Food was excellent , as was the service by our waiter, Grace. How ever, we were celebrating a special anniversary (52years), and although both host and waitress were aware of this, but other than wishes of happiness no special treat was offered. This is my first restaurant visit I didn’t enlven get a cupcake in honour of the occasion.

Jamie was our server; knew when and what we needed before we even asked. I appreciate the recommendations and we thoroughly enjoyed the food. The Shrimp Cocktail has 12 shrimp, and the piece of Fish with the Fish and Chips was so big my wife and I didn’t eat it all. Best Fish and Chips I’ve ever had. The filet was attached to the breading and was clean and white through and through! I recommend this restaurant!
