    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!
