3 /5 Chris Parker: Great tasting food, location, and a clever use of gondolas for private booths, but the pricing is a bit extreme and questionable on certain food. If you have the money, I recommend it, but if you are a bit more on a budget and with a bigger group I might give it a pause.
The waiter was good and would frequently show up every 5-10 minutes to make sure everything was alright on our end, and the food was actually served fairly quickly compared to other places Ive been to, so the waiting time wasnt unreasonable from what I experienced.
The gondola booths that theyve added are a neat device to get past covid regulations from back in the day and it definitely adds to the atmosphere and feeling of the location. If they could add something, maybe having rgb lights for mood would be cool so you could adjust the lighting in your booth? Either way, they were neat.
The downside of Guppys was that the pricing felt a bit unreasonable. Their iconic meal was $30, which is a pretty steep price for the meal. We also bought their "churros and ice cream" dessert which was $12 and I swear it was literally half a scoop of ice cream with one churro split into 4 pieces. Now, it was absolutely delicious and great tasting, but it felt like borderline robbery. I can buy 2-3 gallons of ice cream for $12, so there is no reason ice cream and churros should have half a scoop of ice cream in it. I would suggest making it 2-3 scoops or something like that, as that shouldnt really increase the cost of making the dish by that much since the most expensive part of it is the fried churro.
Again, just want to reiterate that the food tasted great. Compliments to the chef/chefs as the fried haddock was really good, its just that the pricing feels a bit steep for me (and I know that is due to forces outside of the restaurants control).
Lastly, and this isnt a huge issue but constructive criticism, I think it would probably be wise for the menus to be updated visually. The menu layout and design makes it hard to see the pictures on the menu and I think is a disservice to the food that is being sold. Just change the font size, take some new pictures and make them bigger.
Either way, I had a great meal. If you have the money, I would definitely recommend this location.
