Very good food. The pretzel and sausage appetizer was delicious, as was the salmon. We were all happy with our entrees. Service was excellent as well.

Seriously amazing food. Really loved the Caprese Salad & they were so nice.

Went twice during our week long stay in Oceanside. Good food and good service. One of our favorites was the carrot cake for dessert. Pretty tasty and fresh. Big screen that is split so watching multiple sports or games is pretty cool feature.

Great options and reasonably priced. We ate here twice. Burgers, cauliflower app, and poutine were excellent. The apps are big enough to be meals.

Vegetarian options: Impossible burger, cauliflower appetizer big enough to be a meal.

Was looking forward to trying this place. Showed up at 7:54 and although there were 3 tables of people inside, they had the patio gate closed and a sign up saying they were closed. I spoke with a waitress that said her manager "closed early today because it was slow."

I had the burger with tater tots. The burger was really good and I loved the crispy tater tots. They had football games playing, which was the main reason we stopped in for the 1st time. We were not disappointed. Oh, and they have the best ice!!!

We had a great meal here with a table of 12. All food was excellent. Highlights were the chimichurri flank steak, brussel sprouts and beef cheeks but everything was on point. Great service. Busy place. Cool that you can see into the kitchen from the dinning room. We sat inside but they have patio seating and a nice big bar.

Ordered leek & potato soup. It tasted fishy and looked the color of a lobster bisque with fried leeks on top. I ordered a side of salmon and they gave me an entire dish instead. The salmon tasted fishy and the coleslaw that was included tasted old. I’m easy going and definitely not picky and actually felt pretty nauseated after eating.

My husband ordered a chicken salad gluten free and it came with the fried leeks.

Spent $50 for what ended up being a disappointing dinner unfortunately. The atmosphere seemed cool but I can’t say I would order from here again or make the effort to dine in.

If you like Americana, this spot is perfect. I often refer to such places as fancy diner food (which I love), and wish I had more pictures.

Ate here with my wife and toddler. Our server was very friendly and kind and even made an effort to engage with our kiddo. The fish tacos were delicious!

Great fish tacos! Outdoor seating doesn't ensure fireplace will be lit.
Also space around the pit isn't big enough for the plates so bit awkward. But great fish tacos and wine selection!
Indoors has sports bar atmo, fyi

Beautiful restaurant!!! We ordered the beef cheek poutine with cheese curds, a delicious brown gravy and instead of fries, it came with crispy tater tots! Everything was seasoned and balanced! Also had the turkey chilli with inhouse made biscuit. It was so soft and buttery and a Caesar salad. This meal was too delicious! I would definitely recommend it!!! Our waitress was the absolute sweetest too;
