Dropped by during a slower period and the staff we still super attentive. The food was spectacular. Ordered the beef croquettes, seafood chowder, steak sandwich and fried oysters and everything was excellent. Well prepared, perfect temperature, all light and crispy. Definitely worth the visit

We had the chowder, it was delicious and was served with cod croquettes and a selection of bread, also had the roast beef this was exceptional.
Will definitely return, highly recommend a visit.
