As a Beacher, I can attest that this place is truly no better than the joint it replaced: Quigleys. It's quite pricey however what you're paying for is that fine patio on the east side of the property....within 10 steps of Ed's Ice Cream in one direction and The Remarkable Bean in the other, this is prime Beach real estate.
I've eaten here probably about a dozen times since it opened and here's what I've noticed:
- Nachos - they use canned tomato sauce instead of salsa or chili or even just leaving them plain. I've always had to special order them and remind the server to bring sour cream and guac.
- Fish and Chips - these were the most popular item on their menu and rightly so....fish was hand dipped and chips were done to perfection. BUT.....they've gotten cheap and are using some frozen fish patties now. Can you say Captain Highliner?
- Burgers - these used to be a signature item however they've gone cheap with these too Previously made with hand formed fresh patties......the restaurant is now using cheap frozen pre-formed patties.
And even with lesser quality (aka cheaper items) being served the prices have never been lowered.
If you want a couple of drinks on the patio, go for it.....if you want a decent meal head elsewhere.
