I'm gonna be honest with y'all when I came here, I thought I was lost and at the wrong place. This just feels totally out of place with where it is located at. I thought I was at an office instead of a restaurant, that is until I looked closer and saw the outside patio area. The places you find using the Yelp app never ceases to amaze me.
I was hungry after a long trip and finishing up the day with errands. I wanted to have a good meal before settling in for the night. I came at the right time here because the place wasn't too full. I was seated almost immediately and had a menu in hand. I was also given a few minutes to look over the menu. The menu is small but has the right combination of items to offer. Once my server came back I asked what the difference was between the two fish dishes. The more expensive (best way to describe it) was a much bigger portion, the lesser expensive one was a sandwich. I had asked if one would be like fish and chips and she said that the smaller portion could be served without a bun and be considered that, so that the one I went with.
After the order went in I was contemplating for a beer to go with. I had asked about the different ones they have on tap and instead of describing it, I was given a sample, which is much better to make a decision instead of thinking what it might taste like. So with that, I decided on Shark Tracker draft. Great taste, not too heavy and went amazingly with my meal.
When my meal did arrive, I was surprised. Because when I was told that it is less food, it did not look like less food. The sandwich was a decent size and the rest of the plate was filled with hand cut fries. This also came with a pickle to round out the plate. There was barely any empty space on the plate. The Napa slaw went well with the fish for the sandwich. Great taste combination. And who can complain about hand cut fries?
After I finished my meal I had asked my server what there was to do around the area as I had no real agenda while I was here. She gave me some pretty great suggestions so that I had some idea on what do to with my time here. I did end up going into Portsmouth and do some walking around, she was right, it's like a mini Boston. Thank you for taking the time to give me your insight on the area.
