    Had an enjoyable evening with cocktails and dinner at the bar. Our meals were fresh seafood and well prepared. A bonus was live music.

    Good service, nice view. Food just not good. First time there so maybe it’s more of a fish and chip place? Anyway, baked stuffed shrimp really over cooked and stuffing not very tasty. Rice - a lot of it but one bite was enough for me. Broccoli was good. Other meal was scallops that were just a bit overcooked but sweet potato hash was ok. Sorry we won’t be back.
