The mustard that came with the pretzel was really bitter, although the pretzel was fantastic. Pulled pork sandwich was okay, and the tomato soup was nice.

There wasn't a big selection of items on the menu but what they served was good. I had the seafood chowder which was really good. My wife had the bratwurst which she found a bit too gamey for her but I thought it was fine. If you can get a table near the windows you'll be rewarded with some lovely views down over St. John's.

The seafood stew was good but I would put a little less spice as it tasted only pepper towards the end. I liked the cod the most. The portion looked small at first but was actually decent as the bowl was a tall one hope there were spoons that go with the kind of bowls.
