    Good service, nice view. Food just not good. First time there so maybe it’s more of a fish and chip place? Anyway, baked stuffed shrimp really over cooked and stuffing not very tasty. Rice - a lot of it but one bite was enough for me. Broccoli was good. Other meal was scallops that were just a bit overcooked but sweet potato hash was ok. Sorry we won’t be back.

    We have been here many times. Consistently providing excellent food and friendly service. Bar seating can be a bit loud but it's part of the experience. Raw bar servings were fresh and tasty, specials on the menu were interesting. Overall enjoyable experience that keeps us coming back
