    Food was mostly great, though the scallops were meh…they had no colour or char on the outside; it was like they had been steamed, pale and a little overcooked. The server seemed annoyed we were there. She was abrupt and we felt rushed. The food also came out incredibly fast, which added to our feeling rushed.

    Excellent food, cozy atmosphere and friendly relaxed service. Loved the scallop appetizer and main halibut dish / both were perfectly prepared with comforting sides, with a twist. Menu clearly identified gluten free options which is always appreciated
