    Food was okay at best, chicken barely seasoned. Server barely attentive, but manager who brought out food was nice. Not worth the price.

    The hostess, wait staff very friendly and efficient. The cheeseburger with fries fine but $25 for a burger is expensive. The impossible kababs were WAY over seasoned. I brought home 3/4 of my meal - added a hugh sweet potato and more rice and it was just fine. Even though I love very seasoned food and extra gravy - this was WAY too much. Fish and chips were ok. Halibut was the best meal out of the four. With only one wine - the meal for 4 people was $165 - way too much for what we got.

    Great meal for a lunch of 6 friends meeting for a catch-up. Our server (Sharee) was excellent, respectful of our time together chatting after so long not seeing each other, but keeping us well served throughout orders and the meal. The food was a bit long in coming after we ordered, but with one person's exception, we weren't in a hurry, so it turned out OK. Would recommend again.

    Pretty average, but pricey. Very large portions. Service was disinterested at best.

    Everyone in our party of 7 enjoyed their meal (fried chicken sandwich, steak, salad, fish and chips, french dip). We have come before in groups and the service is always excellent.

    Terrible service. We were seated for 40 minutes before anyone came to take our drink order. Then we got our entree before getting our drinks or the appetizer.

    Generally very good. Excellent oysters at a decent price. Lamb chops ordered medium-rare came in a bit closer to medium. Wine order was mixed up but corrected without question. Friendly service. Kid-friendly attitude, and kid-approved Mac-n-cheese. Would come again, with or without kids.

    I dined here before and thought the experience the first time was better. We had to send back our baked potatoes because they weren’t cooked completely. The other person who was with me ordered a steak and it was not a quality piece and it was overcooked. I’m not sure I would come back
