| - Ate here with a group of friends for a birthday celebration. I ordered the red snapper in traditional batter with frings, vinagrette coleslaw and tartar sauce (which was a recommendation from the server, who said they make it in house).
The good:
- Friendly service.
- Quality of fish and batter: I had the red snapper, which was very tasty and beautifully cooked.
- Great atmosphere - casual, comfy.
- Vinaigrette coleslaw had a complex fermented / kosher dill flavour that was unique and delish.
The bad:
- Service. Had to ask to order our food after waiting for over 30 minutes. We had drinks, but by 8 we hadn't ordered food and the restaurant closes at 9. Also, our server forgot multiple drink orders and needed to be reminded periodically.
- Portioning. I watched several beautiful haddock fillets in the 4-5 oz size hit the table in front of my friends. When my snapper arrived, it was at best 1.5 oz :(. If the portions of fish are that drastically different, PLEASE put that on the menu. I felt ripped off.
- Tartar sauce. The server hyped the tartar sauce, made in house. I was saddened when my fish arrived with essentially a cup of store bought mayonnaise. There was no discernible mince of pickle or fresh herbs.
Overall, good fish and chips, but overpriced given the lack of attention to detail in portioning and service. Fix the portioning problem (or post the fillet sizes in oz on the menu).
TL/DR: Tasty fish. Overpriced restaurant.
