I have heard about Honest Weight from multiple sources, in particular from a waiter at Chase. I knew that Honest Weight supplied seafood to a plethora of fine restaurants in the city so we had to check it out.
The restaurant was very cozy upon stepping inside. Weirdly, the menu was written on cute little green chalkboards at the back of the restaurant as the majority of the menu changes frequently based on their seafood availability. We ordered the fish sandwich and scallop mousseline at the bar then got seated.
The fish sandwich made with the fish of the day, rockfish, was delicious and paired perfectly with the housemade dill aioli on a crispy bun and a side of coleslaw. It was seasoned very well. MMmmMMmmMmm :)
The scallop mousseline looked like beautiful food art and was tasty as well. However, my partner ate the entire dish in two bites. For 16 dollars, we expected it to be bigger than 2 inches in diameter from the description. It reminded us of dishes at Alo which my partner believes does not fit with the theme of Honest Weight.
Overall, Honest Weight is a fun and non-pretentious place to go for good seafood. The only downside is that the dishes were overpriced. Fish sandwiches at the Fish Store in College are just as good but are almost half the price. That being said, Honest Weight is a great concept and is worth checking out!
