| - I had the fish and chips plus the lobster bisque.
The bisque was a much larger serving than usual, and it's very thick and rich. I could only eat half. My wife said the leftovers, reheated later, we're still good. Personally, I'd prefer something not as overwhelming.
I got the larger size of the fish, which was a mistake. I'd asked first, and the server described it only as two pieces of fish, four shrimp and some fries. He didn't mention that each piece of fish was bigger than the plate.
The breeding to flesh ratio for the fish was high. As a result, the taste of the fish was masked. Ditto for the shrimp. I wish restaurants wouldn't butterfly their fried shrimp. It should offer some resistance to the tooth and a satisfying snap. Flattened, there's no snap and the flavor doesn't get released.
Overall, I got the impression of a family restaurant that had higher aspirations but couldn't meet them. Not a bad choice for the neighborhood, though.
