    Cheerful ambiance, great service & delightful fare. Seafood chowder IS VERY fresh, don't miss it; calamari is truly like butter (per previous tip) & peanut sauce is an perfect pair.

    Good ambience. My 'best ever fish and chips' were good but nothing outstanding. Fries were unimaginative. Would try again, think it was just a poor choice on my part. They have a good menu.

    Love their steak and fish and chips. They use to have candy cane cheesecake. It was so good.

    Such a beautiful restaurant with amazing food. My husband is a sous chef here and has worked here about 25 years.
