    Baked Haddock dinner wasn’t that hot; menu description unclear about what comes with, serving vegetables in a bowl, seems odd! Overall a busy place, pleasant waiter, good quality just ok…

    The waiter that served us was excellent! The appetizers we had were well seasoned and tasteful. Unfortunately, we saw a mouse running around near the bar area so we stopped eating, spoke with the manager . The manager was accommodating but we decided not to continue with our dinner.

    Always fantastic. Beware that the restaurant validates parking only after 4:30 pm, so if you are going for lunch, parking in the wharf lot will be expensive. 90 minutes cost me $44.00.

    Food was delicious, serving sizes were generous and the atmosphere was perfect. Would definitely come back again. Lobster roll was enough for sharing and kids menu was more than enough for a 6yo and 10yo. Great beverage menu as well.
