Overall: Lukewarm, overcooked disappointing fish and seafood meal.
Appetizer: crispy calamari was lukewarm and greasy.
Main course mixed grill: swordfish was way overcooked and lukewarm, crab cake was a perfect round disk, hot from deep fryer but bland and likely came from a box, cold smoked salmon was good, potatoes were hot and the rest of vegs lukewarm.
Main course: Trout with citrus compote - trout was overcooked but not as bad as above, citrus compote was a couple of slices of orange and grapefruit.
Portions were too small.
Service was efficient and cool.
After shopping a friend and I decided we were having a fish and chip craving so we decided to try the Bells Corners location for the first time. It was relatively busy on a Wednesday afternoon at 1p.m-a good sign. We had the haddock and chips-excellent -with crispy fries, good tiny coleslaw and yummy tartar sauce, lemon wedge. Fast and friendly service with an open style kitchen-you can see what they are doing in there. Everything coming from the kitchen looked good and no fishy smell when you go in like some places. Will be back.
