After learning that the restaurant where we had planned to eat was closed, we looked across the street, and saw that The Fish was open. Oh well, let’s give it a try! The fish platter (fish chips) was as good or better than either of us had ever had. The fries (chips) were outstanding. The server was very friendly and efficient. Is it a fancy joint? No. But the food was very good, service was excellent, and the view out over the lake a pleasant accompaniment to a very good meal. We highly recommend it!

Open door allowing flies in the restaurant. We spent the whole time swatting flies away. There were dead flies other bugs all along the window sills. The floor was very sticky our shoes were sticking as we walked to the table. 3 tables of people, we didnt see a waitress for 15 minutes after being seated. Didnt get drinks for 10 min. Got our appetizer as we were leaving. We should have left. Will never go back.

Despite their best efforts, it was an impossible task for them to manage. Without a hostess, a line of people waited to be seated. An elderly woman even tried to make a reservation for a large group the following week, only to be told to come back at another time by a waitress. Why are there so few employees working here? Is it due to low wages or poor working conditions? Although the restaurant is lovely with a view of the sea, they will not survive the summer season if they do not hire more help.

We visited on an overcast drizzly day when there were only a few other parties, so I am sure when the place is busy the wait is longer. My husband had a delicious french onion soup and my lobster bisque was not bad. We split the fried fish entree which was one giant piece of fish— the biggest, juiciest and most delicious I have ever had. The french fries were yummy and the coleslaw fresh. We also enjoyed our Southern Tier IPA. The prices were steep but the view could not be beat. I would definitely come back.
