Last night I stopped by Rock Bottom with some friends for a late dinner & drinks. I ordered the fish & chips. I love fish & chips and this was the first time I had seen Salmon instead of white fish. The menu described it as Ale-battered, alder-smoked salmon served with fries, Brewery slaw, malt vinegar and homemade remoulade sauce... All I know is that it was yummy.
I also had the DreamWeaver Wheat Ale. Both selections were very good - the fish had a great taste - nicely crisp on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. Good fries and a satisfying beer. My friends split some type of steak dish with vegetables. Both commented on how good it was.
Finish off with a small dessert - they had this little mini chocolate peanut butter cookie thing for $2.50. Small, but good.
The dining area was spacious - I have bad seating karma. I am a big dude and for some reason they love to sit me in the smallest places. Three of us were put at a bar table in the bar, when there were open booths near by. At least I got to see the football game. What surprised me was that on a Friday night, it wasn't very busy. Soon after we arrived, other booths cleared out, the bar was down to two gus at opposite ends - not what I would expect for a brewery on Friday night. Maybe they should have more happy hour specials and get people to come out?
Good food, good beer and the server was excellent. The atmosphere a little dead.
