Just stopped in for a bowl of chowder with home made bun ( as noted on the menu), $18. Let’s start with the bun, was an obvious store bought variety. The soup was hearty with a lot of seafood, ( will give it that) but the flavour was a bit bland and overall serving size small. After the server dropped the food off, the next time I saw her was about 5 minutes after I’d finished eating when she asked how it was and gave me the bill saying I needed to pay at the front. I went to the bathroom first, wasn’t that clean, and then went to the area where I was suppose to pay. No one was there so after about two minutes, I walked back around the corner asking if anyone was working there and a server came over to accept payment. It would have been really easy to just walk out the door and not pay ( not my style). The table sitting across from me ordered a meal that came with vegetables and it was really easy to see there were what you’d by in the freezer section of a grocery store. Overall I think there are better dining out options here.
