Went here for dinner with the SO and things were fine at best. Bit wobbly table but there was heating outside on a night that wasn’t too cold but it was appreciated. We’d seen a version of the menu online and on Google Maps and it seems the prices have increased $2 for a lot of the items recently. That’s fine but the food itself was fair at best too. $12 for a small plate of baby potato’s were the worst we ordered due to how plain they were and how little cheese were on them. To the point that out of the 10 or so potatoes only 2 had any cheese. I ordered the fried seaman platter and was pleased with the amount of food for $36 but the scallops didn’t taste fresh and the fish was again… ok. The real kicker for me was the selection of beer as all cans were $8 or more where the same can else where would be $5 or lower. Draft was normal price but they amended that it was only 14oz and not 16oz. On top of everything else, there was a 4% charge on all tickets due to “business struggles”. Why? If you need to charge more money then just charge more money for your dishes. Ordering our dinner we paid $99 plus 4% plus taxes and then plus tips where you are always asked 20% or more. That expensive dinner already quickly blew up to $140…

This spot hit the mark in every aspect. The food was soo good! You have to get the crab dip!! The fish sandwich was like that! I enjoyed the shrimp sub as well!! Drinks were delicious to top it off! I enjoyed the heat lamps in the ceiling which kept me warm, staff was super attentive, and knowledgeable!
