Fantastic vibe and wonderful, attentive staff. I went to see a band (Mermaid Bait, who were…read morefantastic as usual) but grand some wings and a beer. Wings were really delicious, wish the blue cheese was a little chunkier though. The beer was whatever the hoppiest thing they had on tap was, some red IPA. It was very refreshing and nicely hoppy! That being said it was almost $30 for wings and a beer. Felt a bit steep for what the place is. That being said without a cover for the music I suppose someone has to pay.

On a…read moreSaturday afternoon it was pretty empty, which was good to accommodate our large group (you can make bookings in advance). There was covered outside seating with heaters, good for the chilly winter afternoon. They've got a few house beers on tap - light, medium, and dark, as well as an alcoholic ginger beer. Their main food option is wood fired pizza, lot of topping varieties. It was not gourmet pizza, but solid, satisfying, with a good amount of toppings on each pizza - they didn't skimp. The standout food-wise was their nice fat chips... they were perfectly crispy outside, soft inside, and properly hot. Bottom line - solid option for a beer and some chips, a quick pizza if you're in town. Nothing fancy, nice folks...

My partner and I ate here yesterday…read more The sitting arrangements were confusing since they have no host. I went up to the bar and they said we could sit anywhere. After sitting down, the cocktail server informed us we couldn't get food at the high tops so she took our order and moved us. She said she would transfer our table but no one came by to greet us. Throughout our entire meal no one checked on us. We never received waters. They asked everyone around us if they were doing well, but avoided our table. The food itself was mediocre at best. I had the fish and chips, which had a nice texture but lacked flavor and my partner had the pulled chicken open sandwich which he said was good but had giant spoon fills of aioli. The only positive experience was the deck view, which overlooked the other islands.

We didn't go during discounted times. It was busy and we had pork belly which was really well cooked but deathly sweet from the fig, plum and apple. The fish and chips are cooked to perfection but let's face it, fish and chips should be perfect at $26 :). The steak was outstanding, perfectly seasoned and cooked with great accompaniments. I've just looked over their Christmas menu which I think looks great but my dining companion wouldn't find appealing.
