Atmosphere was cozy. We sat outside & there’s patio heaters in case it gets too cold. My wife had the clam chowder in a bread bowl. Clam chowder was awesome. Seemed like a very large bread bowl. She couldn’t finish it. I had the captains platter, fried rock cod, jumbo shrimp & calamari with fries. Everything was crispy & delicious. Came with tarter & cocktail sauce which tasted homemade.

First off all. Odie was an amazing waitress. She was so friendly and gave my LO a sticker. She gave the best advice about food and drinks. I was incredibly happy with the service.

I am going to gush about this place, fair warning! Hands down the best calamari we have ever had… even the grandkids will eat it. The wait staff are funny engaging and happy. We ate there twice in 2 days…

This place wasn’t bad, but we will probably not go back. The grilled sardines were good. However, their shellfish tasted frozen, which is not what you want from a place on the water. Especially when paying a premium price

Very good food and friendly staff. One thing I didn’t understand was that it was in the fifties, cloudy and windy and they had all the doors open and crazy people were sitting outside. So basically it was open air and it was freezing! I would’ve enjoyed everything more if it was a comfortable temperature in the dining room.

We had calamari c/w fries and fish and chips. Great choices and prices with happy hour drinks. Waitress went extra mile splitting ample salad on seperate plates. Great harbour side views.
