Customer Reviews
My coworkers and I ordered lunch for delivery. Was so excited after reading great reviews. I am honestly flabbergasted because what we received was nothing but a pile of grease. The only "taste" was like drinking a Luke warm fryer grease. For $20 each we got 1 shrimp, 2 scallops, and the saddest lump of flavorless fish in a soggy breaded grease casing. I think I could have wrung out the soggy breading and had a cup of grease. No seasoning (again unless you count fryer grease as a flavor). Disappointing is an understatement. I feel the pile of tasteless grease slop in the pit of my stomach and it's making me quesy and sad. Can't review atmosphere as we did not go to restaurant.
I had my first taste of Scottish cuisine from this place last Saturday after work. Although I do not eat seafood and the majority of food served therein consisted of fish, I was able to have the Scottish meat pie and even the apple pie for myself.
There can be no doubt this restaurant has the most delicious food. Unfortunately, the portion of fish to batter is ridiculous. There was nothing but batter mostly and we left hungry after paying sixty dollars for greasy fried dough and two tiny potatoes. We're so sad and disillusioned.
A lovely place with old style charm. Just a shame the food was terrible I ordered traditional fish and chips, the chips tasted like they had been recooked from the previous night and the fish tasted, well frozen and overcooked. It had a tiny pot of tartar sauce and a small pot of coleslaw. The portion was very small and frankly overpriced My wife had the Scottish pie which was squishy and wet. It's a bit out of our way so we won't be going back for a second try. The service was good and the location was nice.
The Thistle was recommended by a coworker and boy did it not disappoint! Very friendly staff who clearly take pride in their work and want customers to be satisfied. Delicious fish and chips, we had the beet and onion salad, New England Clam Chowder and a broiled fish/shrimp platter. Two desserts that were delicious as well. Very fair prices for quality food. Very clean restaurant and a great experience overall. We will definitely make this a regular.
