   Nice atmosphere, quiet. Service was poor - there were only 3 tables of patrons, but the waitperson never came back to our table after getting our drinks. It was 20+ minutes before she came back to our table and took our order - and she was within 5 feet of us. Food was good, but again after waiting so long, the experience was disappointing.

   Food was delicious. Was disappointed to learn halibut was not available for the sandwich I have come to love. Service was great!

   We celebrated my husband’s big birthday here. It was a big group and was a rainy day so I was a bit worried about our seating arrangements but they gave us indoor corner seats for some privacy. We’re looking for a casual place with good food, good drink selection and solid service, and they totally met our expectations! Their oyster platter was excellent with great value. Seafood poutine was unique and better than what we had in Canada. Seafood stew was great, too. And our friendly and professional waitress helped us enjoy the celebration without stress. My husband was really happy and so were our guests, and even our active 2-year old granddaughter. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

   Not our first time here, but it is the first time we sat outside at the high top tables on the rails. Great for quiet brunch with blues in the background watching the boat, people, and seaplane traffic on Lake Union. Were seated quickly, and were very well taken care of by very nice staff until after our food was served. (After food arrived did not check on us: no coffee refills, no water carafe refills, had to get up to find server. Maybe they were distracted by creaminess of the view? Other than that, really great service). Food was delicious and abundant. Started with the hush puppies - so good! Hubby had the pound cake French toast, flavorful, with generous fruit on top. I had the veggie skillet with smoked salmon - very generous with the salmon and packed with veggies,. We both had leftovers to bring home…. We were a bit chilly sitting outside, even next to a heater, so started with drip coffee, and then switched to French press decaf to finish. Very good… Really like this place.

   Had fish n chips, the fish pieces were heavily breaded and fried to overdone. The fries were ordinary. The grilled halibut was overly seared, but served over very tasty greens (chard?). The salmon salad looked and tasted very nice. For the prices and lower quality of what was served we can't recommend this pub.

   Awesome experience here. Perfect day to sit outside and enjoy some delish fish and chips, chicken sandwiches and bottle of rośe. Restaurant is clean and service is great. You can sit inside or out. Food is yummy and portion is comparable to the price.
