The Pickled Perch - Colchester

If you're craving fish and chips, I suggest heading to Twiggs or Rozzi's instead. Our waitress was fantastic, but unfortunately, she seemed to be the only staff member working that day. I understand that staffing shortages are a common issue right now, so waiting an hour and then an additional 10 minutes for our meal wasn't too surprising. However, when we finally received our fish and chips, we were disappointed to find only 6-8 ounces of fish paired with just a handful of fries. The most frustrating part was our $50 bill. If you're looking for a quality entrée, I highly recommend Twiggs—they serve generous portions of fish fillet along with a full basket of fries. Now, on to dinner number two.

The food is excellent, and the homemade sauces and dips are simply delightful. The outdoor terrace is a fantastic feature!

Food quality is a top notch! Only complaint (no error of the server) seemed to have only one waitress at the staff who made the order a little slower and dirty the surrounding tables/launding (outside). Would go back.

We had the Salmon and the fish tacos. Both were great. The service was fast and friendly, and a superb lake view. Highly recommended.

I made a reservation because it was recommended. I was visiting from out of town. They sat us when we arrived at a barely clean table. With nothing on it. The view is across the street from the water. The flow of customers was constant. The waitress greeted us and got us drinks. We had asked for water, she informed us they had no clean glasses at that time, but she would get to it. She seemed frazzled and I understand staff shortages. After her taking water to another table we ask a host for water and still informed no clean glasses. Also told silverware was being cleaned and wrapped. Needless to say we ordered our food which took about 35-40 minutes for 2 pasta dishes. Got water and silverware after entrees were served. Asked for salt and pepper and bread. Told they don?t have bread. So it?s basically $20 pasta dishes no salad and no bread. We witnessed tables get up and leave before ordering and tables wait extensively for dishes to be cleared and for the check.
