Manhattan's 1-for-1 promotions are back!! The queue is super long and we had to wait ~20minutes before being ushered to a seat. Service was quite friendly though and pretty efficient too, so the queue moves quickly.Went for the Grilled Dory Glory (UP$12.95 per plate!) and a bowl of Clam Chowder ($5.50), both of which came within 10 minutes to our delight!The clam chowder is nothing much, it tastes pretty much like (diluted) mushroom soup with bits of clams in it that had a fishy(?) smell.

Went for the Grilled Dory Glory (UP$12.95 per plate!) and a bowl of Clam Chowder ($5.50), both of which came within 10 minutes to our delight!
The clam chowder is nothing much, it tastes pretty much like (diluted) mushroom soup with bits of clams in it that had a fishy(?) smell. Not that fantastic, but it was warm and welcoming. It went down quite well but we felt it was rather diluted for a chowder.
The main: Grilled Glory Dory came with buttered rice, a side of boiled vegetables, grilled dory with a lemon garlic sauce and a chilli sauce on the side. A special mention to the chilli, it's a tangy, sweet chilli sauce with a hint of lemon grass. Very refreshing when eaten with the fish even though the lemon garlic sauce is good on its own. The buttered rice and the vegetables were slightly disappointing though. The rice had little flavour and the vegetables were slightly overboiled. Other than that, the fish was fresh but not overcooked, and the sauces were splendid!Honestly, the standard dropped by A LOT from the last time I'd visited, and maybe it's just due to the crazy volume of people during the one for one. The meal was worth it though, coming up to only about $10.50 per person! Gotta love promotions!!
