We were seated at an amazing table right on main street , it was a beautiful sunny day, and alot of action people watching downtown! The manager served us and made sure our drinks were never empty! My boyfriend and I both decided to have the fish & chips and what a good choice that was! The breading was perfectly golden , and the fish still tender and moist. Would love to try the mussels next visit and the meatloaf on the table next to us looked to die for too!

We asked a lady who was doing flower tubs in the town and she recommended this restaurant as the only one that would be serving breakfast items later on. Thanks for that- it was great! There are tables outside and the menu was super. Eggs benedict and cooked breakfasts were hot and tasty. My only complaint was there was only 1 girl serving and she was really bust so ordering took ages. She served a table before us that arrived after us- annoying. She was cheerful and friendly though. I would recommend breakfast here, at least. Good location.

I had a hogshead Caesar and it was good, hot wings were tasty and steamy hot as well.What we didn't like. The service was quite slow. It always seemed to take forever to get refills. Food seemed to take a while, but not too long. The issue was that one of our members meals came out 10 minutes after the rest of our food. On the positive side the late food was discounted for the inconvenience. Fish from fish and chips were chewy (fries were good). Mac & cheese was ok - it said 4 cheese but it was all white cheese. One of our party members ordered a beer and it came and it felt cool but not cold (when the weather is +25 out it should feel cold) - second beer was cold. The bartenders also seemed to drop quite a few glasses behind the bar (not an issue for us but could have been annoying had we been at the bar). We'll probably not be returning to this location in the future.
