We got an appetizer, main and dessert, and all of them were made very quick and very good. We were there on a weekday afternoon so there was hardly anyone, and the service was very good. Waiter was checking up on us about every 10 mins, and we were done in about an hour. The decorations are very cute, too. I would recommend their cheesy bread as an appetizer, so good! The view was nice too.Dietary restrictions: I myself am not gluten free, but they have gluten free desserts and they are very good! I got one of the GF cakes and you could not tell it was GF!

Very quick service, friendly, too! Food very good although I preferred the "old style" hash browns (larger, softer). Very fresh, desserts are quite decadent. Price reasonable for what you get. Atmosphere good, especially when it is not too busy.Vegetarian options: I can get the eggs Benedict with spinach and tomato instead of ham

The waiter was extremely helpful and had great customer service skills. Everything about the meal itself was great except the fries, I'm not sure if they were undercooked or I just got a bad batch but they weren't my cup of tea.Other than that, it was a beautiful dining room and wasn't overly busy. It did take 30+ minutes for our food to get to our table though.

The place is busy because of its location and prices, but not because of the food. The chowder was cold, as was the lobster on the lobster roll. Most disappointing about lunch today was the staff seeming to neglect clearing tables. There was 10 empty tables and I was told to seat my self. Only one table was cleaned so I sat there. In the hour I was there, no one cleaned all the surrounding tables. Having served for over a decade myself, you don't go back to the kitchen with empty hands. It's a bad restaurant with bad staff serving ok seafood in a great neighborhood.

This restaurant delivers great food, I ate my food and it was very good, delicious, some would say. My server was this guy with a beard. I don’t know his name but he was very nice and polite.

One of my fav spots downtown for a filling breakfast. Excellent service, endless coffee, just right.

Good selection of diner food. Generous servings. Reasonable prices and good service. Interior is a little tired but comfortable. Getting in the door could be a challenge for someone with mobility issues. (Awkward steps)Wheelchair accessibility: Can't see how anyone on a wheel chair could get in the front door. Maybe there is a different entrance but its not obvious from the street.

I went here with a group of 8 guys, with half of us ordering the full lobster dinner. Three of us recieved a great dinner, one of us received a lobster that was a lot less full than the others. After highlighting this with the server, they did offer to cook another, but at this point the rest of us were done eating and we had to get going to a show so he declined. He thought that they may partially comp the meal as a result, but they didnt, and that wasnt an issue. The issue was that server insisted that he still pay 18% gratutity due to our group size. I realize that the issue with the meal wasnt the servers fault and my meal was good but I would be frustrated if I was in his shoes.

We were there for supper on Sat, Feb. 10. This was our third time going here. The first time, the steak was cooked perfectly. The second time, it was mostly raw (veggies were mushy and inedible, barely ate any of the steak), and the third time, it was completely overcooked (no pink at all, charred black in places). All four of us asked for our steaks to be cooked medium and they were beyond well done. None of us wanted to complain because, with the exception of one, we all work in the customer service industry and we understand what it's like to deal with difficult customers.Our waitress was friendly and deserved her tip.We rarely go out to eat because of how expensive it is, and the inconsistency of the food ruined the experience for us so unfortunately we won't be back.

Our server was super nice! That's the only reason we didn't leave! The fish and chips was 99% batter and soggy, the Caesar salad was just meh and my kids didn't like the chicken strip and fries cause they also were soggy. Biggest waste of 100$. Would never waste my money again!

Prices are reasonable and the food we have tried here for the most part is good and in some cases (clam chowder) is great. Staff are very friendly and attentive normally. We will return.
