A nice place to either grab a snack or a meal. The food was good and the place is clean with inside and outside ( when the weather is good) . Will visit again as good eateries are in Short supply .
Food was great l, their fish and chips are fantastic and for the price of 20$ its a steal! Great service as well, definitely coming back again.

The pan seared haddock on thai rice was perfect. Service was top notch. A touch of formality, but not a high nose. An overall wonderful dining experience.

Food is subpar, meant for tourists, good location. The restaurant was half empty, our server was inexperienced, took a long time to get us napkins, we asked from another server if we can have another plate, never saw her again, the seafood caserol plate was small and tasteless, i returned it, they still charged us, my suggestion is to stay away from the boardwalk altogether, find restaurants in town away from it.

Upon arrival I was greeted by a friendly hostess that explained downstairs is fast food and upstairs is pasta. I selected upstairs, the staff was very attentive and I was offered a great table with a lovely view. After review the menu I selected the pan seared scallops with risotto, whit it arrived the scallops were raw inside so the waitress took them back with no hesitation. The new plate I noticed everything was much fresher the risotto was very warm and the vegetables lovely but sadly the scallops were a total let down… this time they were cooked and rubber … not sure how you make scallops rubbery ? They did it. So for this reason I am giving a low score. Perhaps the kitchen QC will improve on this area.

First of I love the spot on the harbour! They have two menus the downstairs one i would say is more casual and the upstairs is more upscale.
We came here our first night in town and tried the down stairs menu for some fish and chips and we thought they were phenomenal. It was the perfect amount of batter on the fish and chips the fries were not salty at all it was done crisp to perfection!
The upstairs menu we came back and tried and for the price I would say is not worth it, the seafood Quattro was absolutely overpriced in my opinion it did not come with a lot and the lobster was basically all shell except for that one claw and barely had anything on the tail. The salmon was tiny and but they were delicious I have to say! Over all I do think try other dishes and pass on this one.
Their desserts that we tried are so good and the oysters were amazing. For sure our highlight dishes for the upstairs.
Our servers for both up and down were both so kind and so attentive they made sure we were well taken care of.

After spending the day visiting a sick relative in the hospital, we needed someplace close by to eat. This being a downtown waterfront restaurant, and not outrageously priced, I expected your average tourist fare. The fish and chips seemed reasonably well reviewed, so I figured that would be a safe option. Unfortunately, they were sold out, forcing me to take my chances with a different selection. I decided to go for the breaded scallops.
I don't expect a $60 plate for $27, but this was at most a $12 plate. A handful of small, absolutely tasteless scallops, with a side of mediocre fries, and a small portion of supposedly homemade seafood sauce. Not a slice of lemon or a sprig of parsley to say hey, at least we tried! I added salt and stole lemon from my nephew's fish plate, but nothing could save this dish of sadness and disappointment. If McDonald's decided to put out a scallops and fries option, this is the experience I would expect, but for half the price, and with a fountain drink to make the trio. Oh, and I would never buy it.

The price for the food is not worth it. I don’t understand everyone praising the lobster roll. We weren’t expecting to be given even half of a lobster but the lobster roll is not worth $30. It’s a Costco croissant with shredded lettuce, little bit of sauce and 1/8 of a lobster beside a premade salad, probably cost $8 to make with the all the ingredients.
The seafood pasta also tasted like nothing, you barely taste the seafood and overall just felt extremely fatty.
Not to mention the chowder seemed to only be chunks of flour, it was so thick and also very fatty, it felt like their main goal with the dishes was to fill us up only, not for it to taste good.
Although scenery was good, it didn’t make up for the absurd price of the food. When we paid as-well, the server stood over my friend who was paying the bill, he said it felt intimidating, such unnecessary behaviour. The only redeemable points was the location/scenery and the fish n chips.
