    The food was excellent. Service was excellent, but the waitress was not friendly. A little smile goes a long way. However, I highly recommend this restaurant.

    My fried haddock wasn't hot as if it were just cooked, but was good. Sweet potato fries weren't cooked fully, were slightly mushy and were not hot. My side of spinach came out atleast 10mins AFTER our meals but it was piping hot! I originally chose garden salad as one of my sides and it consisted of rooty weeds, a few pieces of shredded carrots and one slice of cucumber with 3 croutons. It was not a salad. No Iceberg seen. Been there 3-4 times since summer and this was not great. Last few times have been good experiences. Service was good, although she didn't check in with us much. Young girl was pleasant and patient despite a few hiccups. Still gave her a nice tip with a couple extra bucks for Christmas. Just an off day, I guess, but we'll be back again.

    The service was excellent. Our waitress was right there checking in on us, refreshing our drinks and making sure everything was good. The room we were in made voices louder than they actually were, making it difficult to have conversation at our own table. My husband had the Asian chicken sandwich. He found it to have too much cornflakes on it, but the potato salad was good. Calamari was very good. Fish tacos were good, but I wished I'd ordered the burger or California wrap. Price was a bit high, but prices are increasing at all restaurants.
