Testimonials

Chuck B: “I have eaten here many times and have never had a bad meal. We usually start off with the Lobster Bisque which is always amazing. Our server this visit was Taylor. She always greets us with a smile and you can tell she loves her work. My wife and I had the Bisque, Lobster Mac n Cheese, and Coconut shrimp. Our friend had the Shrimp Basket, and we all had a drink. The bill was under $100 which I think is a bargain considering the quality of the food, the cleanliness of the restaurant, the beautiful view, and of course the amazing Taylor along with the rest of the staff that make this a place great. They also have great Margarita’s! We will revisit for many years to come.”

Rob C: “We stopped in for dinner and Marisa our server was so helpful and made us feel at home. It had been a very wet and gray day and I decided that the lobster bisque bread bowl was going to be my choice. It was too die for, plenty of lobster and so good! My wife had the upper deck burger. It was cooked to perfection and loaded with cheese and an egg on top. Delicious! My sister in law ordered the kelp salad. She enjoyed it, and exclaimed how great it was along with the portions. A very Delightful meal!”

April H: “Had lunch here today and enjoyed it. There’s a big window overlooking the bay, but we ate at a picnic table area downstairs. Upstairs is the restaurant. Not as much outdoor seating, but has a large bar area that you can look out windows all around the room. Lobster bisque poutine fries were delicious and my mom had a veggie wrap that looked fantastic. The service was quick at the bar, even though it got busy right after we showed up. Food came out fast. A nicer restaurant than many of the bar selections nearby, but still a casual feel to the place. I would come back again.”
