English's is located on the second floor, above Double Helix. Maybe because it was New Year's Day and Town Square was pretty dead, but the restaurant had a weird feeling to it.
We were sat instantly, no wait. But it was weird because almost all of the inside tables were dirty and needed to be bussed. In fact, by the end of our meal, none of those tables had been cleaned. It was also a little odd that when we were leaving the hostess was sitting outside the front door, smoking, and said "thanks for coming!" I won't think too much on all of that since, again it was New Year's Day, and they were probably shorthanded, but it still made you go "huh?"
We ordered:
*Mussels- mussels, bacon, onions, cider broth ($9.50)
HUGE portion and this was from the Appetizer menu!
Truthfully, I didn't understand the bacon in it. I probably would have preferred the flavors of the entree of mussels and maybe I should have asked if it came in the appetizer portion. I couldn't finish the portion, that's how big it was! But the mussels themselves were delicious!
*Cod & Chips- beer batter, hand cut chips, minted peas ($13.95)
The cod was cooked perfectly and had wonderful flavor! The tartar sauce was excellent! I would definitely order that again!
I would want to come back here for Afternoon Tea or Happy Hour. They have outside seating with heat lamps and a nice bar. So you have some options for seating.
I would be willing to come back again and give it another try.
