I'm more attracted to non-fried food so the Grilled Haddock was right up my alley. This time I had that with the side order of baked beans and macaroni salad. Again I was not disappointed. My wife gave me the thumbs up on her food also. So I guess I did good. I read the review about the cleanliness. Let me say this, this place is clean. I'm sure they have food inspectors that come in and if it was not able to pass, it would not be open. On the other review which they gave one star, I don't know when this individual called in an order but must understand that you only have a certain amount of people working, trying to please their customers so you have to give them a break. Obviously they don't want to lose customers. If it is a certain time when people are calling in phone orders and coming inside for take out, things happen. Nobody is perfect unless you walk on water. I have been telling a lot of people about this place. Thank God I'm retired and can go there anytime I want. Now I don't have to make seafood at home anymore. The only thing I'll continue making at home is the baked Salmon. Going two days in a row, I guess I'm trying to make up lost time since he has opened up. I'm good with that for sure!

The haddock was absolutely amazing -- cooked perfectly and easily the star of the meal. The thin onion rings were really good too!

Our waitress was wonderful, attentive, and made the experience even better. Tedie and I had a great time, really enjoyed our meal, and we'll definitely be coming back next year. A great local find!

Well, at least we kept our word today when we ordered their two different bowls for takeout. My wife ordered the Fishbowl ($30) with the grilled fish of the day (salmon), cherry tomatoes, quinoa, feta, peaches, arugula, and basil lime vinaigrette (she said no to onions). She could not get over how tasty the quinoa tasted and wondered how they prepared it. She also thought the peaches could have been a little sweeter since we are in prime peach season. While the salmon was just slightly overcooked we'll attribute that to it continuing to cook as we drove the meals home. Even with those minor negatives, she said she would definitely order the dish again. I chose the Poke Bowl ($35) for my meal (my first ever poke bowl) with marinated raw tuna and salmon, edamame, cucumber, watermelon radish, snap peas, nori, avocado, sesame seeds, scallions, and pea tendrils, all over sushi rice with ginger gochugaru oil and soy sauce on the side. This was absolutely delicious. It was a wonderful blend of fresh flavors and textures. If I have another poke bowl somewhere else I only hope it can come close to measuring up to the enjoyment I experienced with this one.

Instead of refreshing, the lemon juice overwhelmed the entire drink. The BLTEA with bacon, lettuce, tomato, egg, avocado, and mayo was wonderful. The side salad only came with a sweet balsamic vinaigrette. With a bit more attention to detail, this place could be amazing.

Kitchen closes at 10pm but the bar is open until 11pm. We also got to try some of their beers and ciders before committing which was really nice as well.

My order of two fish fry's and a small order of fries and onion rings to go came filed on top of the fish instead of separate containers and just stapled with wax paper on top instead of a take home box. They said they were not ready for take out. Even though they advised the shake machine was ready it was not so no chocolate shakes. Do better Genes Fish Fry!!!

I should not have even had to say anything about the service because I Door Dashed the order, but I do. The dasher did exactly what they were supposed to do. They picked up the order, matched it to the slip, and delivered it on time. When we got the order we had items missing. They were not on the print out. No problem, we called. They tried to say we didn't order all we said and they finally went back and looked and saw that they did forget it. They said they would give us a new fish meal. We had to go get it. Now we had already paid for Door Dash and even more because prices are higher on Door Dash but I went anyway. They shorted us part of the meal and almost all the condiments we asked for. When I went in to get it they gave us the two things they forgot and not another meal and acted like they didn't do anything wrong. It is what it is, but please take responsibility for not doing your job correctly and then make it right. They didn't make it right.

We sat at the small bar where the bartender Scott brought us drinks & the $30pp restaurant week specials. Three courses - app, entree, & dessert.

Our entrees were bangers (5) & mashed potatoes w/ sauteed green beans (reg$15.50) & shepard's pie (reg$17)-huge, took more than half home. Dessert was carrot cake cupcakes.

Whether that was the intention or not, it left us feeling unwelcome as guests. While the food, drinks, and service staff were enjoyable, the overall experience was negatively affected by this interaction. Français Le service et les boissons étaient bons, et le personnel qui nous a servis était agréable. Malheureusement, notre expérience globale a été gâchée par ce que j'ai perçu comme un accueil peu chaleureux de la part de la propriétaire, Eliana. Dès notre arrivée, je me suis senti mal à l'aise et peu le bienvenu. Sa façon de communiquer m'a semblé insistante et froide, ce qui a créé une atmosphère désagréable.

Nederlands De service en de drankjes waren goed en het personeel dat ons hielp was vriendelijk. Helaas werd onze algehele ervaring overschaduwd door wat ik ervoer als een onvriendelijke ontvangst door de eigenaresse, Eliana. Vanaf het moment dat we binnenkwamen voelde ik mij ongemakkelijk en niet echt welkom. Haar manier van communiceren kwam op mij over als opdringerig en afstandelijk. Wat mij het meest teleurstelde, was het gevoel dat we werden aangemoedigd om te vertrekken toen we interesse toonden in een ander gedeelte van het restaurant. Of dat nu de bedoeling was of niet, het gaf ons het gevoel niet gewaardeerd te worden als gasten. Hoewel de drankjes en de service goed waren, heeft deze ervaring een negatieve indruk achtergelaten. 日本語 (Japanese) ドリンクは美味しく、スタッフのサービスも良かったです。しかし残念ながら、オーナーのエリアナの態度によって全体の経験が台無しになりました。 お店に入った瞬間から、歓迎されているというよりも居心地の悪さを感じました。彼女の態度は押しつけがましく、失礼で、正直なところ「お客さんに来てほしくないのかな」と思ってしまうほどでした。 特に驚いたのは、レストランの別のエリアを見てみたいと思った時の対応です。歓迎されるどころか、「見たいなら帰ってください」と言われているような気分になりました。私はこれまで多くの国を旅し、たくさんのレストランを訪れてきましたが、このような経験は初めてです。 レストランというのは、お客さんを歓迎し、心地よく過ごしてもらう場所であるべきです。ただ中を見たいと思っただけで迷惑者のように扱われるべきではありません。 ドリンクは良く、スタッフも親切でした。しかし、オーナーの態度がそのすべてを台無しにしてしまいました。

One of the rudest and most unpleasant experiences we've ever had…read more There was no one to greet us when we walked in, and when we went toward the garden to find someone, the owner approached us with an immediately hostile attitude. She clearly did not want us there because we had a stroller and treated us as though she was doing us a favor by allowing us to sit. While we were maneuvering the stroller through the garden, I briefly placed my small handbag on an empty dirt area and she proceeded to yell and curse under her breath in front of the other customers thqt I was ruining her nonexistent plants. Completely unnecessary and incredibly unprofessional. We left without ordering because there was no way we were going to spend a single dollar in a place where customers are treated this poorly. If this is how the owner treats people walking through the door, I can only imagine how the rest of the experience is. Absolutely disgusting customer service. Avoid.

This is my first time through since the turnover. Right away you can see the decor that used to cover the walls, giving this spot massive character, is gone, hopefully that is something to be added by the new owners going forward. There are some things from my experience that may be chalked up to the recent turnover such as a messed up order that was fixed and the longer than typical wait for this type of food, but the quality of the food also took a hit. The sandwich was mediocre and the muffin was incredibly dry.
