First, our Server was new and when asked what beers were "Seasonal" as listed on the menu and we're told there is an apricot ale and no other beers other than what's on the menu. I had to go to the bar to find out what other beers were available and found many others. Other than not knowing what beers, our server was very pleasant and delivered food quickly. Food was served warm and fresh. Baby back ribs were Excellent and not overcooked or reheated. Almond crusted fish was crunchy and thin, very disappointing for $22. Overall restaurant was clean and good atmosphere with a beautiful patio overlooking the boat docks.

Amazing spot in the river front in Lorain. Coming from a foodie town like Portland Maine (where…read moreI'm almost positive they got their name and logo from, Shipyard brewery, I see you). Growing up in Lorain I always hoped for nicer restaurants with more creative menus and ingredients. This place gets top marks in my book. The beer is flavorful, the menu is relatable but trendy, and the service is friendly. Also, for social distancing, the sheer size of the place makes it easy. Every time I go home to visit the family, I'm sure to swing by here for a pint and walleye sandwich or cup of French onion soup.

We were there on the day of a double decker BLT, with chips or a salad. The sandwiches were made up and were kept warm. We drove home to eat and found the sandwich still warm and made well. 3 slices of bread, plenty of bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise. The side salad was nice with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and croutons and dressing of your choice. I wish the seat g area felt a little cleaner, that's the only thing I see for an improvement.

The atmosphere is cozy and the young woman that took my order was quite friendly and alert. I ordered food, a baked good and tea. The food was great. The bacon, egg and cheese croissant sandwich was filling and the chocolate chip cookie was delicious. I ordered peppermint tea, which was also tasty. The only negative thing I have to say, is that I had assumed because they had loose-leaf tea, the tea would be served in a teapot. Instead my tea was served in a to-go cup. That was disappointing, as I was hoping to sip out of a tea cup. I know, completely fussy, but wanted to mention it in case anyone else had the same assumption that I did. Overall I would recommend this as a place to gather and do work. They are quite family friendly as there is a kids' table.
