We both enjoyed our lunch and we eat there about 6-8 times a year. My favorite is their fish and chips.

We all enjoyed. Had my very favorite and go to Blackened Salmon Salad filled with all kinds of yumminess. we were seated out on the patio, which had heaters and was very very warm. We were right underneath a large heater, and the server had said that they had asked them to turn it down and then it was perfect, but then someone on the other side had complained that it was too hot and nasty their server to open the door and prop it open to the outside, so then it was uncomfortably cold.

Our experience was very satisfactory and the delivery of food was good. However, I was disappointed the Pit Stickers have been removed from the menu. I was looking forward to ordering the Pot Stickers, but to my dismay I was informed they were removed from the menu.
