The Scene
Expats and curious Americans have been popping into Tea and Sympathy to sample the curiosities of British cuisine for years. Now they only have to go next door to find authentic fish 'n' chips, wrapped in a London newspaper to boot.
The Food
The key element to a proper British chip is fat, and the flabby, pale yellow specimens here come close to the ideal. If you really love them, try the chip buttie (a chip sandwich, essentially). Either way, salt and vinegar are essential. It's probably best to stick to the simpler fish dishes (halibut, salmon, whiting and cod plus lots of crispy batter); variations like fish cakes are less reliable. Don't be afraid of the deep-fried Mars Bar for dessert: it's delicious.

If this place is award winning, why all the negative feedback?? I plan on going here once I get to NYC this Summer.

Ok, so if you've seen it on Throwdown with Bobby Flay and it's peeked your interest and you want to try it, go ahead, I did. The place is very small with minimal room to sit. When you get out of there you'll smell like frying oil. The drinks are WAAAAYYYY over priced (and i'm talking about soda, not beer). The tartar sauce wasn't as good as they said it would be, it was too greasy and bland. The fish itself was cooked properly but I think they don't change the oil too often because there was a thick film of grease around it. All in all, and i'm very critical, it was just ok. It would be a lot better if they drained the fish before serving it to get some of the excess oil out of the batter.
