    The overall ambience was really nice, we lived the upscale diner vibe. Wait staff was extremely knowledgeable and so friendly. It was like being at an East coast fine dining kitchen party! The food was delicious, seafood platter we could have eaten 3. The preserved oyster, scallops our favourite, shrimp and oysters great way to at tart our meal. Soups yum, the chowder was full of seafood so light yet creamy. Fish and chips amazing you have to eat the tartar sauce with it, it really added to the flavour of the fish. Crab dip definitely a must try it was creamy but not an over powered cream cheese flavour a perfect balance. Desserts were delicious but very big and very sweet we had the Hello Dolly and sundae we should have split one dessert between the 3 of us. I wish we had tried the lemon meringue pie. Next time for sure!

    Dailo is always delicious but this time we did winterlicious with a group of 4 - the waiter was smart about it and pre-emptively suggested everyone "ordering" a different item, but brought it out in portions enough for everyone, so that we ended up being able to eat the entire menu! Great value! Would definitely do it again.

    They have all these crazy deals. The stuff was extremely nice and fun to be around. The environment is not chaotic and perfect for girls date or any date tbh. The line up was not crazy at all given the rush. We got our tables very fast even though I made reservations standing right there. 10/10 recommend
