  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
This wonderful historical building is reminiscent of an old framed boathouse. Here you can sit on the deck and dine while watching white swans and ducks swimming in the cove with their little ones following close at hand.



The water views are terrific, either dining inside or out. Relax and let your thoughts sail away with the sailboats in the harbor. The deck feels a bit rustic and is accented by beautiful umbrellas to shade you from the sun. The lower patio with our outdoor granite bar is relaxing with beautiful views of the water and offers refreshing summer cocktails and a full menu."

    The food was excellent. The server was outstanding. The only thing that took away from the overall experience was the owner on his phone 2 tables away FaceTiming someone for the whole 90 minutes. Omg. Very unprofessional. Probably won’t be returning
