fish choice:
1 2 3 4 5
a bunch of variations of cod plus a little perch and a few crustaceans thrown in for good measure

fish to batter ratio:
1 2 3 4 5
way more fish than batter

This is preferable to too much batter.

crispiness of batter:
1 2 3 4 5
pretty crispy, but not so thick that it had a chance to get super crispy

freshness/fishiness:
1 2 3 4 5
we suspect frozen; no traces of fishiness, though

It was good, but a little dense and on the bland side, so it seemed as if it must have been preserved before it was cooked.

texture of fish:
1 2 3 4 5
kind of chewy, but not like rubber

It wasn't so much rubbery as it was dense.

condiments:
1 2 3 4 5
lemon, orange, tartar sauce, ketchup

coleslaw:
1 2 3 4 5
super creamy

I had a salad with REAL mixed greens and REAL blue cheese crumbles. It was awesome. It even had cherry tomatoes. I was not expecting an actual salad. Places like this tend to serve iceberg. Actually, EVERYWHERE tends to serve iceberg. So I was VERY pleased.

Nate says the coleslaw was cream with a side of cabbage. They get points for even being able to make the coleslaw unhealthy. It was fresh, though.

fries:
1 2 3 4 5
Those were good fries.

bread:
1 2 3 4 5
raisin bread, bread sticks, Italian with sesame

The Italian bread was tasty in the most run-of-the-mill way. They probably source it from the same bakery as everywhere else. It's good bread. What can we say? Maybe even Sciortino's from down the block. Meanwhile, what was up with the raisin bread?

beer:
1 2 3 4 5
all Miller all the time

Despite the fact that it was totally representin' 'sconni style with the Miller products, I did have the one delicious import and it was a knockout: Franzeskaner Hefe-Weiss. Bonus: Spotted Cow on tap.

smokiness
1 2 3 4 5
had to walk through smoky bar to get there

The bar looked totally freakin' awesome in that old skool kinda way. But still, it was smoky in that old skool kinda way, too. There was a geriatric drinking party going on. We found out where the locals are spending their social security checks. The dining area was smoke free and fabulous.



'sconni-ness
1 2 3 4 5
right up there with cheese curds and brats

We absolutely MUST mention that the interior of the place was an unexpectedly fabulous wonderland beyond all expectations. We had no idea there would be giant Art Nouveau stained glass, back-lit portraits of fancy ladies in flowing robes. Who knew? It felt like a place Frank Sinatra would have gone. There were also wonderful lamps everywhere. It was almost as good as the Hob Nob. ALMOST. And don't forget: Holy Fake Flowers, Batman! Like a funeral at a wax museum.



service
1 2 3 4 5
very 'sconni

The server was prompt and served with style. She had the Hefe-Weiss twist down pat.

speediness
1 2 3 4 5
fast as hell

kid friendliness
1 2 3 4 5
Dunno. None there. Maybe not so friendly. We were the youngest people by about 60 years.
