Really good food and coffee selection. The view of the water from where you're sitting/eating is nice.

We went here at 12:30pm on a Monday and the place was completely empty which we thought was surprising. The food was amazing and our bill was only $30 for both of us. Hard to find a meal for 2 for that price these days. The view was great and the staff was super friendly. We will definitely be back!

Ordered a $40 cake days earlier then the party. Cake was not made on time , had to come back numerous times to check. Tasted good but seemed to be rushed together last minute as there wasn't much filling inside.Would suggest calling ahead of time to make sure your order is ready.First time ordering here, hopefully next time is better.

Visiting from Ontario a few days ago. My nephew and wife from NL, my daughter & boyfriend and myself went to have something to eat. Ordered, waited for a bit. Everyone's order but 1 showed up. Was told the missing order would be right there. Waited, then told a few minutes. Waited, and apologies for forgetting the order. Food was overcooked, dry, expensive and for what you paid, you really didn't get a lot. If you are visiting Botwood, I wouldn't recommend this place.

Ordered two sandwiches. It took 45 minutes to get one. They forgot the other one. Nothing complicated, a hamburger and a grilled cheese. Not busy at all.

Ordered two sandwiches. Hamburger and grilled cheese. Place is empty. Took 45 minutes to get the burger. They forgot about the grilled cheese. Venue is great, the view anyway. Not sure if this is the standard here as I am the first to review. Velvet says she is not coming back.

The experience was a solid 2 out of 5 stars. The best part of the meal was the view. I ordered deep fried cod and a chef salad. As you can see from the photos the accuracy can be improved. I recieved a Caesars salad instead. I was too hungry to send it back. Turkey dressing, chips, chef salad(caesar salad), deep fried cod, glass of milk and a can of coke. $26.69. The restaurant was not busy and the speed of service was adequate. The staff were friendly. The cleanliness of the premises was adequate as well. I will likely not eat here again but if I do the restaurant may redeem itself. Hopefully I just went there on an off day.
