Not a good experience at all. I ordered strip loin steak…read more BNo baked potato. Half the plate was taken up by a swirl of sweet potato which I did not order. The presentation tried to be artsy but failed miserably. Too much grizzle and fat on the steak. When I did eat a steak only piece it was good. But not med rare. Closer to blue. I ordered a lemonade. When the waitress served my steak she did not notice my empty glass and I had to ask another waiter to bring a refill. For the rating this restaurant had on Yelp, it was totally undeserved.

Not overly sophisticated cuisine, but with old songs playing in the background the service made me feel at home, while watching the sun set over the harbor.

Anyhow, I had a local red ale and tried cod tongues for the first time. Delicious!

We just had the deluxe nachos which were cheese & chicken on stale tortillas. The cheese was melted in the microwave and the sides were canned salsa and sour cream. This cost $19.

I thought I made that clear to the waiter, but there was seasoning on the burger, which disguised the flavor of the meat.- the seasoning was all I tasted. I managed to eat about 1/2 of the burger. The fries were good. The waiter offered to have the burger remade, but I declined his offer. He did give me a free dessert.
