The beer was good, server charming. When I got home, the side of coleslaw was mixed in with the sticky ribs (!!not even a separate container) and the ribs were so black and charred and crunchy (ouch), they perforated my tongue! Also, they mixed up my order with another patron, so if it hadn't been that I used the loo before leaving, I would have gone home with the wrong order. This was a Tuesday evening (4:30 ish), so not busy - in fact I don't recall seeing any tables occupied. JEEEEZ guys, what a let down!

I had the half sized seafood chowder and half sized Caesar salad on my visit. The seating and wait…read moreservice was super quick, with both dishes served at ideal temps. The Caesar salad was shockingly good - easily one of the best I've tried. The Presentation was eye catching and the flavours excellent. 9/10 The seafood chowder was amazing - served in a pottery/glazed dish, it was also lovely to look at. The chowder came with a beautifully cooked slice of salmon - served rare/medium rare at that perfect level of a buttery texture salmon needs. The scallops were so delicately cooked I almost forgot they were scallops (the norm is often chewy/firm). 10/10 The restaurant faces the marina so the view is great rain or shine. The windows are floor to ceiling and really open the space to the water. The staff and servers were outstanding - I felt cared for not bothered. Water was always filled and check-ins frequent but not intrusive.

They have a variety of Handcrafted pastries that melt in your mouth, Freshly baked bread you'll want to take home, and Coffee that feels like a warm hug. Whether you're craving a quick treat or looking for a spot to relax, this place is a total vibe! We got the cinnamon bun, strawberry and blueberry cheese danish, and almond croissant. Everything was truly delicious but the blueberry cheese danish stole the show. It was the best cheese danish I've ever had! Heads up, they only accept cash and debit. They also have limited seating available and tend to sell out fast. We went at 9:30am on a Saturday and of their items were gone and by the time we left at ~10:30 they were almost halfway sold out.

I am terribly disappointed with this restaurant. Me and my two friends decided to come here for a…read morenice girls brunch out. From the moment we walked in the door we felt unwelcomed because we were teenagers who have a more alternative style. As soon as we were seated we had waiters and even the manager walk by and stare at us and listen to our conversations and our waitress even walked circles around our booth at one point. Our waitress was super polite to us at first until I complimented her earrings, she then looked offended and even acted as though I was trying to rob her. The food was mediocre at best. I ordered the chicken pot pie, one of my friends ordered a grilled chicken salad and my other friend ordered eggs Benedict. My pot pie was falling apart when it first arrived and was still half frozen, my friends salad barely had any chicken and the chicken that was there was in big chunks all three of us tried the salad and all of our reactions were "that's gross". All three of us ordered a coffee, my friends cup had pink lipstick stains all over the rim, and mine had black chunks at the bottom that very obviously weren't coffee grains. I am disgusted with the way we were treated like criminals and how our food was just simply not good. Update: It's the day after me and my friends had a meal here and all 3 of us got food poisoning and have been vomiting all night. Do not dine here!
