Overcooked fish, rubbery, just not particularly good. Fries soggy. Vegetables ok. We make better fish at home. Over priced. The place’s saving grace is that the view is unreal.

The service was decent which made the overall experience tolerable. Staff was friendly but did not come around to check how our meal was. This is likely because the restaurant was busy and the servers seemed like they were putting in their best effort to get the drinks to the tables.

Unfortunately, the food was not great. We ordered the halibut fish and chips which was highly recommended by reviewers. While the batter was light and crispy, the fish was dry and under seasoned. The size of the fish was on the smaller side given the price they were charging.

The fries sat on a pool of oil on the dish. The fries were also made soggy from the coleslaw because it didn't seem to be drained well so the marinade mixed with the oil making the bottom layer of fries soggy. This dish could have been improved if they served the fish and chips on chip paper and the coleslaw on a little bowl. We had to move our fries and fish over to extra plates to prevent them from getting any soggier.

Not worth the price we paid.

Got the crab cakes and fish and chips (haddock) and liked them a lot! Had ordered takeout and it came on time. Staff were friendly. Parking was a bit tricky - not a lot of spots and it was busy

Ordered take out pizza $ 27.00 plus tip I can't say I was impressed. Very little toppings and was lacking flavor.

Grilled Halibut ( two pieces )with half truffle fries and half Caesar salad) and the “Charlie special “ every time 👍the Calamari is pretty good too. New owners are awesome.

Wonderful lunch and friendly efficient staff. Ordered their breaded oysters and halibut and chips. Both were delicious, perfectly cooked, and served nice and hot. Local wine was also excellent. Had a table at the window, looking out at the ocean, while winter sun streamed in to warm us up. Definitely recommend and would go again.
