    Food was good just a little overpriced, $3.50 for a scoop of ice cream on my dessert, $3.00 for a tiny dish of marinara sauce. Otherwise service was good

    The noise lever was at a very acceptable level. In the past that has been my only complaint about this place but last night it was fine.

    Not sure the point of booking a reservation to be sat next to the service entrance and bathrooms when specifically told it was a birthday and Tibbs Eve an no where near the live music. Fish cakes were tasteless and tartar sauce was overpowering. Fish tacos were just spicy and tasteless.

    Service was a little slow and our order was missed but they put a rush on it once they realized the error and it came out very quickly and was delicious. We’ve been here before and will keep coming as we all have an off night! Great place!

    Delicious garlic fingers!! I would eat these for every meal. The other food on the menu is also tasty and it’s a good bang for your buck. Staff is friendly and the location is easily accessible and clean. It is a little louder of a venue but not so loud that you can’t hear your table mates. Just something to consider with whatever vibe you’re looking for. Would definitely recommend and will return.

    I used Open Table to book a reservation for 6pm. Upon arrival a gentleman greeted us in an unfriendly manner. There didn't seem to be a reservation for us but after a few minutes, he found it…I guess? He made no eye contact with me and didn't speak with me directly even though I was right in front of him. He turned to a staff member and said a table number and that was it. No apology for the confusion or enjoy your dinner. He was unpleasant and dismissive. I'm guessing he was a manager or the manager….perhaps he was having an off night? Nonetheless, dissapoiting behaviour for someone in the service industry and a poor example for his staff. The food was good and the service was excellent.

    Always enjoy Blowers & Grafton! The fish & chips are great & the seafood chowder was also delicious . Good size portions & friendly service. Parking can bit a bit of a problem at peak times & I always make a reservation. Enjoy!
