by Shica R. on I needed a quick bite after work one day, before a meeting and was over P'Tree Center Food Court, so I took a little time to run up to O'Terrill's, which prior to this experience, I loved. Since I was getting an order to-go, I did what I never have done before, went to the bar to place my order. This is a place that allows folks to still smoke, so we can only imagine how my poor lungs were reacting when I've been suffering from an upper respritory infection for a few days now. I noticed that they had modified the menu since my last visit, so I decided to get an order of their homemade chips and a nice, fruity salad with blackened tilapia on it. I forgot that they charge for to-go containers, so the simple meal was $15. No biggie, grabbed my order, ran out of the smokers den and hopped on the road to where I needed to go. I knew that I smelled fish a little bit, but in being in the bottom container in the plastic bag AND considering that I am more than a little stopped up, I kept on moving. I grabbed a chip as I was driving - oh... that is chewy, crunchy in another part, and COVERED in salt. Oh, dear. Tried another... it was covered in a salt bath, though crunchy all the way through. I ended up having to rub every single chip with a napkin to knock off the excess salt for it to be halfway edible. Oh, well... at least I have my salad. I opened it up, YES... that's a lot of fish! Lets get ready. Oh, but WHAT is that smell? I looked at the fish, sniffed it up close. I don't know if it wasn't done. I don't know if it wasn't fresh. I just know that it smelled like HELL. I was about to sit through a gathering with high school students for 2 hours with some stinky fish to eat, salty chips being the only thing on my stomach, I was not happy. I decided to put the fish in the other container, eat the salad portion and return the fish once the meeting was over. I went in to the smoky place after my meeting and told the bartender that the fish was not good in the most tactful, quiet way I could. He was puzzled, 'they've been serving it all day long, how could this be'. He asked if I wanted chicken instead. Eh... chicken hasn't hurt too many folks before, sure. He throws in some of the Bailey's cake that I've always eyeballed on the menu for free and I went about my merry way. Now, when he asked if I wanted the chicken, silly me assumed that he meant did I want the same dish that I purchased with chicken on it. Well, they gave me some overcooked chicken breasts, smothered in some bitter tasting cheese, with a side of sliced tomatoes and green apples with a roll. Hmm... So, the 2 stars given are for the bailey's cake and the effort to handle it correctly. One star taken for the smoky bar, the raw fish, and the weird meal combination that I ended up with.
