I thought I had written about this, but I guess I didn't. The halibut was probably the best piece of cooked fish I've ever eaten. Everything was perfectly balanced, and I even liked the snapper dish, despite not really liking any of the ingredients particularly well on their own. I also had a cocktail and two glasses of cider, and tastes of at least three other people's desserts. I could go back there all the time. We'll try the tavern side next time.
