The plan is to add a few different post a day about the new things I'm trying in my life.

     So last night I took my daughter out for supper.  I got the idea to google restaurants in the area.  I clicked on Peterborough Restaurants: Guide to the Best Restaurants & Reviews ... which took me to a site called Restaurantica.  From there I decided I'd like to have fish so on the right hand side of the page you can choose what your looking to eat.  I was directed to http://www.restaurantica.com/f/on/peterborough/fish/ and  Nicholls Oval Restaurant jumped out at me because it was close by and I'd wondered about it.  Here was the blog I read:

"Best Fish and Chips in Town"
This place has the best fish and chips in all of Peterborough! I had a 2 piece halibut dinner and it was SO GOOD. They batter the fish themselves so its not super thick, and they cut the fries themselves too. My friend had the chicken fingers, and they were homemade too. They'll even serve you breakfast in the middle of dinner for an extra dollar, which is totally fine because their breakfast prices are already so cheap! My boyfriend got the breakfast special and the home fries were grilled, not deep-fried. I've been there a few times now and the place gets really busy on the weekend. Its probably best to go during the week days, so that the service is that much more awesome. Still, our servers have always been very friendly and attentive.

         I ordered the 2 piece halibut dinner myself which comes with fires & Caesar salad, my daughter had the kids cheeseburger and fries (which was ate completely - a good sign).  I would agree that the fish & chips is amazing and would say that their food is a 4.0, Services I'd drop to a 4.0 although I was told by the waitress that she was on a 12 hour shift and very tired I felt that she was far from a attentive until we were leaving.  Atmosphere close to closing is closer to that of a 3.0 as a couple of people left without ordering due to the waitresses welcome which left the customers feeling like they wouldn't have enough time to eat.  I also noticed that they had a spider problem as two walked across our table during the meal.  Honestly not sure if I'd return to eat there, but I might order to go sometime.
