    We had a table booked for 10 people at 2:30. There were no starter options on the menu so we ordered cups of chowder while we waited for our main course. Our main courses didn’t arrive until 4:30 and no staff member approached our table to explain or apologise. No one took responsibility for the delay. The food, when it arrived was good. The wait staff while pleasant, really need training.

    They seemed short staffed. They tried, but you could tell they needed more help. The food was great, service was good, easy to get into vs some other restaurants.
