What User likes about The Shipyards:

The interior has a spacious, nautical-themed design. Our group of four thoroughly enjoyed the delicious food and cocktails. The service was exceptional, with friendly and attentive staff.

Was not happy with the service the waitress walked away in the middle of ordering

This is my favorite spot to go in all of Lorain. Seems to be really underrated, I don't often see people hyping it up. If your reading this, go. If I'm wrong an...

In an eclectic tapestry of experiences, this restaurant elicits mixed reviews from patrons. While some laud its exceptional service, delicious food, and lovely atmosphere—especially during special events like weddings—others recount dismal brunch experiences marred by long waits, inadequate food quality, and overwhelmed staff. The picturesque views are frequently mentioned as a redeeming feature, yet issues such as burnt dishes, lack of replenishment, and poor organization during busy times persist. Overall, the venue showcases potential but evidently struggles with consistency, leaving diners divided on whether they would return for more culinary adventures or not.
