We were pleasantly surprised! The food and service are excellent. I ordered the grilled shrimp with yummy rice. My husband had the shepherd's pie. Both were delicious. They have a sangria that is so good. The atmosphere is warm and cozy. If you can get a table by the river, even better. Highly recommended!

She was good, but the volume was just overwhelming. It was so loud that our server couldn't hear us and we struggled to hear each other, even when we were just a foot apart. Unfortunately, my salmon was undercooked in the middle and my sister's haddock was served cold. It was difficult to communicate with our server about these issues, especially since he had already made a mistake with my sister’s order. To be honest, we just wanted to leave at that point. On the bright side, the buffalo wings were tasty, and our server did keep our water glasses full. Would I consider giving this place another shot? Maybe, but only if it wasn’t a loud music night and we ordered something other than seafood.
