Went to have fish and chips, waitress forgot multiple things from out order. The slaw had hardly any dressing on it, the tartar sauce was bland. One good piece of fish and one rather dry pice. The Cesar had no garnish and was lacking some other components.Nice atmosphere and nice seating area on patio. Fries are good.

My husband and I enjoyed a meal at Bate Bones on our trip through Port. It was quick, hearty and full of excellent flavours. The service was fast and friendly. We would definitely go back again.

Very interesting setting and a delicious meal. I got the crispy halibut poke bowl. While the rice seemed odd as it was room temperature, the overall balance of unique flavors really worked. Loved the seaweed sheets and crispy halibut. Everyone in town recommended we go there for dinner and I'm glad we did! Would definitely go there again.

The building was neat,the food was smelling good but we cannot tell you if it tasted good or not as we stood in the front entrance for 15 or so minutes and didn’t even get so much as eye contact from the staff let alone a seat. Ended up walking out hungry with nothing at all. Not ideal.Tried to respond to your reach out but the email bounced back saying your address was unavailable.

Outstanding food and wait staff that make you feel like a welcome regular even if it's your first time. We went on Valentine's Day, and it was EXTREEMELY busy, but we didn't have to wait much longer than usual to be served, and the food was served promptly, hot and delicious.Dietary restrictions: The only place in town, and one of the very few I know of anywhere that can claim to be 100% gluten free

The Brisket with Yorkshire Pudding was beyond amazing! We also had a plate of Brisket. The portions are so generous that my starving son was full and couldn't finish it! I enjoyed the flavourful garlic sauce which accompanied the garlic parmesan fries. The Lobster Bisque had delicious chunks of fresh lobster in it. We will be returning!
