| - From the outside, Bookers looks like a really sketchy, was-once-a-bar-but-is-now-closed shack that you would not want to enter unless you knew your friends were already in there, and there was a reservation.
Anyway, so we did have a reservation yesterday, and we had the private room booked, since we were a large group. Upon entering, we were surprised at the cool industrial-yet-chic vibe of the place. I liked it immediately. I kind of wished we stayed in the main area, but we were whisked upstairs to the private room.
When we looked at the menu, everything looked appetizing! We ordered 2 buckets of crab legs and a bucket of deep fried pickles as appetizers while we perused the menu. I had an especially hard time trying to decide between my Snow Crab Dinner, Beer-battered fish sandwich, Crab sandwich, and fish and chips for my main meal. I finally settled on the beer-battered sandwich. With yam fries on the side. And a half salad on the side too.
When my sandwich came, I dove right in - and it was GOOD! I was very pleased. My yam fries were really tasty too, and my 'half' salad was pretty huge. I had to ask the waitress again if she had messed up my order, but she said "Nope, that's half". I took a few bites of my fries and salad, but honestly, my sandwich was so good I could barely stop eating it.
My group had mixed feelings about their sandwiches and the pickles (too salty, some said), but I loved my meal. Service was a bit slow, but I guess that was because of the size of our group. But overall, I will be back!
