Service was ok, atmosphere was ok, but the food…

They need to close this kitchen. I ordered the shrimp wrap and it was so salted it was nearly inedible. Just absolutely CAKED with salty Cajun seasoning. It tasted gross just a few bites in. Girlfriend ordered steak rare with broccoli and if my wrap was almost inedible due to salt, the broccoli was ACTUALLY inedible. Heinously salty to the point where any hint of broccoli flavor was totally absent. We barely even touched it. Her steak tips, despite being ordered rare, had maybe a piece or two out of 5 or 6 that even passed muster for medium rare. The rest of the pieces were medium to medium well. I asked for a water as my drink and it tasted so strongly of cola from the soda machine I hardly drank half of the small cup despite the onslaught of salt from the food. Girlfriend’s lemonade was concentrated and gross as wel.

I will never order food from this establishment again and I don’t recommend you do either!

That said, the staff is nice and doing their best. I do think it’s a solid spot for some drinks, but please god avoid the food.

Shrimp wrap was $16 and the steak tips were $22. I don’t think it you PAID US that amount that it would be enough to try and eat that food again. Just shameful

Karaoke is always a great time here. But summertime, having the outback bar is amazing! I love the ambiance and the views. I also love how we can walk around the whole little town of Dover.

Want to hear with my family for lunch and let me tell you… This is the place to get a steak and cheese. I just got the traditional steak and cheese with onions and it was absolutely excellent. It even reheated well because I didn’t finish it all at the restaurant. Their poutine fries are also notable and great for sharing, but no judgment if you want them all to yourself, I totally understand.

This place served my husband and mother RAW haddock. The owner is a coward of a man who took no accountability and sent his poor staff out to handle the situation

Sitting on the deck looking over the river, and the ongoing waterfront development is still beautiful.
