    Everything was fantastic! Food and service was outstanding! Waitress was very attentive! The kicker was the end, one of the employees wanted to go home and it was cold out, in order for him to go home he had to make sure all the outdoor seating was open again before he left, so he opened all the outdoor seating and we sat and froze until we were finished. We were not the only ones seated there either!! That should definitely not be done until everyone is gone from that area of the restaurant.

    Great place to relax during the Sea Food Festival. We had a nice table on the upper balcony to see the crowd below. Ennjoyed the music and entertainment. Food was great, lobster, hamburgers and fried fish.

    Had a French onion burger ordered medium. Wasn’t really pink in the middle and wasn’t very juicy. Would expect a better sandwich for the price you pay. Other than that the cosmos were great

    We celebrated my 75th birthday last night…everything was excellent. Our waiter Peter was outstanding. We enjoyed our roasted chicken dinners. The Trefethen Cabernet Sauvignon wine was top notch.

    Probably the most extensive wine list I've ever seen. Still, the California cabernet Sauvignon available by the glass was lovely. Market salad, a wonderful collection of greens, beets, goat cheese with wonderful additional seasonings, was fabulous. Crab cakes (appetizer portion) were crab filled with a delicious tartar sauce...very flavourful. My husband had a perfectly prepared rib eye steak with excellent baked potatoes. Everything on the plate is there to add flavour to the whole meal. Daniel made sure we were pleased with our selections and offered impeccable service. A great evening which we'll remember for a long time.
