    Soda bread
    Nicole N.

    We stopped by for brunch on Sunday and didn't have to wait to be seated. The waitress was kind and asked us if we wanted to try their homemade soda bread. It was delicious, but we wish she would've disclosed that it would be added to the bill at an additional $8 cost. I ordered the eggs Benny and my boyfriend ordered the half roasted chicken. Both meals were good, but we felt that some items (potatoes and chicken) were a bit too salty. We thoroughly enjoyed the homemade carrot cake. It comes with ginger ice cream and we were able to swap it out for vanilla. Overall, the food was good and enjoyable.

    The food was very tasty. We had the biscuits to start. I enjoyed my brunch burger .. my husband didn't really like his grilled cheese but oh well.

    Great pub/restaurant. Great service. Good ambience. Been twice. Love the smoked haddock chowder. Everything I've had there is good.

    For my main dish I had the Seafood Pie, what a great take on north shore seafood with an impressive presentation.

The staff are friendly and the servers knowledgeable and efficient. The hostess had trouble finding our reservation (my companion was already seated) but it seemed to be quite busy that Friday night. The restaurant consists of quite a few separate rooms and we were seated in one that was not too crowded. (I walked through the bar on my way in and that was hopping.) I had a glass of sauvignon blanc and after studying the menu and consulting our server my companion and I both went for a burger. There was no problem with my swapping out the french fries for onion rings (points there!). The burgers were done exactly to our liking (mine mediume rare, hers medium well). I should have turned down dessert, I was that full, but my companion was willing so we went for it. There was a good selection of typical New England desserts and we finally settled on a blueberry crisp topped with vanilla ice cream which was good but not great (not sure I can put my finger on why, so it may be that I was too full to enjoy it). There is a parking lot although it is not paved so was not fun walking through at the end of a day when it clearly had rained. It also could use some lighting. This is a wonderful restaurant suitable for a special occasion or an ordinary night out. I will definitely be back.

    Delicious every time we have eaten there ! I usually get a…read morefish dish or steak . Portions are fair
