although i typically don't have dessert, the butterscotoh bread pudding which features a whiskey cream, strawberry compote intrigued me enough to give it a try -- topping-off a surprisingly perfect evening.

discount coupon led us to try this marvelous restaurant!. we were in everett friday for a late afternoon meeting and decided to try the prohibition gastropub because we had a discount coupon. we would never have "tripped across" them otherwise.
we received a very friendly greeting upon entering the restaurant and were seated in a nicely decorated dining area in the back of the restaurant.
as it turns out, this restaurant, previously known as the prohibition grille, was featured on a december 2012 episode of kitchen nightmares on fox-tv. although i've seen the show, i missed this particular episode, so again, i probably would never have tried this wonderful restaurant had it not been for the discount coupon!
my companion and i each had a glass of wine, split a wedge salad and shared a couple of entrees. although the "wine by the glass" selections were fairly limited, we had no trouble finding a decent washington cabernet and napa valley chardonnay that paired well-enough with the fish and chips and ipa bbq shrimp entrees we decided to share.
the fish and chips were unremarkable, albeit, perfectly prepared (so many restaurants either don't get the oil hot enough or overcook the fish) and featured an intriguing granny smith apple-based slaw. but, the ipa bbq shrimp and spicy cajun sausage was unbelievable!

our waitperson, andrea, was new, a little nervous, but very friendly. she really had nothing to be nervous about. she did agreatjob!
several members of the staff asked how our dinner was and thanked us for coming in as we departed. we will definitely be back!
