We went in right when they opened today. The server never greeted us at the door with a hello and a smile, she just pointed at the table she wanted us to sit at, from behind the cash register; her vibe was a little negative (not a big deal, though).

The music was very loud and clubby-sounding. I was there with my wife and 2.5 year old son - we're an obvious, quiet, middle-aged couple with children. The server did not read the room very well (we were the only people there), so I politely asked her to turn down this music - She said ok, but I don't think she actually turned it down (maybe from like 50 to 49). With the vibe that she had already set when we arrived, I didn't want to bother her more (and end up feeling even more of a negative vibe), so I just let is be and hoped that the food would at least be good.

We ordered a large size, boneless, cheese powder chicken. We were quite disappointed. It was like deep fried battered air. It's all batter, no chicken - seriously, when you pick up each piece … each piece is super light, because there's next to no chicken inside. The entire serving was also really light. I only felt the weight of the plate it was served on. I read a lot of reviews about the portions being huge ... yes, they look huge, but if you feel the actual weight, it's nothing, just deep fried battered air. Not Good. We ate the heaviest pieces we could find, only ate maybe 1/4 of it. We gave the rest away to a random person. Waste of $60. Perhaps maybe we should have ordered bone in? (they charge extra for boneless, though).

They gave us free cheesy corn though, which was nice (and tasty). The fries were ok. The interior décor is nice as well. I'm sure the server is a nice person, maybe she was just having a bad day. She could have turned the music down, though ... My wife said it's likely more of a place for young people, not families, so maybe I was being unreasonable by asking her?

I recently visited The Fry, a restaurant known for its unique and delicious menu. I tried two items from the menu, the Rosé Rice Cake and Cheesy Corn, and was thoroughly impressed.

We had the Rosé Rice cake and the Cheesy Corn which costed $18.99 and $8.99 respectively.

Rosé Rice Cake

The Rosé Rice Cake was a perfect blend of flavors and textures. The dish was served hot and the rice cake was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The flavors of the dish were well-balanced, with the sweetness of the rose sauce complementing the saltiness of the rice cake. The dish was topped with a sprinkle of sesame seeds, which added a nice crunch to the overall texture.

Cheesy Corn

The Cheesy Corn was a delight to the taste buds. The dish was served in a small bowl and was piping hot. The corn was perfectly cooked and the cheese was gooey and melted, making every bite a pleasure. The dish was seasoned well, with a hint of spice that added a nice kick to the overall flavor.

The quantity for both was good enough for two people. The sauce of the Rosé rice cake was amazing and it was accompanied with bacon strips and sausages which was a treat for the tastebuds.

Ambience and Service

The ambience of The Fry was warm and inviting, with soft lighting and comfortable seating. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, which added to the overall dining experience. The service was prompt and attentive, with the waitstaff being knowledgeable about the menu and making recommendations based on our preferences.

In conclusion, my experience at The Fry was excellent. The Rosé Rice Cake and Cheesy Corn were both outstanding, and the overall ambience and service were top-notch. I would highly recommend The Fry to anyone looking for a unique and delicious...
