    Honestly I've had a better burger in my hometown of WI. However, a lot of food for the money. Good beer selection. Cute little place with great views.

    Great view, but slow service & the food wasn't great. The guac on the tacos was too heavy w/onions, but husband enjoyed his fish & chips. Our drinks sat empty until we had already finished eating.

    To be totally honest the food wasn't great. I got the fish tacos (grilled) and my friend got the fish and chips. Both left a lot to be desired. The service was ok. Great view. Would not go back.

    Wife said fish and chips were pretty good. I didn't like the crab cakes. The clan chowder wasn't bad.
