I thoroughly enjoyed the shrimp and cod cakes; I'd never tried them before, but this was definitely the best place to find them. The prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is overall delightful.

Be prepared to spend a bit more than typical family restaurants, but the quality of the food makes it worth the price. Both times I've been here, the service has been outstanding and the meals were incredible. It’s definitely worth every penny. This lovely spot is perfect for a nice meal and some relaxation. You can't go wrong with any fish dish you choose.

I had a delicious Scallops and Risotto meal and my sister had the half chicken that literally fell apart from being so tender. We had homemade bread and a salad too. Very good and fast meal.
