    One in our party very much enjoyed the salmon salad and clam chowder...top rate. The other had fish and chips which had a rather thick batter which covered the flavor of the fish. The server was over-anxious to take our food order...we had just sat down. And, once the food came, we didn't see her again until we asked for boxes. So, a mixed review.

    Food was super spicy. If your sensitive to spice I don't recommend eating here. Such a shame cause it was yummy but burned my mouth and torn up my stomach. Not to mentioned expensive for small amount of food. Drinks were good, atmosphere was awesome.

    Unfortunately went during the rain. Definitely hard to enjoy everything but it was the best it possibly could be with the situation. Everyone was very nice and tried their best to make the best of the situation. I would definitely recommend but go on a sunny day for sure
