peeve: rock hard butter for your bread. To finish, my friends and I shared the apple crisp and ice cream. It was delicious! You're basically eating crunchy apple pie filling with vanilla ice cream.
Ambiance: 5 stars
They could probably have more work done on the exterior. If my friend hadn't been there before, I would have totally overlooked the place. However, the interior is very stylish with red booths near the bar and a few other neat dining rooms. I would say the solarium was the best with all its big windows and glass roof. If it gets too hot, you can ask your waitress to have the windows opened and catch a nice breeze. Good spot to sit and chat with some friends.
Service: 5 stars
I should have asked for her name but our waitress was one of the best I have ever encountered. Very polite and friendly, with a big smile on her face at all times, and checked up on us periodically. In fact, all the staff I have interacted with at Old Yorke Fish and Chips were pleasant and joyful.
Will definitely be back for more, and to try their homemade key lime pie!
