Service : 3/5
Friendly enough service. We visited during around early dinner 18:00 EST. Only 1 other couple was in the dining area.
Food : 3/5
My wife opted for the the Halibut and Chips and Haddock and Chips for myself. A bit more pricey than our go to spot at Painted Post Fish and Chips.
We received our orders in about 10-15 minutes, as for the dishes themselves, the fries were done extra crispy just the way we like without us requesting to be cooked as such. As for the "fish" both the haddock and the halibut were tender and fresh not mushy or soggy. Each of us received 1 decently sized piece of fish for our orders. Batter wise I'd have to say it was light and crispy, less greasy than we have tried at other fish n chip spots. I'd rate the oiliness at 3/5** (view rating list below). For the price paid, would have been nice to have a bit more fries included with the order (we love our fries when they aren't frozen!)
Condiments :
Ketchup in a squeeze bottle, not sure on the brand or quality. They have something that resembles tartar sauce, but it had a pink/orange tinge to it, which was also in squeeze bottle. However, something in the tartar sauce was making my tongue tingle to almost a numbing sensation, I had consumed more of their tartar sauce than my wife, so she didn't notice a similar sensation on her tongue. Since I have no idea what was/is the cause of that odd tingly/numbing sensation, I would caution other foodies with sensitive tongues to go easy on the custom tartar sauce that is provided to customers. Take out packs of tartar sauce are available (not as flavorful, but likely without that tingly/numbing aspect), along with malt vinegar packets are available.
Beverages :
We are kinda picky on our Water, not fond of tap water at all due to varying mineral content and sodium content, we usually bring our own from Home, since we buy 15L Ice River water and fill up reusable bottles.
Alternatively we opt to share a can of soda or Iced Tea. Not many places offer filtered water as an option. Also, not all bottled water is good quality. At this venue they charge $1.00 + HST for a small glass of ice water with a 2 slices of lemon.
Other :
Parking is rather limited in the little strip. However, there is additional parking in the adjacent plaza within walking distance. Debit/cash accepted. Hard to enter the parking lot if you are heading Southbound on McCowan, other drivers will likely not give way for you to turn in. I had other drivers blasting their horns at me as I was waiting for a gap in the traffic flow.
Repeat visit ?
Possibly yes, a fellow friend on Yelp, had reviewed made in house fresh onion rings. So may return to try the fresh onion rings.
Oiliness rating** :
1/5 very light and no oily after effect on tongue
2/5 still relatively light, Malt Vinegar/Lemon wedges not yet needed except by choice
3/5 medium level of oiliness; light effect on the tongue ; Malt Vinegar/Lemon wedges may be used to cut grease
4/5 starting to lean towards being heavy; greasiness now needing Malt Vinegar/Lemon Wedges to cut grease
5/5 very heavy and noticeable on the tongue, difficult to consume batter without Malt Vinegar/Lemon wedges
