Comment: If your passion is fashion: Milan. If gambling gets you going: Vegas. If you only have eyes for Elvis: Graceland. If you’re me: the Villa Tap…
The Villa is my Mecca, an undisputed Fish Fry prophet in a sea of beer and cheese. I rolled in, ordered my perch and sat ready to soak in the sin.
The perch came as promised: Ohio-sized but fried to per(ch)fection. These fillets are larger than the ones Chico usually brings in here, but don’t be fooled, these freshwater finsters hold all the hallmarks of the real deal. They are silky and sweet with a soft texture and subtle pull. The superbly-seasoned breading clings to every crevice but breaks easily, giving way at just the right time. It’s art in its purest form.
Not all pilgrimages end in a divine vision, and the freezer fries are pious without being pretentious. Chico’s tartar is a tastebud tickler, the slaw is just sassy enough, and the crusty little bun brings a little more body to the plate. All in all, they help fill things out, but the perch is definitely the crown jewel in this collection.
I’ve always been a huge proponent of the Villa, but only recently realized how important a place it truly is. It’s my ride or die. The place I take people I really want to impress. The best of the best. Overall, we highly recommend this Fish Fry and enthusiastically at that.www.facebook.com/ChicosVillaTap/?sk=timeline&app_data
