It is hard not to notice this place. If you are into anything fried like I am, especially fish and chips. We’ve been coming here regularly every once in a while when we crave for a nice fried fish.

Located on the 7th floor, Beacon zone. The restaurant seats about 50 people. The seating space is a bit narrow but with high ceilings, clever seating arrangements, good use of wall partitions and glass wall on 3 sides, make up for it. A lot of materials are used in many colors; wood flooring, glass walls, mirrors, red, black, beige, all went along very well. The walls are decorated with photos of Manhattan.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After we were seated, Khun Mai the assistant manager greeted us and took our order. The food here is all about the fried goodies, off-course there are other alternatives. We tried many varieties starting from; Mussels in butter garlic. Mussels were big and juicy complimented by a creamy butter garlic sauce. The Louisiana pawn was also a nice treat. The river pawn was fried and put on an hot iron skillet. At the table the server poured the tasty Louisiana sauce on top, making it sizzle. The pawn was nicely cooked, with a gooey head fat. The Manhattan pawn is covered with a mayonnaise based sauces, interestingly presented with a blow touch at the table.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then comes the main courses, the fish and chips. The tasty large piece of fish was deep fried nicely, crispy outside moist and juicy inside. It comes along with a large portion of fries and served with three sauces; Thai seafood sauce, tartar, Japanese style chopped union roots. Another surprise was the herbal baked fish. A large piece of fish baked with green herbs wrapped in foil. The fish was baked really nice serve with rice. It would be a good alternative for the health conscious. ฺBoth the mains are serve in large portions. For one main 2 can share easily.
