| - Hate to be the sole negative review amongst so many great ones. Especially because I love supporting small businesses the emphasize quality and freshness.
I got the Haddock Fish n Chips.
My wife got the Shrimp Po Boy.
Fish in the fish and chips was pretty good. A little watery compared to some of the best I've had at Penrose Fish n Chips etc. Fries were meh.
Shrimp po boy was better. Shrimp was good and generously overflowing on the sandwich. A nice fresh salad came on the sandwich as well. Unfortunately, it was a mess to eat. Yes, Po Boy's are supposed to be, but the bun used compares to Ace Bakery Bread and simply did not make sense for that kind of sandwich.
Here's my real beef. I went to use the washroom, walked through a door that did not close properly into the stare well. In that stare well was a door wide open to the ally behind their store. That didn't seem to code...especially with that door being the only thing between 'the outdoors' and their supply room (down the stairs) and broken door leading into the restaurant.
The bathroom itself had not been cleaned in a while which I can handle. However, it REALLY scares me when I see that there is no soap inside. What is the chef and cashier using to wash their hands after using the washroom? Are they touching supplies etc afterwards with unwashed hands?
We also separately noticed that woman and man touching raw fish, then the cash register and people cards/cash/change, then going back to the raw fish without gloves or a hand wash.
The women behind the cash seems very pleasant however overwhelmed with everything going on.
The man who appeared to be the chef and perhaps part owner seems a little arrogant. I'm all for a chef who sings and appears to be enjoying himself...however, the way he talked to the woman, swore and sang Rihanna at the top of his lungs seems to land on the wrong side of pleasant vs arrogant.
Again, I would have LOVED to proved a positive review. The sole reason we went there was due to it's high Yelp review. At the very least, I hope some other folks see this and perhaps raise these concerns to the folks running the place.
All the best!
