It's cheap, service is usually good, and it's nicer than the sum of it's parts. Les Gourmandaise is pretty formal but the food is interesting and good. Greenes is nice too and a nice setting. Orso is great but small and a little different. Personally like the Cornstore if you you fancy a good cocktail with pretty standard but enjoyable food but some people here hate it. To be honest you can't really go wrong!

Take a look at the menus online. Bistro style: Market Lane, Elbow lane (may not be back open yet), Orso, Club Brasserie (I love this place, decor is great in there, very old style "club"). Totally out there, wacky kind of place, can be awesome, can be a disaster but I love it: Ivory Tower. It's irish japanese fusion. All of the above will have fish along with other things on the menu. For just fish, Quinlans (very casual), or the Fish Bar above the electric are good. And just for something a bit different, I'll throw in Cafe Paradiso as well. It's vegetarian, but like nothing you've had before. If it's my birthday, that's where I go.https://paradiso.restaurant/

Maybe some fella brought me there to impress me long long ago, when I was in college, and I didn't think much of him, and my impression of him rubbed off on the place. I'll give it another go sometime. Are the tables and chairs still crappy?
