I completely forgot to take a picture when my meal first arrived because the aromas were so enticing and the presentation was beautiful, but I did manage to snap one after digging in. I was thoroughly enjoying my meal halfway through! They also have a children's menu, which is a huge plus for my large family. Our waitress was probably the best I've ever encountered at any restaurant—she was incredibly friendly and polite. I can't wait to return year after year when we're on vacation! (The picture is of the 12oz roasted Atlantic cod served with potato pancakes, coleslaw, rye bread, tartar sauce, and applesauce).

The potato pancakes are not from a box—they're made fresh, and you get two generous portions. The fish was also quite tasty, so you definitely won't leave hungry.

I also asked if I could place my toddler's meal order right away to prevent any meltdowns, and they were very accommodating.
