    Pan Fried Haddock with fries
    Raymond M.

    Not sure if the timing, but it looks like this place has been taken over by new management and that many of the poor reviews were under the original owners. At any rate, I stand by my 4 based on the quality of the food and the fact that, on a nice sunny Halifax day (both of them), you can sit on their spacious deck and enjoy some really good seafood and local Garrison beer on tap. I had the pan fried haddock with fries. Really well done, fish cooked perfectly, really nice fries. Others at my table had the club which was reported to be excellent and the veggie flat bread which was a generous service or a nice appy. Service was attentive and prompt, prices reasonable, and the menu was pretty broad. Seafood, burgers, salads, etc.

    Surprisingly good! I had the lobster roll with fries: super fresh tasting with very little mayo and fluffy white bun, fries were hot and puffy! Excellent. My husband had the fish cakes and baked beans. While the fish cakes were fresh, they lacked true flavor however the green tomato chow chow served with them was AMAZing. (Bottle that and sell that!) Started with tomato soup which was thick, chunky and had the perfect amount of cream in it. Ended with the sticky toffee pudding and I didn't want to share. Totally e joyed that! Our waitress was friendly and efficient. We sat indoors due to the weather but the patio seating was immense. I loved that there were little plastic ducks hidden all over the restaurant and kids were hunting all over to find them! What a fantastic idea so the kids are quiet and everyone else gets to enjoy their meal!

    It's OK but nothing special. The outdoor seating is spacious and it looks like the kids have a good time running around but the portions are small relative to the price and the quality is a bit below average. The service was not quick considering that it was not busy. The local area looks like a tourist trap except that there were no tourists. There is plenty of parking nearby and several little shops to wander around but it is quite a ways off the beaten path.

    This place was closed in December and now two new owners have taken this beauty over! We arrived @ 7 pm to congratulate them on owning there second food service (Ma bells) is there other business, it's packed! Many tables with 5 plus people! Not to mention besides the fact that they were crazy busy, our food was mouth watering! And the Caesar was delicious! Some people had a longer wait then others but all in all were satisfied ! Anyone who had eaten here before, must come back no try it, the second time around is always better!

    Fish and chips are amazing

    See all

    Unbelievably overpriced, $26 for MAX a tablespoon of lobster on the lobster roll. At best 2/10, avoid
