    Absolutely phenomenal dinner! Both steak & lobster were fantastic! The oysters, wow, we got a second order for dessert. Our server, Elvira, was a delight! Friendly & knowledgeable, she was lovely. All the staff we interacted with were great! Recommend 💯

    Worst meal in 2 weeks in Nova Scotia. Chef has no idea how to put a plate together. Waitress is oppressive. Large restaurant was empty.

    It is a nice spot and conveniently located but the food was so so. The peach salad was overly bitter, had very little cheese and the peaches appeared canned. The pineapple with the crab cakes was canned and it looked like a dieter's plate. There was very little on it. The staff was very nice.
