I've driven by Manlius Fish Fry a hundred times and it's always been a place my internal monologue…read morewould perk up and say "gee I really should try that place sometime". I'm not sure what happened but I finally busted through my own reticence with my internal self and popped in on a Friday to grab some fish. Upon entering, I was a bit surprised to see that it doubles as a Mediterranean restaurant. The decor seems to suggest both cuisines and was an interesting mix for sure. Orders can be done at the counter or via their website. I opted for counter service and was nicely greeted and taken care of. As I waited, the place started filling up with folks waiting for online orders as well as with a couple Dash or Grubhub drivers. I was there 15 minutes or so before my food was ready but in those 15 minutes I saw a lot of orders coming in, a lot of confusion in whose order was ready or not (they need to work on their system), and some frustration with folks waiting for orders. Being busy was encouraging to see for me, but the mounting frustration of customers waiting on online orders made met think the counter was the right way to go. Onto the meal. It was...fine. Nothing stood out to me. The haddock was cooked well but was a little greater than I prefer. The fries were plentiful. I'm not sure I would go out of my way to grab fish from here, but would give them a shot on their other food.

I ordered the tropical salmon and was side eyeing the coconut a little, but wow... it all came together perfectly. Sweet, tangy, and the salmon was cooked exactly right. Service never disappoints, and whoever was behind the bar deserves a shoutout because that blackberry margarita was dangerous. I went back for round two and I'm not sorry about it. Dessert was a dense chocolate cake that didn't even last long enough for a photo, which says everything. Consistently good food, fabulous drinks, and a cozy atmosphere that makes you feel like family.

The views here are breathtaking, and the outdoor restaurant area is fully covered so while you can enjoy outdoor dining, there is no sun in your eyes, and it is just a little bit cooler than sitting in the sun. The menu is quite nice and many of the women I were with ordered a Smashburger, which they loved.. I ordered the Waldorf salad, which was generously portioned both lettuce and chicken salad. It was just perfect with enough mayonnaise, walnuts, and grapes to go with the chicken. Our waitress was so wonderful that she actually came around and did separate checks with us. Who would've thought? Wonderful food, wonderful company, and outstanding scenery.

It was served with two large pieces of toasted bread, which was a sort of ciabatta. In fact, this soup was better than anything I've had in Scotland.

Had I known the soup was so rich, I would've ordered a salad to go with it. So I am now stuck with a half of a shepherds pie to dig into for dinner tonight, such a problem to have. The atmosphere is simply lovely and this is a restaurant that I could imagine. My parents dining at back in the 1950s. There is a small gift shop, which is really fun to go through.
