    I've been here many times and would have said this was at least a 4-star... but my last trip was terrible! I do NOT complain about food but on this occasion the fish was so dry that it, quite literally, could not be eaten. The best they would do was take 15% off my tab... and I had guests with me. It will be a while before I take anyone there with me again. They will have to earn my trust first...

    Seafood fettuccine. Blue mussels, scallops and big shrimp.

    The service is gruff, all tho you make a reservation they tell you to sit anywhere, no one was there to receive my friends and I, and We did make reservation; the waitress we had was absolutely gentle and nice to take our order, the cost was fair for the presentation, the atmosphere is good. The seafood fettuccine I had, was tasty. Would recommend it ! Maybe it's just the lack of caring for customers from the staff that makes the place less appealing to return.

    Love the setting of this restaurant come boutique hotel. It's situated just off the main drag which is nice as it gets away from the hustle and bustle (what there is) of the main downtown street! Sitting outside does allow for some people watching which is always good fun. The menu is a simple one which covers the basic food groups, so I am not suggesting that you come here for Michelin quality food but more so for the ambiance and the quality of the service. The staff were all attentive but allowed you to get on with your own thing, which I always prefer. As I said the food does the job and hit the spot. I think what took me with this place is that it was away from the other eateries and offered a different vibe. Dining inside was another experience as it was quite dark inside but once my eyes adjusted I was fine. They have some unusual art work on the walls so i am not quite sure what theme they are going for but all in all it did not really bother me. Service was quick, although it was not very busy. They have a good selection of drinks behind the bar was extensive. They had a couple of groups in but even then the noise was not intrusive. All in all I would come back here, might even try a room for a night as they look very good from what I could see.

    Perfect Pub!

    A wonderful downtown restaurant for a good dining. We stopped here without earlier reservation for…read moredinner during our road trip. The restaurant was busy, almost all the tables were taken and few of them were marked as reserved. However, we were greeted with a nice welcome and seated within 15 minutes. Nice ambiance, great service, delicious food. We had the Crab Cakes and Catch 22 Fisherman's Platter, nicely prepared and presented. The grilled lobster was nicely done, crab cakes were delicious, scallops were nicely seared and juicy. The servers were friendly with wonderful and prompt service. A good dining experience!

    Had a great dinning experience here! The interior was on the dim side with blue circular lamps on…read morethe walls. Almost like a dinning room inside a ship! Went to the restaurant around 5pm, and there were a couple tables already occupied. As it got later, around 6pm, more parties of people filled up the space. Staffs were friendly and attentive. I was indecisive and asked lots of questions and asked for suggestions, and the waitress was patient and helpful. Really appreciate that! Menu got lots of appealing dishes. Decided to try Fisherman's platter: half lobster, haddock fish fillet, shrimps, scallops, crab cakes, fresh cooked vegetables (broccoli, carrots, and yellow strips guessing was potatoes? Or white carrots?), and mixed rice. I enjoyed Fisherman's platter as it got a nice seafood variety as well as carb and vegetables. Very balanced meal! Not strongly season nor was it oily, which is how I usually prefer my meals. There were black pepper and salt on the table, so if needed to, could use that to season it more. The plate also came with a small cup of melted butter. Besides the seafood, the mixed rice and vegetables were perfectly cooked and were delicious as well! Waitress provided me a nice hot wet towel to wipe my hands after eating the lobster, which was considerate! I got crème brûlée for dessert and requested it to be served hot. It was very cozy, hot and sweet! Definitely a pricier meal, but considering how much seafood I ate, I would said it was a good deal (especially comparing to SF in California)! Paid with Apple Pay. Would definitely come back again and try some other dishes on the menu!
