There are three things that bothered me about my visit to this restaurant, and two things that I enjoyed.
* I purchased a Groupon and when I got there, I found out there were restrictions on what I could order. I went back and checked, and it was clearly stated on the Groupon, yet I was still annoyed. I wasn't allowed to order the shrimp or scallops. That made no sense to me. Why are they limiting my selections?
* This place is a fast food joint, yet they are trying to force table service into a facility that clearly isn't designed for it. It just seems silly that I can't order my food at the counter and take my tray back to my table. But okay, if you want to have a server come to my table and take my order, then spruce things up. Put in real tables, not the Burger King things that are there. Don't serve me food in plastic baskets. Don't give me plastic knives and forks.
* The prices are outrageous. It's a fish fry. Two pieces of fried cod, french fries, cole slaw, and a pop are going to run you seventeen dollars. Everything is expensive on the menu. For the prices they charge, I expect a lot better ambiance and presentation.
* Our server was nice. Charlotte, I believe was her name. She seemed invested in making us have a positive experience, so that was welcomed.
* The food was somewhere between good and excellent. The fries were nothing special but fine. The cole slaw was above average. The fried cod was perfectly cooked - flaky and moist. The batter was just okay for me. After a conversation, I was allowed to order the blackened shrimp appetizer and it was outstanding. The tartar sauce, also, was very impressive. It was thinner than one would normally see with nice lemon notes to it. A far cry from your typical mayonnaise mixed with pickle relish.
I wouldn't be against returning because the food is good. However, I can't bring myself to pay these kind of prices when I can get the same type of food at Long John Silver's for a fraction of the cost. Not as good - no doubt. But it's fried fish. I find it difficult to get too snobby about any food you batter and throw in hot oil.
