点评:This is the second time I dined at the Gahan House in Fredericton, and probably my last for a while. We came in shortly after 13:00, and were seated quickly. Ordered a beer and wine, and the fish cakes as an appetizer–which tasted homemade, and I would recommend. We ordered our lunch shortly thereafter, and it took close to 35 minutes for it to arrive. I have no concerns about waiting for lunch, but the server was conspicuously absent. Our meal arrived–she had the seafood chowder and I the brown bag chicken and chips. She would recommend the chowder, I would recommend avoiding the chicken.
Above average:
Fish cakes and chowder. They seem to excel with seafood. The seasonal beer (pineapple sour) was tremendous.
Below Average:
The chicken and chips were bad. The breading was under seasoned, dark and brittle and was probably left in the oil too long–not what you want with fried chicken, and more reminiscent of that nautical themed breakfast cereal that cuts the roof of your mouth to pieces. The dipping sauce looked like honey with dried herbs mixed in, but tasted of sweet on sweet. I’d have said something to the server, but they were AWOL the entire time. I’d have bought two more beer, if someone had just asked. The place was nearly empty (four tables occupied), but the staff were preoccupied with a single guest seated at the bar. I watched two of them talk to him for nearly 30 minutes while I’m desperately wanting an iota of their time to order another drink. Alas… ‘twas not to be, and I had to stand up and ask to settle the bill with the first person I could find. With gratuity, worked out to $50 per person.
Overall… a disappointment. My first visit on Tuesday was above average, but yesterday’s experience was average (leaning poor given the total cost). If the experience is a coin flip, I’m not eager to risk $100 on a bad toss, and would probably choose another of the many options in downtown Fredericton.
翻译:这是我第二次在弗雷德里克顿的 Gahan House 用餐,也可能是我一段时间以来的最后一次。我们13:00后不久就进来了,很快就入座了。点了啤酒和葡萄酒,还有鱼饼作为开胃菜——尝起来是自制的,我会推荐。此后不久我们就点了午餐,花了近 35 分钟才送来。我不担心等待午餐,但服务器明显缺席。我们的饭菜到了——她吃了海鲜杂烩,我吃了棕色袋装鸡肉和薯条。她会推荐杂烩,我会建议避免鸡肉。
高于平均水平:
鱼饼和杂烩。他们似乎很擅长吃海鲜。季节性啤酒(菠萝酸)很棒。
低于平均值:
鸡肉和薯条很糟糕。面包屑没有调味,又黑又脆,而且可能在油里呆得太久了——这不是你想要的炸鸡,更让人想起那种航海主题的早餐麦片,它会把你的上颚切成碎片。蘸酱看起来像蜂蜜,混合了干香草,但尝起来甜甜的。我本想对服务员说点什么,但他们一直擅离职守。如果有人问的话,我会再买两瓶啤酒。这个地方几乎是空的(有四张桌子),但工作人员全神贯注于坐在酒吧里的一位客人。我看着他们中的两个人与他交谈了近 30 分钟,而我却非常想抽出一点点时间再点一杯饮料。唉……事实并非如此,我不得不站起来要求与我能找到的第一个人结账。加上小费,每人50美元。
总的来说……令人失望。我周二的第一次访问高于平均水平,但昨天的体验是平均水平(考虑到总成本,很差)。如果体验是一次抛硬币的体验,我不会急于在抛掷失败时冒 100 美元的风险,并且可能会选择弗雷德里克顿市中心的众多选择中的另一个。
