Your receptionist wasted 1.25 hours of our lives Saturday. Stressed and rude. It was an absolute Terrible experience. Had to leave and made our trip not so great. Thanks Barbara.
Anchored in the bay, all the way from Puget sound and a dinghy ride in for food. Walked around and quickly realized this was the busiest spot in town. Cold beverages outside made the wait alright. The "award winning" fish and chips were great! Calamari too. Great food, generous portions & good view of our boats. Staff was fun too. Cheers!
first time very impressed the server the food was so good love it best LUNCH DINNER recommendation
