| - I like the look and feel of this place, kind of like a "Cheers" feel to it. The manager and server were super nice. It's always nice to feel welcomed when you walk in the door! We started with the fried mozzarella which was surprisingly good. The marinara was fresh and definitely not from a jar as it had a true tomato taste to it. Nice. For my main plate I had the fish n chips. I have to say, although the filet's were 'cut' sort of weird (pizza slice shaped..it's true) this may possibly be the best fish n chips I've had. The fish itself had the perfect mild flavor and the batter was perfectly done. Not oily or too heavy in texture. Most other places I have ordered this serve 75% batter and 25% fish. This was the opposite and really done close to perfection. Honestly, I'm not sure how it could be done any better. The fries were ok but should have been cooked longer. Let me not forget the slaw. I am not a slaw eater at all and most of the time this is left on my plate but not here. It was creamy, crunchy and fresh. I liked it!
My partner had the Patty Melt, what should be a classic. Not so much here. The beef was this huge "pub" burger. Cool, yeh? No, it had zero flavor. She had me try a bite to confirm. None! So after scrapping off the mushrooms (yes, they come on the "Patty Melt") she proceeded to eat with her burger in one hand and the pepper bottle in the other. Pour pepper, take a bite, pour pepper, take a bite.
*Cool note; they have a treasure chest full of toys by the door for kids to pick a toy from. Really fun idea.
We'll most likely go back, but not until we've explored all of the other spots in the warehouse district. This was our first venture to this area and I have to say I'm really excited to go back and explore!! We're already planning to take a day this summer and create our own walking "Taste of Cleveland" downtown. Food, cocktails, food, cocktails!! I'm in.
