    Food and ambiance was great. Fish and chips were delicious. The fried seafood deluxe platter tasted good but was very small for the price.

    The restaurant has a fun, quaint feel to it. The oysters were very good.Next we had the Fried seafood deluxe. It was definitely fried, may have been seafood and was anything but deluxe. It could be that we just ordered the wrong thing, but steer clear of this item. Our server was very good. All in all, great spot but very pricey for what you get. 180.00 for a beer, a cocktail, 18 oysters and friend batter. There are definitely better options out there.

    We loved everything we tried! Scallops, seafood plate, donair, and definitely the best clam chowder we’ve ever had. Cool vibe, fun staff, everyone in the place looked like they were having a great time!

    The food was delicious. Our waitress was fabulous (shout out to Monica!!!). Loved the music. Needed more space for dining (table limited & shallow — not enough space to put everything). Stool was uncomfortable at times
