I had the new premium hand cut codfish fillet sandwich from Wendy's tonight (ok, I'm *really* sick right now and my SO bought one for me while she was out, don't ask me why, I think the fever is making me crazy and makes me crave bad things).

Well lets see here... it's a fish sandwich. It's better than the filet-o-fish. My fever is probably screwing with my ability to judge things clearly, but it actually tasted decent. The breaded coating on the fish tasted a bit bitter, a sign of overused oil, or overcooked batter, not sure which.

Overall it just makes me want to fry up some perch or pickerel fillets and make a fresh fish sammy from scratch.

I had the grilled swordfish burger for lunch today. It came with the side of mixed greens salad with a light balsamic vinaigrette. The grilled fish was smudged with a light tartar sauce and a bed of roquette. Would recommend.

Service was a little erratic... I didn't mention this in the posts above because they had just opened so I figured it was growing pains but now, months in, i am starting to wonder. So, today, it took a few minutes before our waitress came to take drinks order, then, it took 15 min to look for a wine which turned out was sold out. Then, it took another 10 minutes for the second selection of wine bottle to arrive. After that, things rolled, food came and we got bills in a timely manner. It's just a little unpredictable for a table of downtown workers who have limited time for lunch. Anyways, hope it is just a glitch and that things will sort itself out as I really enjoy the fresh and well prepared food.
