It also may have helped that we were <i>starving</i> at the time. :) Our fish was light and really moist inside so we enjoyed it. I do agree about the prices. The fish itself wasn't too bad, but it seems especially crazy to have to pay for fries separately from the fish. I mean, that's usually why it's called fish 'n chips.

Sometimes going to a restaurant while they're still working out their kinks doesn't give the most flattering picture of a place. I didn't hate it, but... I felt pretty blah about it. Hopefully it's because they're still working out their kinks. I went with my kids shortly after it opened, and we tried an array of stuff off the menu, including both spanish (which were drowned in sour cream and the chili sauce, to the point of being revolting) and regular fries (which I unreasonably compared to Frites version). The kids were delighted, and snorked it down. I was... tepid. I tried the octopus and nibbled on the other fried food, yet the little fried food I did have sat in my stomach like a brick, which very good fried food doesn't usually do. The asparagus, I will say, was great. Counterbalancing that, though, was a bit of sticker shock. I hadn't expected dinner at a counter place, with no booze and no more than two items each, to be quite so expensive. Maybe I went too soon?
