What a great old-school spot and a fantastic meal! A throwback to neighborhood bar style tavern, but updated to include custom cocktails and scratch-made food.
We came on Friday night for their famous Lenten fish fry and it did not disappoint. We ordered the full-meal version of the dinner which included a cup of New England clam chowder, fried fish, pierogis, man-c-cheese and cole slaw. I started off my meal with a Polish beer called Okicim which was crisp and light and paired well with my fish dish.
The clam chowder came out first and it was creamy and had large, chewy chunks of clam. One of my dining companions said it was the best New England style chowder she'd ever had. Then the main plate came out, overflowing with food! The fried haddock was plump, juicy and flaky with a slightly sweet, crisp batter. The accompanying tartar sauce was quite tangy and complimented the fish perfectly. The two pierogis had been finished / grilled on the flattop and topped with caramelized onions and sour cream...delish! The (shell pasta) mac-n-cheese was super-creamy and gooey and the cole slaw was super-creamy as well.
We were all so super-stuffed that to-go boxes were in order, making for a great leftover meal later. Anxious to get back some other time and try other things on the menu...heard good things about their burger and fun guy Philly, so we will most certainly be back!
