The hazelnut sole really pissed me off, though it was one of the less expensive main courses at $11.99 a pop. You're served two large fillets, each completely covered in a nearly inedible hazelnut coating, the top one smothered in a lemon velouté. Here's a message for Papa McGrath, wherever he may be: This is sole worthy of everlasting damnation! Sole does not need to be mistreated in this manner. You can't even enjoy the fish because of the hazelnutty layer in which McGrath's cooks have entrapped the poor fin-bearer. If Aquaman were still around, he'd hunt down the author of this travesty and feed the criminal to his pet orca Shamu!
Okay, I went a little overboard there. Aquaman didn't have a pet orca, as far as I know. But surely that dweller of the depths would wreak vengeance on McGrath's Fish House, eh? Someone needs to, if only for the poor meals I encountered there. Perhaps this review will suffice until the Super Friends can spare the King of the Sea for a uniquely unsavory mission.
