The New Year’s Eve menu said, rather casually:
“A Char-Grilled 10 oz. Rib Eye with Jumbo Black Tiger Shrimp.”
That was it. No spoilers. No warnings.
What arrived was a full blown culinary experience in taste, tenderness, and presentation !! A beautifully charred rib eye so tender it practically waved the white flag at the steak knife, crowned with jumbo black tiger shrimp that clearly knew they were dressed for a night out. A fire kissed lemon perched on top like it belonged there all along, adding just the right zing.
Fluffy clouds of comfort mashed potatoes…the kind that make you pause and quietly nod in approval. The vegetables were bright, fresh, and perfectly cooked, not just “on the plate for show,” but actually invited to the party. Even the rosemary stood tall, doing its aromatic thing like it had something important to say. Who doesn't absolutely love a fresh sprig of savoury accompaniment !!
The description may have been brief, but the flavours spoke fluently.
I’m glad I took the bait ..because in Port Dover, when the food bites back like this, you happily let it.

Odessa was an excellent waitress and my cousin and I enjoyed talking with her. Our food and drinks were served quite fast despite how busy it was. I enjoyed my dessert, very delicious.
Nice view of the water or lake.

I had the clam chowder and mango goat cheese salad, and my son had the reuben sandwich with onion rings. Lots of food and everything was so tasty and fresh. Margaret

The 2 of us came for a meal in the winter. We were the only diners except for one other table with a single diner. Our food came out very quickly and my Haddock and fries were luke warm at best. Fish was soggy like it had been sitting out. I asked for ketchup and vinegar and by the time it arrived everything was ice cold. My husband ordered fish tacos. The perch in his tacos were so small they were hardly noticed. When he asked about the portion size, he was told that perch comes in all different sizes and they only ever put one piece on. In the summer the portions were larger, so if this is the new normal, you may want to remove fish tacos from the menu. We will not be returning.

We come here quite a bit. Food is always good! Everyone knows that! (one critique is the coleslaw, needs a bit more mayo in my opinion), however their Dirty Santa?!!! Yummy! And look at this presentation! Beautiful! Would keep Santa on his toes for his trip around the globe!

We drove from Burlington to get the famous perch and it was very disappointing. It was old and over cooked. It was the same with the pickerel. Fries were good. Beer was good and fresh. Our waitress was really good but I won't go back there again. I know it's fall and fishing has stopped so that could be the reason why the fish is old.

The atmosphere was quite nice. The food I had was nothing special, A little blander than I had hoped. But I had a nice cocktail the atmosphere was good.

Our waitress #112, I’m sorry , we can’t remember her name, was amazing! Our dishes were the best we have had (shrimp linguine and rib eye) plus the chocolate cake really nailed it for us. Please give the Chef our compliments and ditto to your bar tender tonight. We shall return soon!

This is my go to place for fish and chips. There's sometimes about the batter and the way they fry the perch that sets them apart from the rest! Other menu items are typical pub foods.
As a year round patron, I'd say the service depends on who you get. It's super busy in the summer so be prepared to wait as this is a walk in establishment only.
They have a great patio with palm trees and nice beach views making this a summer hotspot!

Good fish and Chips, Steak was ok, a thicker cut would of been nice, it was cooked good, wish the onions were caramelized and cooked with the mushrooms instead of crispy onions.
